Personal background
I'm not very fond of letting all my computers set idle while using so much electricity so all of them are running Seti@home. For fun I sing karaoke, fly model airplanes and build web pages. That's about it. I'm living in Rawlins Wyoming and will be here forever, regardless. I hate moving! I did it throughout my childhood about once a year and believe me, it's no life for a kid.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think Seti at home is great. I just enjoy getting the points and trying to get to the top of the list. I believe that The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was actually based on a true story and Douglas Adams was the one that was actually stuck here. I also believe the dinosaurs were actually killed off by a sudden and massive increase in the gravity of the earth causing their own body weight to crush themselves to death.

As for Roswell? Once upon a time there was this rancher. He had a bunch of old rusted cars, trucks and broken farm implements strewn all over his land. One day he had this bright idea. "Why not just tell everyone an alien spaceship crashed here and call in the military to investigate." He got the idea from reading Superman comics. Somewhere in some hanger at Area 51 there are several Mensa type genius scientists pouring over a 1915 Hupmobile trying to figure out how to make it fly.

While cleaning up some "spacecraft" debris a few miles from the main "crash" site. The soldiers moved aside an old Ford tractor when they found a small cave. Inside the cave the soldiers discovered the treasures from King Solomon, Captain Kid, several Aztec chiefs, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Bonanno and Al Gore which just happened to be buried all in the same cave. This became the second "crash" site and also explains why none of the now filthy rich soldiers ever came forward with their stories.

Finally, here is my theory of our own destiny.

Somewhere in deep space, about 50 light years from Earth there is a massive, ancient, battered space ship. On the top of the ship is this huge clear viewing dome over 500 meters across and inside the dome is a very large radio receiving dish. Behind the dish is this huge slimy figure with three arms and three legs which are as large as tree trunks. The creature has one huge eye a full 12 inches across just above it's gigantic fanged mouth. Setting behind the dish, the creature is slowly turning knobs and wheels making the dish scan back and forth slowly across the star filled sky. After many hours of scanning the skies the creature faintly hears in his headphones "Lucy I'm Home!" He scans back and pinpoints the location of the transmission, locking it in on his instruments. The creature slowly slides out of his chair and walks up a long corridor, his knuckles dragging on the floor, to a huge room where hundreds of his shipmates are playing backgammon. He reaches up with one arm and pulls a small bell which he then rings three times. The room falls silent and all the other creatures turns to look at him. The creature slowly raises his long sharp fingers pointing in the direction of Earth and says in a grunting, gurgly voice, "Lunch."
