What would aliens think of us?

[Kodos]

If aliens were watching us, what do you think they would find strangest about us? Religion? Sports? Music? Art?

[QuikSand]

all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

[JPhillips]

All the good life switched from carbon to silicon eons ago.

[cartman]

I don't know, Kodos. Why don't you and Kang tell us?

[Coffee Warlord]

Tough question, and really impossible to answer.

It really boils down to what kind of life we're talking about. We really have no way to know how sentient life could evolve elsewhere, and what kind of reasoning/thought processes they would use. Theoretically, an alien race could be so, well, alien, that neither side could hope to understand any facet of each others' reasoning process. Which would in turn make trying to understand social interactions, etc, next to impossible.

And on a silly note...I think Kodos has been inhaling too much Martian redweed again.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

Temba, his arms open!

[JediKooter]

They probably get hungry.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

I asked the Mexican down the street. He likes our fast food and easy women.

[JPhillips]

Temba, his arms open!

Shaka, when the walls fell.

[Kodos]

Geeks.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

we'll make great pets

[Kodos]

I don't know, Kodos. Why don't you and Kang tell us?

I think you taste great; Kang wishes you were less filling.

[MIJB#19]

World peace and the lack thereof.

[Kodos]

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Welker, when the ball dropped.

[cartman]

As long as you don't try to shove a 40 foot satellite dish up my ass.

[molson]

All I know for sure is that they'd think Kathy Griffin was hot.

[booradley]

They'd love me. I don't think they'd like you very much.

[JediKooter]

Wait...Kathy Griffin ISN'T hot?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Tough question, and really impossible to answer.

This.

Depends upon what the aliens consider "normal" in order to figure out what they'd think was strange.

[spleen1015]

"Obama? Really?

Fire when ready."

[bulletsponge]

"years of anal probing have proved, their shit stinks!"

[JediKooter]

Cartman gets an anal probe.

[cartman]

Dammit.

I find it impossible to believe that we're the only sentient beings in the entirety of the universe. That being said, I think any other beings are so many light years away that we'll never make contact with them. And if they're red-shifted enough, they may already be dead.

It depends on what kind of beings they are. If they're naturalists, they think we're abhorrent the way we destroy our own environment. If they're warmongers they'll probably have a modicum of appreciation for our own war devices before promptly wiping us out with their super planet death rays.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

i think we have a pretty narrow view of what intelligent life is or could be.

[Grover]

I think there's intelligent life in the polar ice caps of Mars, or deep within Europa's crust, but it's not something we could make direct contact with or something that would have an outward opinion of what we are as a species.

They'd wonder why we have teh gayz

[Grover]

ah, so Rick Santorum is an alien.

[JediKooter]

ah, so Rick Santorum is an alien.

Rick Santorum is how the aliens pronounce 'birth control'.

This is my belief - mathematical probability says that we have company out there somewhere ...

[kcchief19]

I think they would wonder why we didn't take care of the pyramids, statues and other stuff they built for us.

They also may require someone to explain the plot of Inception.

+lol

[JediKooter]

Well, we know where they are going to land.

[molson]

Wait...Kathy Griffin ISN'T hot?

That's....a bit suspicious.

Tell me, JediKooter, what do you think of us humans?

[JediKooter]

With a little cheese, they are good with just about anything.

well, what i was getting at was that humanoids in flying saucers doesn't seem likely to me. if you're able to store info on the atomic or subatomic levels intelligent life could potentially be everywhere. afa what does it think of us, idk... it probably thinks we're an interesting calamity but no more important than a fart in space.

I think your concept of intelligent life and just plain old life are mixed up.

[EagleFan]

I think the first thing they would ask is why the hell Andy Ried can't manage the clock.

[cartman]

I think the first thing they would ask is why the hell Andy Ried can't manage the clock.

Then they would ask about the whole "i before e, except after C" and wonder when R comes into play. :D

[sterlingice]

I guess it's better than what Google says his last name means

SI

This is the correct answer.
