First

As Earth’s internet amply demonstrates, you can communicate and not be intelligent.

What did they expect the message to say? Offer technology secrets?

Was that posted on GoCosmic?

Poor Arecibo. It saddened me. But the YouTube videos of the collapse are, for want of a better word, cool.

“Marco”

Was “What” second? (I don’t know what third was.)

Other worlds received it, but their spam filters were working…

The first transmission from an alien world, was to ask what would the cost of the new apartments be and what would earthlings accept in payment. It was a reply to a August 28, 1922, WEAF Radio station broadcast for the Queensboro Corporation, advertising a new apartment complex in Jackson Heights, Queens, near the just-completed #7 subway line. The transmission was received on Tuesday of this week, and NASA believing it to be a fake, did not respond. To bad the aliens were willing to pay a 1000 bars of Gold-Pressed Latinum for rent.

The person with the least to say is first and loudest.

I don’t get it

Not first, but I don’t mind, really.

Now it moves to last person to post.

The next reply was: "Hey! I just found the neatest place to buy Zylodian Crotchalyzers in the whole galaxy. Try them. ZC.com.^> "

I guess I’m too old. Maybe my grandson will explain it.

Well, what do you know, they aren’t smarter than us! ☺

As long as it wasn’t “ex-ter-min-ate.”

Lots of funny comments today. Have a blessed day my friends.

A few readers of GoComics used to put “first” in the comments. But, other readers “yelled” at them for doing that.

dang i should get up earlier
