    If they've been peacefully existing up there for millenia, they're not going to be happy at us turning up and sampling them.

    They'll end up as bi-polar bears. :emoticon-0111-blush

    Ooh, is that my coat?

    They're going to announce that Mars has agreed to take half a million ignorant Britain First supporters freeing up space for Britain to accept half a million humans who are more deserving of a safe haven & protection.

    Well played! Just laughed out really loud at that.

    Wife glared. Said what's so funny about footy talking bollocks?

    I said "Uranus" and laughed again.

    She just tutted and is now ignoring me.

    I know, sorry I should've said "more water". The point was it'll be something unspectacular to the general public.

    Oh. You were being serious. Ahem. Sorry. Boot out Britain First. But not on Mars, somewhere more fitting. The surface of the Sun for example.

    The opening part of the NASA press conference has been leaked to the media.

    No one could have dreamed 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.


    Worrying.

    Mice are merely the protrusion into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who, unbeknownst to the human race, are the most intelligent species on the planet Earth. They spent a lot of their time in laboratories running complex experiments on humans. They paid Magrathea for the planet and will now collaborate to create a new one due to the interruption of Vogons,

    At the outset, they were so fed up with the constant bickering about the meaning of life which used to interrupt their favorite game, Brockian Ultra Cricket, that they decided to sit down and solve their problems once and for all.

    They were the creators of Deep Thought, a stupendous super computer the size of a small city, to tell them theAnswer to Life, The Universe and Everything. When seven and a half million years later it was realized they didn't know the question to the answer they'd been given, a second computer, of such infinite and subtle complexity that life itself would form part of its operational matrix, was created to work out the Ultimate Question. That computer was known as the Earth.

    Some notable mice in the series are Frankie and Benjy

    Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!
