    Crap. Considering how long thoughts take for planets, this one must have been writing this text since Homo Erectus times. Can you imagine the horror, a blink and the humans are there.

    Space:1999 had an alien express something like that idea.

    ^That's where the writers probably got the idea for this article from.

    a very pretty picture of Jupiter, at any rate! =) Europe's shadow looks a bit like one of those beauty patches they used in the 1700s :D

    RIMMER: Lister, don't you ever stop and wonder: why are we here? What's the grand purpose?

    LISTER:
    Why does it have to be such a big deal? Why can't it be like, like, human beings are a planetary disease? Like the Earth's got German measles or facial herpes, right? And that's why all of the other planets give us such a wide berth. It's like, "Oh, don't go near Earth! It's got human beings on it, they're contagious!"

    RIMMER:
    So you're saying, Lister, you're an intergalactic, pus-filled cold sore! At last, Lister, we agree on something.

    Reminds me of that bit in the first Men in Black film where Agent K compares human thought to an infectious disease. I'd have thought that was a lot less ironic if it wasn't an actual human being who said that line. :sigh:
