The first transmission from an alien world, was to ask what would the cost of the new apartments be and what would earthlings accept in payment. It was a reply to a August 28, 1922, WEAF Radio station broadcast for the Queensboro Corporation, advertising a new apartment complex in Jackson Heights, Queens, near the just-completed #7 subway line. The transmission was received on Tuesday of this week, and NASA believing it to be a fake, did not respond. To bad the aliens were willing to pay a 1000 bars of Gold-Pressed Latinum for rent.

What did they expect the message to say? Offer technology secrets?

Poor Arecibo. It saddened me. But the YouTube videos of the collapse are, for want of a better word, cool.

Other worlds received it, but their spam filters were working…

A few readers of GoComics used to put “first” in the comments. But, other readers “yelled” at them for doing that.
