Do you believe there are species that have mastered FTL travel?

[Savannahmann]

49. In short, yes.

Why? Because I never believe that humanity has learned all there is to know about any subject. There may be alternatives that we have not even considered.

Now, do I believe they are here? That's a different question. Is it possible that some anthropologists or similar such scientists are here studying our society and evolution? Yes. However here is where I have the problems. First, there is little doubt that it is cold in space, and clothing is the most efficient way to manage personal temperature. Yet none of the aliens who are described have discovered clothing. Second, I reject all those stories about anal probes. I mean, at some point, you have to have learned pretty much all there is about butts. You would move on to nasal probes wouldn't you? But for more than fifty years, every redneck who gets snatched always comes back with stories of anal probes.

Do I believe it is possible that life exists in the universe? Certainly. Do I think they are all buck nekkid little guys who are fascinated with butts? No. I don't know what is out there, but I find it hard to believe that is what we'll find.
