Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 29, 2010

I look just like the guy on the plaque. And my girlfriend looks just like the chick….and she plays base on one of the songs….

We’re probably so primitive we’re not worth bothering with. At least that’s what I hope.

Those voyagers (1and 2) are still out there sending back signals. Can you say Oort cloud?

They’ll unfriend us in a heartbeat.

Message in a bottle, tossed upon the seas. Let’s hope it brings back some good news someday!

Uh, didn’t the R.U. Sirius have problems a little while ago with the Pioneer probes? (Rhetorical question…)

It’s the Pioneers that had drawings of naked humans on their plaques. The covers of the Voyager records had a different set of graphics, mostly.

And I think someone beat you to the punch, jukeofurl. Try doing a Web search on that term. These come up quickly:

And that’s my stash of unnecessary detail for the night…:)

Earth is just a big Farmville meets Mafia Wars.

Isn’t that like throwing a speck of sawdust into the ocean with your name and address on it and then sitting around waiting for someone to call?

BTW is the rest of the crew on vacation .. we seem to only see brewster and Agent X these days .. maybe Winky is having a new spleen put in.. or is he still on duty as the Moon?

In the early 1970s, there was a Parker Brothers toy called Oobi. It was basically a plastic clam that you put a message into and an address on, and then left in a public place for someone else to carry along to its destination. It was quickly discontinued because parents didn’t want strangers knocking on their door, asking to see their children.

A few years later we sent out the Voyagers and Pioneers, and now we have Facebook. Wow.

Hey, Varnes, that’s “bass” (unless she’s in a baseball team). Check http://www.gocomics.com/thebarn for today - JP Steve did the same.

And we put our address on those plaques… so many lightyears from various stars with their signatures… yet we hesitate to let our kids put their addresses on the net! IF aliens ever come knocking, it will be our great-great-great-great-grandchildren whose addresses we’ve broadcast. Or rather, let the liberal scientist idiots broadcast

They already know where we are. Our radio and TV signals have been travelling at lightspeed for some eighty years.

Some day we’re going to be charged with disturbing the peace.
