It seems that NASA is going to beam The Beatles "Across the Universe" using it's Deep Space Network of antennas directly at the north star.

...

But the real question is, if the aliens record it, will the RIAA go after them?

If anything was going to cause the invasion and extermination of humanity, it's this. I know I'd frigging well want to if I got The Beatles transmitted to me.

Nah, aliens hate the Irish too.  They'd welcome it with open tentacles.

*decides randomly that all Beatles songs have subliminal messages telling Wales to invade Ireland...* 

Now to put that in a blog and start yet another conspiracy theory!

The last time the Welsh got involved with Ireland, we all became Christian as a trade-off for getting rid of snakes.

... was it worth it?

[rabid_fox]

Totally. I hate snakes.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Mmm. I'd say it was a fifty-fifty choice. You'd probably be better off with the snakes than the christians. At least the snakes only bite you when you poke them with a stick...

Dude, I'm Catholic.

damn, son

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Dude, I'm Catholic.

So are my parents. What's your point?

[Alondro]

Catholics... almost as bad as dem Islams.

Thanks goodness I've seen the light and converted to Scientology!

We all praise the Leader! 

[Azlan]

Don't forget the elder gods heathen!

[Paul]

Choose the Church of the SubGenius! Because the world ends tomorrow and you may die!

[Alondro]

The Leader is good, the Leader is great! 

We surrender our will, as of this date!
