As fireworks lit up the heavens above the Olympics opening ceremony, watched by around a billion people, something else was seen among the whizz-bangs in the night sky... a UFO.

Thanks. I’ve never seen the show. Is it ironic that the original air date is 4/20? 4/20 being the international day of massive weed smoking. He looks like he may partake in the enjoyment of bong hits.

I like him as Bond and in Layer Cake. I think you might like him in a different way than me though.

As you can see, they have the place surrounded. They’re just waiting for the right moment to turn on their heat rays.
