I Read Banned Books

Shh! I am hacked into a neighbor’s wireless connection long enough to write this post. I have had internet connectivity issues for the past few days. Liprap commented that it might be the Praise God for Beef post I wrote on Saturday. Boog thinks it may be the wireless router which is old and obviously needs to be upgraded. However, I think that the aliens have arrived and want to take over I Read Banned Books.

“A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line.”- Mel Gibson as Jerry Fletcher in Conspiracy Theory

Seriously, I am not kidding. Boog uses the idle time on his computer to volunteer to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research, i.e. discover alien life forms here on Earth. Boinc is supposedly safe, secure, and easy. The Seti@home Project is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

I swear that Sir Arthur Charles Clarke is attempting to phone home. Do you think it was a coincidence that this visionary science fiction writer and friend of the Project passed away on the very same day that I have had connectivity issues for the third day in a row? It’s a conspiracy to kill the Cult of Insanity and to destroy the Internet!

As I typed this post, three major casinos suffered power outages on the Las Vegas Strip, and Xoralundra lost all of her hair in a freak accident.

There is no other way to say it. They’re here.

Rest in peace, Sir Arthur: “Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.”
