Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Q: Do I think ETs exist?

A: Yes. I am living proof of that.


Q: How will we discover them?

A: By complete and utter accident. And with lots and lots of boxen crunching WUs.



Q: What are SETI's benefits?

A: Once we make initial contact, I believe we'll find that green alien women to be easier to understand than human women.



Q: Should we transmit a beacon?

A: Only if includes a message asking them to bring their own beer. Nothing greases the wheels of a new friendship like a good, cold beer.



Q: What should we send?

A: Most definitely a request to bring their beautiful green alien women and an ample supply of beer... we can't always buy everything for our guests, after all, we're hosting the party, so they should chip in a little something. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?



Q: Why do I run SETI@Home?

A: Well, frankly, because watching green alien women on classic Star Trek reruns isn't cutting it anymore. My efforts are my contribution to hastening the arrival of those exotic organically-shaded Kirk-bait femmes. That and it gives me something to do.



Q: What are my views about the project?

A: I mostly look at the project sideways, but from time to time I see it while standing on my head. I'm hoping to venture out into new and unexplored territory soon by looking at it from a great height, as well as from a great distance. Like The Larch. The Larch. The Larch. Not The Dagwood, but The Larch.



Q: Do I have any suggestions?

A: Absolutely! I believe that all SETI@Home WU contributions should be tax deductible, all the snacks in the vending machine should be free, there should be world peace and harmony, and low cost boxen should be had by all. I believe in miracles. I believe in me. After all, I am the Egg Man, I am the Walrus. Goo-goo-cachoo!
