Profile: Cypher

Personal background
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate slurs for Kosovo refugees. I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.

Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and god-like trombone playing. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Two-Minute noodles in fourty five seconds. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Japan.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard.

I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after University, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration.
I study Rocket science. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles.

Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.


I balance, I weave, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekend, to let of
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Well as bizare as I am my views on SETI are fairly standard I think, I know there is a far greater probability of extertarestrials existing rather than not, so i'm sure we will find them eventually.
What I can't wait to see is various peoples, especially religions, views on explanations for them. The fist sign of life will most likely be microbes of some kind so shouldn't cause a massive panic or anything, however i'm sure there will still be many people who will go compleatly insane at the thought.

I'm of two minds as to weather we should transmit any specific becon to any extrateristrial inteligences we find, I think our planets broadcasts will really speak for themselves, and besides any inteligence we contact is likey to be more advanced than us, considering we have only been able to transmit these kind of signals for less than 100 years or so. So i think that an organised response would be counter productive, we have all seen the effects when a 'primative' cultre is introduced to a 'superior' one...

I personally run SETI because I'm just that damn good, my old machince got through about 20 work units in a year or so, with a nice average of over 100 hours per unit... celerons really should have had an L2 cache... However i'm shaving away that average now days with my new comp running and instance or two of seti almost 24/7. The energy is cheep, and it's nice to know i'm getting all that bad data out of the way so someone can find the right stuff.
