You statements reminded me of an old Twilight episode where the aliens come to earth to be our friends and have us over for dinner.

It turned out earthlings were the main course.

Was that the episode where they translate the alien book "To Serve Man" and everyone thinks they're so friendly.Then they complete the translation and it turns out to be a cookbook. I remember it well.

Man, this is exactly what the tin-pot dictator Musharaff has been saying all along to his people. Does anyone remember his first news conference? He said we should side with American like Mohammed (the child rapist) sided with the Jews only to defeat them later. He said this in Urdu, but was translated by FoxNews. We are making a gargantuan mistake by trusting Muslims.

I think it was a "The Outer Limits" tv show,and the story was based on a SF book. The premise being this advanced race of aliens shows up with their new technology. They are welcomed with open arms once the first translations of their explanation for being here is translated as "to serve humans".

It turned out earthlings were the main course.

Bingo! Proving that translations must be VERY precise,and that sometimes words have more than one meaning.
