Rover: Whatcha thinking about? Red: If there are any other life forms out there. Rover: Like hideously slimy, green, ten-eyed martian invaders?! Red: Yeah, those too. Somethings crawling on my neck. Get it off! Get it off!! Rover: Hold still... It's only a daddy longlegs. Go ahead- try to take over earth. We've got daddy longlegs!!
“No-one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes; and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us.” (But we had the daddy-long-legs BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!)
