Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled “Men in Black” that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.” So Medvedev was referring to a Russian “documentary film” titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earth’s resources in exchange for advanced technology...

Congrats! MCCI
I'd go with evil spirits, but that's just me.
You say that, but you've never asked to be on the 3-D printer ping list...
Thank you! You can enjoy cookies on my behalf.
Packing the hospital bag is important. Take good, thick socks.
She probably won't want the crib right away, when she sees how tiny the baby is. A small drawer is more secure, and you can just put a folded towel in the bottom.
Call me a pessimist, but I see no reason to expect that our experiments in space will ever lead to a permanent human presence off Earth.
Oh, that is *good*! Nothing like beginning the day with a good laugh.
Good morning, y’all! The ground is frosted; afraid to check temp; must go to feed Horsey-lou and check on Kitty-lou and Mr. Quackers. We don’t worry about the peacocks—they are a crafty lot, and fly up into the trees when they’re alarmed.
You only say that because you haven’t been with the UT/Flying Castle since the beginning.
I figure if you can think about the plausibility of an action/event, it will eventually take place. Dick Tracy had a wrist radio, back when it was “sci-fi” but we have things that are much more sophisticated today.
Still, I can appreciate your thoughts.
(If you’d like to FReepmail your story to me, I would be honored to read it!)
When are you gonna start? I'm getting the anticipatory thrill up my reading glasses.
You never disappoint!
Heck, they have transmitters that are implantable so you can apparently talk to “yourself” without holding an obvious radio.
They have two way communication systems that are wearable, they are built into clothing.
Commercially feasable yet?
No, only usable currently for unique special specific applications.
Evil spirits wouldn’t last very long here.
I’m just the answering maxhine, I am here to receive and relay messages.
I am designed to never breakdown, never sleep, and never need maintenance.
While I have been on duty, I have received several messages from annoying ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, salesmen, and credit card companies.
All of whom I have summarily dispatched.
I am the perfect answering maxhine.
You will be perfectly safe in my care.
*Ominous music*
OK, I thought that when I wished you eternal chocolate that you promised to schlep me onto any pinglist with which you were involved. Since I’m guilty of an oversight, whom do I contact to get on said pinglist? Or are you pulling my lower extremity?
Back in the late 1980s I wrote a magazine article about the need for larger displays (14” VGA was the common display at the time). Now large displays are common.
When at Compaq in the early half of the 90s I suggested a wireless standard that would allow any device you brought near to your computer to identify itself and load its drivers into the computer. USB did that, without the wireless. Give it a little more time.
I also suggested putting Windows in the new-fangled Flash BIOS. Now you can buy a computer with a Flash drive as the primary storage and, it has Windows 8 on it (Windows 8 - shudder).
All that to say, I can imagine a good gadget that will become reality, but I’m beginning to despair of any advance that requires courage. We are no longer the home of the brave, we are the home of the eternal safety net.
My story actually assumed we’d try again as an international consortium, subsidizing space until it became profitable. But the Earthworms became impatient and wanted to spend the money on other things, so it had to be shut down.
To boldly retreat ... as it were.
I’ll copy-edit the story this weekend and share.
Who needs a transmitter?
Share with all of us, hopefully?
You dispatched the messengers???!!!
You were designed to dispatch the messages!!!
AUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!
Actually, that's a pretty neat trick for an answering machine. Howdja doitt?
Off to do chores.
