What would be in it?

Written for aliens of course.

I'll shoot the guy who says the obvious reference.

Is this the part where I take off my helmet and say "I am no guy?" :P


Presumably they would want to talk to our mice and dolphins most, I don't know what kinds of tourist attractions they have but I guess they would probably like to visit the dominant species on the planet.

So, are you verifying that there are aliens making regular stops at or near Earth? Because you need regular traffic for the hitchhikers to catch a ride...

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

You gotta check out the "Pyramids" of "Cairo", they look just like the florbax grafibulon built 6000 years ago on our planet!

Earth is obviously advertisement space, being right in the interstellar freeway and all.

I have a feeling that this book would be like 90% ads for stuff that wasn't even on Earth.
