I thought this article was about how Vegans boosted “Dallas” numbers
buck rogers, knots landing, facts of life… love’em.
I hope the Vegans come to Earth before they see the past three years of TV Land – or else we’ll all be bwasted with an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, because we’re obstructing their view of Venus…
…oh, wait a minute – Vegans wouldn’t do that – the smell of burnt sausage from the TV Land HQ would make them violently ill – more ill than if they had heard Slim Whitman’s “Indian Love Call”…
…but the Fomohaultians just love the smell of burnt sausage and cordite in the morning 0 and they’re about three years closer to Earth
Isn’t the first TV signal that left Earth was on of Hitler’s speeches?
John Logie Baird transmitted the first television signal in b/w on October 2, 1925, and the first color television signal on July 3, 1928 – wow!
Its cute but not true, we have long since discovered that the TV signals disperse quickly, so after a few lights years they are gone – Vega is 25 light years away and it would be nothing but static out there.
Unless you send them a DVD.
Good – that’s where I can send those Surviving Suburbia DVD’s my best enemy gave me for my birthday
What’s going to happen when Vega views Hannah Montana???
This all smells like just a excuse to let Nielson have more slack for getting those finalized rating numbers to us.
I don’t understand this.
The problem with SETI and this sort of thinking is that it’s very likely that there are few civilizations on our level in the universe. Either they’re way under our level – or more likely they’re way ABOVE our level and wouldn’t bother with any signals which clearly demonstrate what a a benighted primitive barely-civilized planet this is.
Someone once pointed out that any really advanced civilization – i.e., one that has discovered nanotech which means they’ll advance a million years beyond us in a further hundred years or so – would not be using any means of communication that we could likely detect, and wouldn’t bother trying to detect our primitive RF signals.
In any event, the best show they ever could see would be the old “Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp” series. That would show what this planet is really all about. For those who haven’t seen it:
Lancelot Link: The Great Bank Robbery
Confused by this Nerdy Chatter: This is an extremely lame attempt at humor.
Vega (? Lyr / ? Lyrae / Alpha Lyrae) is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. It is a relatively nearby star at only 25 light-years from Earth, and, together with Arcturus and Sirius, one of the most luminous stars in the Sun’s neighborhood.
So “Vegans” are beings that live on Vega.
I just can’t stop laughing…
I’ve figured for some time that there are “Enter At Your Own Risk” signs in the asteroid belt in various languages because they’ve viewed our TV shows from passing ships and decided that this planet is full of unpredictable, dangerous, crazy, insane, loopy, vapid, and overpowered (Heroes, Greatest American Hero, Superman, Knight Rider, Star Trek) tribes of creatures (Trekkies, Slayers, Whovians, Housewives) with varied levels of technology who, as often as not, are bent on destroying themselves, the world around them, or both
I still don’t have the slighest clue what this article is about. Why is it written as some sort of in-joke?
I thought vegans were a type of vegetarian.
Is this article about a TV show or not?
