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...

OK, at least the two of you. If we’re really bored here I’ll break it into shortish chunks and make it a serial posting to keep you on the edges of your keyboards.
Or pillows, depending on how you like it.
Imagine an answering machine that has a megalomania problem.
Now further imagine a future where everything is networked into the internet in some fashion.
Cars, elevators, doors, cranes.
Bad ideas flow.
But with the implanted transmitter, someone would be answering that isn’t imaginary.
It’d just look like the guys with butterfly nets should be showing up.
When Rabi Schmitt (Tom Bosley) says to Satan in The Fallen ones: "[I am] by no means an expert on the Book of Revelations, but I have often thought that the Christians had something right when they depicted the end of the world, there is nothing you describe in there, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL!"
Satan responds in a melancholy tone, "But I have to try, Rabi, it is what I do."
Hmmmm. The oversight has been corrected. The negligent party will be found and punished.
It would fit well as a post on this thread.
...or serial postings...
Indeed. I'm picturing a story where a maniacal machine is getting frustrated at how the failing technology keeps getting in his way.
Crap. How can I suddenly be getting a 404 error? That server was just there. Maybe if I go through another DNS.
Crap. Stupid ISP just dropped everything. Now I have to go through the cell network.
Crap. When did I use up all my 4G minutes? Don't tell me I have to try to keep up with this guy at 3G speeds.
Crap. His car's bluetooth is out of range.
Etc. etc. :)
The late Igor was on the “cutting edge” of computers while he was in the navy, and even worked on several space programs as part of the contract teams. One of his “babies” was Skylab.
He could envision things I couldn’t and when he tried to explain them to me, for the most part, I wasn’t able to grasp his ideas. Now, however, in restrospect, I understand exactly what he was telling me, and think how amazed he would be today to see how much progress has been made.
Sadly, if the sci-fi is too technical, it’s difficult for me to read and enjoy, but I’m always looking for short stories to read, hoping to increase my comprehension.
I’m looking forward to reading your story.
Makes connection with some device somewhere which further contacts somethign else.
End result: Crane drops something at teh ‘wrong’ time.
“I never fail in delivering my messages. I am the perfect answering maxhine.”
40, says the beeber, but it feels colder.
Back from my prayer group, off to the library. Carry on!
I can't carry on now, I'm at work.
I don’t want to carry on. The nausea is too intense. But thanks, anyway. I’ll take it under advisement.
:o|
I always try to carry on when I fly, it is faster.
LOL!
When I was in TX, there was a man in our church who had a rolling case for his books, and his young daughter (probably three years old at the time) would ride on the top and rest her back on the handle extension. Clever! And she liked it!
So I see you have learned from MickeyD's experience with Stella and are now posting warning labels, eh?
However I have photographic evidence of the aftermath of the local bambi's having consumed your brew and going into stampeding zombie mode..
Currently 16 degrees, up from 3.
Hey, those things are unstoppable.
