I love the idea there is intelligent life out there, while keeping my feet firmly planted on earth, the odds (see the Drake equation N = R8 X Fp X ne X fe X fi X fc X L) are to great to ignore as well as our technology may be just to primitive to read the signs. P.S. I have spare foil in case they're already here ;-)
