Hey everybody, since nobody has mentioned this yet, you should watch the 3-minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_eY7R7Hjgs
Thanks!

Hopefully everybody "got" my joke, since I was making fun of:

Yeah, I figured I'd extend it. :P

That was a good one, though :)

Lmfao.  You're a weirdo.

Either way, lmfao @ this video.  This is by far the dumbest thing I have ever seen.  Lol @ those who believe this is true!
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Exaggerate much? :P

I watched the entire documentary and don't see why everyone here is quick to label it as fraudulent. Aside from the orgin of the videotape, everything matched up with what Victor had said. One of the most interesting points made in the video, I thought, was when they mentioned the alien being behind the glass - that's not something your normal hoaxster would have thought of.

I think it looks really fake.  That's why I'm so quick to dismiss it as a hoax.  I think the only opinions that mattered much (the others had points which were obvious, presumptive, hopeful or relatively irrelevant) were the ones of the special effect artists, one of which said he was willing to stake his entire reputation when saying it was a fake (not to mention that guy was the one who did special effects for Babylon 5, officially making him a badass).

What Ender brought up is what I was trying to get at, but didn't go into nearly enough detail.  It is enormously unlikely that an alien would bear that much similarity to a human form.  It appeared to be a bipedal; it had two eyes, a nose and a mouth.  Way too humany for me to buy.

I don't think it's totally unreasonable to believe that the human-shaped form can be shared by humans and aliens. There might be some reason that humans were forced to develop intelligence which might relate to our shape, would would explain why it would be shared by other intelligent beings. You could be right, but I don't think that's sufficient cause to doubt it :)

I considered that as well and I suppose it's worth mentioning, but I didn't feel like bringing it up. :P

I still think it's more than reasonable to use it as an argument. :P

*cries*

I'm not supposed to be the punching bag...

We have Joe for that.

I think it's really just our hands that make us "intelligent".

Not really... the persons voice, the music in the background, the fact that he said he could hardly stand watching this supposidly alien being looked at by the doctors, the fact that they said a telepath was there talking with the alien.  It was all just stupid and far-fetched.  I don't believe it at all and the whole thing was just stupid.  It seriously was one of the dumbest, if not the dumbest, thing I have ever seen.  But then again, I tend to avoid things that I feel are going to be stupid.

You're a terribly sheltered boy, then. :(

I'm not though. :P  Just because I don't like wasting my time on stupid-not-even-funny things doesn't mean I am sheltered.
