We Sent the Aliens the Wrong Star Map!

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on September 3, 2006 at 12:12 am


Ever wonder why we haven’t been visited by aliens yet? Or, for those who said that we have been visited by alians, then: Ever wonder why not even more aliens come to visit?

I blame pluto: turned out we sent the wrong map for our alien overlords friends! The Pioneer plaque [wiki], which was put on board the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11 showed 9 planets! No wonder they can’t find us!

    I think it’s the ugly drawing of the people. Even I wouldn’t want to visit those two people with the improperly drawn genitals and all.

    That’s a pretty pointless observtion.

    The fact that pluto isn’t counted anymore doesn’t change the fact that we’re still the third planet from the sun; the map is still correct.

    Plus how do you know that the aliens don’t have a different classification system than we do meaning that the map is correct to them.

    Ah - that’s actually it Bob. The aliens would say “let’s look for a star with 9 planets, then go to the third planet”. It’s the wrong map!

    I was actually wondering the same thing.

    The good news is that when the Psychlos come to enslave us man-animals and steal our gold they’ll never find us.

    A bigger problem with the picture of our solar system is that shows only Saturn as having rings. In fact, all of the giant planets in our solar system have rings: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
