TURTLE THOUGHTS

But Would the Space Pope Approve?

The Earth-bound Roman Catholic Church is looking to expand beyond planetary borders. You know, just in case. I hope they thought to get permission from the Space Pope first.

It's Funny Cause It's True

62 Years After the Alien Invasion

             

It was on this date, July 8th, back in 1947 that newspapers and radio broadcasters trumpeted the news that an alien saucer had crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.  Later, the military said it was just a weather balloon, but already it was too late. The word was out, and the next 60 years would be marked by countless stories and alleged sightings of alien spacecraft. Their reasons for being here? Something about anal probes and cow mutilations, I believe.  The reported sightings have dropped off considerably since everybody got cell phones with camera capabilities, but that doesn't necessarily mean all those previous sightings were hoaxes or alcohol-induced hallucinations...it just suggests that space aliens are notoriously camera-shy. Except those above I guess.
