Aug 2013

saw one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, "To Serve Man". Space aliens show up and offer to teach humans how to make the Earth another Garden of Eden, following the directions of their sacred text, though they never fully translate it. Soon war's disappeared and all hunger abolished. Then the aliens offer free trips to their home planet to teach humans the nuts and bolts of the method, and people line up in droves. Even the story's main human character gets in line. At the last minute his girlfriend rushes up to the gangplank screaming for him to get off. "We've finally cracked the code of To Serve Man! It's a cookbook!"
