You know how sometimes people worry about aliens attacking Earth, to try to conquer us? Thus, 'War of the Worlds'. They really have nothing to worry about. The ETs will have to be pretty stupid to want to conquer us.

Let's imagine a little scene of aliens landing on Earth, in their UFOs, if you believe in UFOs. 'Plop'! They land and disembark. One, little green alien, with thingys on his head (let's call him alien 1), looks around and spots a human, eyes bulging, and whose mouth has dropped open faster than your heart when your examination results are announced.

Alien 1 leans over to Alien 2 (who looks exactly the same as alien 1) 'My, they are ugly, aren't they?' it murmmers.

A woman proceeds to wander across our heros and the shell shocked human. Shrieking, she drops a picnic basket that she is holding in her hands, and faints clean away.

Alien 1 and Alien 2 look at each other. 'Ehh,' Alien 1 whispers to Alien 2. 'Do they look alike to you?'

Alien 2 looks from the man to the woman lying on the ground, and once more to the man (whose mouth is still wide open). He shakes his head. 'They're noisy too,' he whispers back.

Alien 1 steps forward, towards the man, who is slowly recovering. 'You live here? On Earth? There's life on Earth? Exactly how many are they of you?'

The man blinks. Nods. Nods again. And nods once more. 'Billions,' he stutters.

Alien 1 turns back to his counterpart. 'Billions! Wait till they hear this home on Mars! They won't believe it!'

He turns back. 'So what exaactly do you do all day?'

'Work, study, work.' Comes the blatant reply.

Alien 1 turns back distasefully. 'Oh. Well, thanks for your time.' Alien 1 and 2 board the UFO.

As they're flying out of Earth's orbit, Alien 2 turns to Alien 1. 'So, not a potential planet on the planets-to-attack list?'

Alien 1 ponders this. 'No,' he says finally. 'They're too boring.'

'And besides,' he adds, as they head on home, 'they only have one moon.'
