You don't understand. SETI is Vade's only hope of meeting girls. You trying to tell us we won't? Sheesh -- what am I wasting my time for then!!!

Shigbo-2 or Chigbeaux-deux as the French foppishly call it? Sounds like a good name for a rapper.

I think the message is something like:
I AM THE SON OF THE FORMER EKATASP OF ERRITRON. I NEED TO DEPOSIT SEVEN MILLION MEGATHARBS IN A GDIC INSURED BANK. PLEASE BEAM ME YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER AND THE NAME OF YOUR YOGHLIFF AND MY DESCENDENTS WILL SEE THAT YOU GET AT LEAST ONE MILLION MEGAGHARBS CREDITED TO YOUR DESCENDENTS's ACCOUNT.

If they are calling collect, we'll just have to send Carrot Top out there to show them how its done, so we don't get stuck with a huge phone bill. Even if their is nothing out there, let's send him anyway. :)

Actually the good news is that "How to Serve Humanity" isn't a cookbook. The bad news is that it is a badmitten instruction manual.

But in the case of SHGb02+14a, every observation has first been made at 1420 megahertz, before it starts drifting. This one fact more than anything suggests an artefact or anomaly of the array.
Yep.

Double checked your calculations, got the same result for Beta that you did.
Though, if something were moving relative to us with only a speed of ~8m/s, how the hell did that happen with all of the planetary motion of us and the signal in question. It seems to me that the signal is from earth.

What this thread really needs is a lot more big dumb pics.
Come on, you toad-brains. I can hear your mental gears grinding: "Golly, this thread seems to be about outer space! I done seen a movie once about that there stuff. If I can find a pic, I'll post it to show to the fellers. Yeah."

You don't understand. SETI is Vade's only hope of meeting girls. You exaggerate. There are plenty of girls here at the Farm de la Fun. They're just all dominatrix types. I don't have to be on top all the time, but once in a while would be nice.
