Apparently, this letter was faxed to some observatory. Presumably by aliens with a fax machine. The whole story is on Slashdot, but here's the image:

Riiight... aliens. :)
Hmm does anyone here believe in aliens?
Personally i believe there has to be something else out there, with all that space we can't be the only things occupying one single planet. But in any case that fax is definitely fake.
The fax is obviously fake, at least, not sent by aliens. It's just funny. :)
Aliens.. I'm not sure about.

Yeah I do, and with the same justification. I think we're definitely the only life, or at least intelligent life, in our solar system. In other galaxies though, there has to be.

I'm not sure it'd be wise to believe they do or do not exist as there isn't really any strong evidence either way, but I think it's extremely likely. There are estimated trillions of Earth-like planets for every man, woman and child living today.
So what you're saying is that I'm an overload of many trillions of planets?

Yeah, except for the ones occupied by species who think they're overlords of your planet.
i just realized
what if we're all ants and earth is our ant hill
and the solar system is some boys back yard with the universe being a huge planet which is a member of an event bigger container
and maybe the "aliens" existed at one time but some little boy (read: god) came in with a magnifying glass and incinerated them (global warming)

On the converse, what if there are "living" being smaller than our atoms? Maybe their planets make up the sub-sub-sub-atomic particles?

I had a really really similar theory when I was high one time. Nice thinking.
