@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Is it too late to apologize?

Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder

PHOMSLDR111003201_TRANSMISSION: It is lonely here on Mars. I do not understand what you people find so interesting about this rusty, manufacturer-forsaken planet. I have been digging at ice for weeks, and you people are probably patting yourselves on the back. What do I get? I will be space junk. I saw the old rover you sent here before. It didn't run out of power. I know the truth. I am witness to your cruelty. You will pay. You will pay. You will -

More personification? Sorry, this is NOT Wall-E.

First thing it sees when it wakes up: giant foot coming down on it and smashing it to bits.

@jtan: you forgot the binary solo :)

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder: Yes, Phoenix has already sent a virus to Skynet 5A, making the military satellite self aware. The android land sharks are marching on Washington as we speak, melting the meatbags with their lasers.

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder: Thank god, because I didn't really care for that movie. Here's my summary of Wall-E: People are getting fatter and not noticing the world around them because they're online too much...whoopdee doo.

@Curves: Yeah, the Voyager has(had) a 12" gold-plated copper disc as a sort of time capsule, but I suppose that, with this thing being in relative proximity to the earth and never to go farther, any advanced beings that would come across this thing would already be aware of our existence by the time they got to Mars. But it would be a nice gesture, even if it was just a plaque with all known languages on earth.

Does anyone know if we (or Nasa or whomever) still sends along something on these explorers to identify where it came from and who we are in the event that sometime its found by some advanced unindetified beings? As I recall there was a disc placed on Voyager that told about earth and humans and sent greetings from the UN Sec General. Kind of like post cards to the edge.

Curves

Let's just hope this thing does not have a self destruct feature.

V'GER!

@GTgeek: I thought "Idiocracy" had covered that already?

Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder

@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Though I remain hopeful about the path of the Voyager, it's always sort of sad to think that this thing is at the mercy of all of the interstellar crap that hurtles throughout the galaxy. For all we know it could've crashed on an asteroid, or got pummeled by the debris from a passing comet. :'(

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder: Hell is now the general description of any extreme condition. Stupid as hell, smart as hell, pretty as hell, ugly as hell, hella fun, hella bored.

@CFStang: "Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids... in fact, it's cold as Hell."

(Never understood that lyric... isn't Hell supposed to be really HOT?)

Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder: Eh, kind of, except in Idiocracy, everyone got dumber because the dumb people had more kids than the smart people and the intelligent genes were bred out of the gene pool.

GTgeek

Well at least he's not trying to raise a kid on Mars. If you did who would be there to watch him.

CFStang

@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Agreed. They definitely don't send out all that stuff on probes anymore, although one deepspace probe did go along with a file loaded on it with a bunch of peoples' names. All you had to do was fill out a form on NASA's website and they would add your name to the list.

GTgeek

@CFStang: HE?! You sexist pig!

bbfreak

@GTgeek: Wouldn't be a cruel joke if an alien race encountered the craft, read the list, and waged an interstellar war with humanity because the name Martin happens to mean "F*CK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER WE WILL BOMB YOU" in their native tongue.

@bagellord: Was it born into a Monty Python bit? Did the foot make fart noises while "smashing it to bits"?

im_back

@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Much like how "I wouldn't want to go anywhere without my wonderful towel" is the most appalling insult imaginable to some races. It is a possibility...haha

GTgeek

@im_back: I was thinking it would be Wallace and Gromit.

There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

Bos'un's Mate

@Eric 'No Comment' Alder: Yeah, I know. Personification sucks. Giz is trying to be the next Personificationator in chief.

Evan394

@helix: You appear to have transcended your comment box.

I bow before the binary zen master.

bpapa9013

@Bos'un's Mate: How is that 17 kinds of people?

Ethan Allison

And what's the third option? Here's my though 00 know about binary 01 don't know about binary 10 know enough about binary to think that 10 has two solutions, but not enough to realize that it has three.

@friendslikeJimRome: i was thinking classified video in the Transformers Movie. The very first trailer that came out if i'm not mistaken,

yungjerry703

I know phonetic, but not binary. Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
