So you will overlook his ideas because of his presentation, charisma and personal wealth. Sound like someone's jealous.

Alien life on earth wasn't the subject.

Are you being sarcastic in response to my sarcasm? I was having a bit of fun because the man actually lacks charisma. I find that endearing and humorous because he is the opposite of Mr. popular. You do understand now right?

there has been alot ... ( 3 weeks ago by mgriff1066)
there has been alot of activity in the oort cloud and the kuiper belt, i heard that a group of extraterrestials called the galactic brotherhood of light is gathering star nations, confederacies, colonies and federations from higher dimensions and paralell universes for a call to action for saving earth from the beings that are already here. The galactic brotherhoods main alien races are the:pleadians,andromedan council,sirian high council,arcturians,vegans and many more
the andromedan high ... ( 3 weeks ago by mgriff1066)
the andromedan high council is mainly from the andromedan and sombrero galaxies , the andromedan galaxy being the closes and most largest galaxy rival to our milkyway. Now these days the astronauts on the apollo missions are starting to come out with what they really saw on the moon. It is hard for many of us to contact the good aliens because they are in higher dimensions, although they can come down to this dimension with sound frequency
but we must remove ... ( 3 weeks ago by mgriff1066)
but we must remove the beings on our own, that is the lesson. When we do the galactic brotherhood wont interfere or make contact intll atleste 500 or more years after 2012

No, batman is a ... ( 2 weeks ago by fringefries)
No, batman is a fictional character from a comic book. You are aware that you aren't playing a video game right now aren't you? Do you know your name? I mean your real name? I'm sorry to disturb you from your virtual slumber but super heroes don't really exist and mostly likey God doesn't either. Sorry, no santa or tooth fairy to be sure.
You know I'm joking ... ( 2 weeks ago by fringefries)
You know I'm joking of course right? I love the movie waking life and I saw it listed as one of your favorite movies. Brilliant concept, are you an oneironaut? I've tried lucid dreaming, but it seems very difficult to master.
No, just being ... ( 2 weeks ago by fringefries)
No, just being humorous you do remember what that is right? I admire the man and think he is delightfully dull. He is wonderfully colorless and that's ok. It takes all kinds to make this world bright and interesting. Steven Wright the comedian isn't Mr. personality either but he's hillarious. This gentleman is a contrast in the cosmic play of yin yang. I like him and find it difficult to continue having to explain what humor is to you data. Put your emotional chip in, that might help.

lol confirm xD
you are all over ... ( 1 week ago by tpopton)
you are all over the place and i dont get ur humor... but i am in the same boat as you as far as conquering the dreamscape. quite difficult, but infinity intriguing. i got a little too into the questioning constantly "is this a dream" that i nearly went crazy, so i am practicing more relaxing less paranoid self-awareness methods now. back to the matter at hand though. yes this man beefs precisely at 3:08. i suggest TED add that to the info box to increase the hits on this video at least 2 fold

Wait... wouldn't the Europa organisms absorb rather than reflect sunlight?

Gosh, you must be stupid beyond reason.
Well, your love of ... ( 6 days ago by fringefries)
Well, your love of donkey kong and pokemon doesn't say much for your intellectual or aesthetic prowess so I'll take that as a complement. When you turn 10 or your I.Q. hits 10 . . .SELL!!!
Yeah, as Willy ... ( 6 days ago by Anarkiados)
Yeah, as Willy Wonka and Bambi meeting Godzilla does. So, I'm just gonna change a few things on your little text here:
"Well, your love of bambi godzilla and pwilly wonka doesn't say much for your intellectual or aesthetic prowess so I'll take that as a complement. When you turn 10 or your I.Q. hits 10 . . .SELL!!!"

Not quite the creative sort are you? Are you on drugs? What you need is pity, a straight jacket and HEAVY dose of thorazine. As for your stupidity? well, I'm afraid that's all yours . . . forever, enjoy.
It was nice talking ... ( 6 days ago by fringefries)
It was nice talking to you, but my girlfriend just got back from a modeling shoot and I'm getting laid tonite. Enjoy your poverty and the cold keyboard of your computer. Some day you'll find a lucky guy I'm sure when the acne clears and you can afford lasik instead of your broken glasses with tape in the center holding them together.
Here's my answer ... ( 2 days ago by CO2Junkie)
Here's my answer Johannas: No living things absorb sunlight with 100% efficiency. Also organisms tend to absorb certain wavelengths (the ones they find most useful) and reflect other wavelengths (the ones they find most harmful). Trick is since we don't know what to expect (they probably don't have cat's eyes) we wouldn't know for sure what pattern of reflectivity to look for other than something 'un-geological'.
