Damn, that guy stole my idea. Well not really, I haven't shared it publicly before. Ever since I was a kid I thought that it was wrong to think that the human imagination is "limitless". I believed that our imagination is only based on our knowledge and the things that surround us (our world) And as an example and to prove my "theory" I asked people to imagine an alien that did not have ANY traits from creatures from our planet. No one could.
