just think of what would happen should obama come clean about the government's involvement with aliens.  that's right, those little grey sexless beings we all imagine them to be.  how far off are we?  i'll be that'll be a question that'll get turned down at the FOIA desk.  

i predict that we have been contacted by alien beings, if not a conversation with, at least there was discovery of their physical presence on earth in some form.  given the fact that there are billions (billions is a thousand million.  that's 11 zeros!  but given that we have heard enough 'billion' talk lately that it's lost it's lustre.  trillion is the new billion.  what's after trillion?  that'd be something like quadrillion.  it's the one after THAT one that is a mystery.  i think i heard a zeno or xenillion somewhere years ago.  either way, it's a lot of zeros, and it still wouldn't be able to add up how many planets are in our universe.

how fast is warp speed?  would that be the speed of light x ?  i should research that on the internet and see what i come up with.  i'll bet it'll give me new illion words.
