The leaders of the SETI@Home project, which uses a network of home computers to aid in the search for radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations, announced this week that they have detected a signal, coming from an area of apparently empty space between the Pisces and Aries constellations, that could be from space aliens. You can read about this story in an article from Scotland, because, well, the Scots like little green men too.
STI, the Search for Terrestrial Intelligence, is having a little bit more trouble this week. The project detected mixed signals in New York City, where the police have started arresting native New Yorkers as a part of their effort to suppress anti-Bush protests. In one incident, the police tried to stop a protest by arresting a building supervisor for taking out the garbage. In another example of this strange strategy, the New York City police tried to keep the peace by arresting a man while walking home from a sushi restaurant.
Everyone knows that those liberals are big sushi eaters, you see. The Club for Growth says so. Every time a New Yorker goes out to eat sushi, it must be part of some anarchist plot to protest the policies of George W. Bush. The only choice the NYPD has is to make eating sushi illegal.
Yes, it all makes sense.
