"Hello" from Earth




This is what you usually want to say to the people on the other end of the phone when you are talking to the credit card company or Time Warner cable. The Hello from Earth website project, however, is a little more interesting than the idiots that screw up my bills every month. They are actually going to transmit a bunch of messages to our nearest inhabitable planet. Pretty neat. The best part? YOU can create a message to send. Now, I know some of you. I can imagine the messages you might send and I feel obligated to tell you that any life forms we find could possibly be more intelligent than us and not have the same sense of humor. So before you send your message, consider the ramifications of it being misinterpreted. Imagine "War of the Worlds". Don't do that to Tom Cruise again.
