1. Endless possiblities
for hilarity. Maybe it will play the trumpet, or vaccuum or dance. A dog would be cute, too. It could fetch moon rocks.

8. Hmmm... with their endless fascination with alien tentacle porn...
... I figured they had a better space program.

I guess I need to start looking for other places than porno sites to find out about other cultures.
