Really?? I though they where all in Washington.
Yes and No. (about the Tea Party, not alien beings/life)
They are in office already, but mostly in DC. who is crazy enough to take them.
They are called the Republican Party!
Got a tip for us?

Here's a column bar graph showing the votes so far. (I slaved and slaved to create the graph. ... OK, yeah, you caught me, it's a sideways screen capture.)
More than a third think there's at least a chance of aliens on earth. Only a quarter are sure it's not the case.

I should do that same thing for my income/education survey, though most of my responses I got were from friends and other websites. I like the look of the chart and it really gives a better picture...very modded histogram-ish or at least Tufteian.
I think part of that 11% percent probably don't think the aliens live here per se, but are maybe ones who visited and flew by (UF0s). I can't envision a Men in Black scenario where there are aliens hanging out and holding down jobs in Manhattan. One can argue if they are smart enough to travel those extreme distances in space, they can certainly put on a disguise and fool us.
Are we going going to have to neuralize you again Q?
Seriously though, I would imagine if there was intelligent life capable of visiting us, they would have many ethical questions of their own as to whether or not it was right to interfere with us, either for fear of tainting, artificially augmenting us and stealing our own creative will or a myriad of other reasons.

I get a new treatment every Saturday. I guess it's worn off since last weekend.
We learned that on Star Trek, except we were the visitors.
I wonder if patent law prevents aliens from copying our primitive technology. They might have mastered intergalactic travel but they probably don't have iPads.
Well, modesty forbids...
Seriously, all the talk about the odds of life arising elsewhere in the universe, of such life building a technological civilization, of such a civilization being able to reach Earth, etc. etc. is all very compelling...
...but, to paraphrase General Patton, no statistic ever survived its first encounter with the real world.
Never be too certain of anything.

One does not wish to bias your Earth polls. Continue behaving in a normal fashion.
for this key reason, we will know in the next 3.2 million years if there are aliens. they cant resist the Jobs.
This thursday might be the day that Nasa is going to reveal extraterrestrial life:

If NASA doesn't announce that they've discovered 100% proof of alien life, and in fact have an alien with them at the press conference, then it's obviously a massive coverup!
Have you been to Wal-Mart? I think they all shop there. Besides after the debacle here on earth , "insert name of your god/creator" had to attempt a new start somewhere else right?

Well, Duh!
Of course there are!
This is CHICAGO! We've got aliens up to our ears.
Oh, wait. You meant the space alien kind?
Yes to that too. I think I work for some. Or possibly I might be one. It's definitely one or the other because we're certainly from different planets.
Have Fun,
Happy Wendsday!

You're right! I found a photo of an alien that I spotted in Chicago.Well, Duh!

Oh, that's Phred. Really charming one you get to know him. Don't worry about the eyes (all Ursal-Minotaurs are like that) and watch your step in the late afternoon as the MIB have been running low on large enough poopie bags.
Careful about taking pictures though... I hear he's got friends in the Post Office.
Have Fun,
Agent Keri
They're here already!
I'm late to the debate but I have seen the evidence:
