UN 'to appoint space ambassador to greet alien visitors' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Swemon;25067094]Sounds useful. Aliens: "Take me to your leader" *Takes the aliens to this ambassador* Aliens: "This is not your leader" *Intergalactic war*[/QUOTE] Silly Americans, you aren't the leader, :tf:

What about Richard Dawkins? Would he be a viable candidate?

how exactly would you communicate, they wouldn't speak any of our known languages

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;25078579]Alien: Take us to your leader! Putin: You're looking at him. :clint: [IMG]http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/assets/library/080620people_putin--121394861977409600.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] He'd just kill them all, and then eat their corpses just to prove how manly he is. Then when they'd try to laser us he'd eat the lasers too. Hmm, maybe not such a bad idea after all.

guys GUYS we should appoint someone EXPENDABLE, he'll be the first to die if diplomacy fucks up not Morgan Freeman

[img]http://www.teamteabag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/duke_nukem_004.jpg[/img] [editline]12:54PM[/editline] For space ambassador.

I would nominate Carl Sagan but he's dead :sigh:

[QUOTE=Armotekma;25085037]how exactly would you communicate, they wouldn't speak any of our known languages[/QUOTE] They'll understand basic maths like pythagoras, they just won't use the same digits, but the principle is the same, stuff like that, the speed of light in a vacuum and the theory of relativity will all be universal to intelligent life. They'll understand that sort of stuff so we can use math to communicate until we learn their languages. Fuck it might be impossible for us to communicate with them at all without the use of machines, they could fucking talk by clicking pincers at each other or using complex chemical compounds.

[QUOTE=ironman17;25084783]What about Richard Dawkins? Would he be a viable candidate?[/QUOTE] What if they're hyper-religious aliens?

If Michael Shanks wasn't an actor he'd be great.

pick me ill show them a good time

Michael Vick for Ambassador [IMG]http://www.thesuperficial.com/2007/08/michael-vick-jail.jpg[/IMG] [B]Can i see your space dogs?[/B]

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25075262]"Mazlan Othman" At least we picked someone with a name that other species will have trouble pronouncing. Gives us intergalactic credibility.[/QUOTE] That's probably "Fuck you" in the first race we come across' language.

Who makes those charts and where do I get more of them?

Is there a "crazy military general who just wants to fuck them up, and destroy them off the planet" guy?

Yeah they call him the pope

I hope the Ambassador's an atheist

[QUOTE=nunu;25069707]I'm sorry but... [img]http://communicatescience.com/zoonomian/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/stephen_fry.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] If I were an alien and someone presented that to me as their ambassador I would blow up their fucking sun.

I nominate Lawrence Krauss

Morgan Freeman suits this pretty well.

Imo the person who represents our race must be a perfect-looking person, not a goofy old woman. But the real question is why the fuck are they electing a space ambassador.

[QUOTE=Loen;25102344]*picture*[/QUOTE] Call me crazy, but I take that shit seriously. I genuinely try to remember those points.

I would appoint Captain Kirk, but he'd probably fuck them.

Always could use David Hassolhoff. or how ever you spell his last name.

sorry for the bump, but this is INSANELY ironic considering the events over the last 2 weeks
