Wow signal .... Oh boy it's like 1977 again .... Nothing new since then...

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

There are no aliens. Find the Lord, Seth!

Andromeda wasn't real?

[Kevin Sorbo]

The Good Book is my wow signal.

[starrmtn001]

There are no aliens. Find the Lord, Seth!

Find him?  Why?  Did you guys lose Him again???  Maybe He's hiding from you lol. :

[RoseGirl]

Alan Alda?

yeah....could be, yeah. with a little 'Radar' mixed in too.

[aldousburbank]

Seems the SETI folk are the only ones who haven't heard

We may as well monitor the sky for soap bubbles.

[AppealPlay]

The good book is my wow signal.

[saucerlike]

The telescope Seth's talking about that got the 'Wow' signal is like 2 miles from where I live.  Pretty cool

[WhiteCrow]

Can't believe that Art didn't know Wow was just numbers

[Dyna-X]

This one?

No, the one when he came back after the commercial break.

[AppealPlay]

"That's pretty neat but you can't dance to it."

"..."

Oof.  Leave the comedy to comedians, Seth.

[coaster]

Every time Art mentions the movie Contact, I get the urge to watch it again. Fun movie.

[Uncle Duke]

Alan Alda?

I thought the same thing, but not the "MASH" Alan Alda, more like the "Paper Lion" Alan Alda.

[maren]

Pfft, Octopus got nothing on Double Century

The Octopus really slowed down traffic on the Floating Bridge when it was anchored out there for Opening Day? Safair? years ago.  I think he sold it -- sure was pretty!

[aldousburbank]

No, the one when he came back after the commercial break.

Temptation Eyes or whatever.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

I'm thinking his yachts are pretty awesome.

http://www.businessinsider.com/crazy-facts-about-paul-allens-superyacht-2015-5

His yacht has two submarines that he used to find a lost Japanese battle ship for funzies? 

He owns a house on a lone mountain where the Smithsonian Institute telescope is located here at Mt Whipple by my home in Sahuarita, AZ...he gets exclusive access to the observatory...interesting story...Bill Gates built a house next to his here after visiting!...

I read something that said Paul Allen is estimated to be one of the top three smartest people in the world in a recent article. I have no idea how that could be known but I don't doubt it. It is unbelievable all the things that man has his fingers in. I was just on the Microsoft campus a few months ago talking to one of the top minds on hydroponics and urban farming in the world who's being paid to develop her industry by Microsoft without much of a point beyond them being interested in pushing the technology. And that's just one block of the Microsoft campus. Then you drive around the Microsoft campus and it's a big city of it's own where every block is a giant building warehousing geniuses working on things like that.

It is awe-inspiring and frightening.

Can't believe Art thought Contact was a documentary. 

[RoseGirl]

I thought the same thing, but not the "MASH" Alan Alda, more like the "Paper Lion" Alan Alda.

Got a bit of 'the Chipmunks' in him too.

oh oh....who was that actor that played 'my favorite martian'?

[Oculary]

Seth's wife: Dixie Shostak

[maren]

Oh, THAT Good Book.

[chefist]

Every time Art mentions the movie Contact, I get the urge to watch it again. Fun movie.

It has James Woods...who is a documented genius...

[Dyna-X]

Temptation Eyes or whatever.

Thanks aldous!

The Lord is not from earth right? Wouldn't that make him an alien?

[QuantumMystics]

There are no aliens. Find the Lord, Seth!

[Freyja]

No, the one when he came back after the commercial break.

Didn't pay attention to before or after the break...prob this one.

Lord forgive me for I have sinned.

[ChandlersDad]

The Good Book is my wow signal.

Thanks for the totally irrelevant post, as usual. Isn't there some extreme right wing fundamentalist Christian forum you could be posting in? You know, somewhere where other posters are Bible thumpers like you?

[aldousburbank]

Lord forgive me for I have sinned.

Heh
