I'm a 3 year old minature chocolate dachshund. I like to chase squirrels. A fine example of German engineering.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1.) Somebody spent a lot of money on my computer and hate to see clock cycles go to waste.
2.) The universe is too darn big to sit here and think we're alone. However, I also believe the odds of picking a signal from another lifeform that was sent at a time/space that coincides with our speck-in-time/space exisistince is remote. What the hey; my computer usually has nothing else better to do.
