Aliens just landed and want to speak with a representative of our species. Who do you nominate?

[NightWatcher]

I think I know who we should send but I'll withhold my answer. I'll bet that one of the first five responses will pick them too.

[bigmonkey]

1. Yeah, Obama is a good choice.

Trump - really not so good.

[trof]

2. this

[NightWatcher]

3. Not the choice I originally thought of but he's very diplomatic

[pinboy3niner]

4. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. nt

[NightWatcher]

5. Boom like that

If anyone could communicate and then relate it back to us, I'd pick him.

[pinboy3niner]

23. And for second choice...

Experience counts!

[logosoco]

8. That was my thought!!!nt

[LeftishBrit]

6. I'd send two to represent the best of age and youth

Desmond Tutu and Malala Yasoufzai

[LeftishBrit]

7. Or from a less political perspective - but someone known for his ability to undersand many species

David Attenborough

[Ken Burch]

9. I'd want Morgan Freeman involved somehow.

After all, the aliens are going to want to hear a reassuring voice.

[Stuart G]

10. How about..Michael Rennie ...from..The Day the Earth Stood Still...1951

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still

It is about this issue..An alien lands to warn the earth about using powerful weapons of mass destruction.

11. I'd nominate Bob Dylan but he probably wouldn't go.....

[yuiyoshida]

12. EASY PEASY ...Linguistics professor Louise Banks

[petronius]

13. Anthony Bourdain. Seriously, they're probably going to offer refreshments

and we need someone who won't create a galactic incident by gagging or spitting or doing something otherwise offensive...

[pinboy3niner]

15. Anthony...it's a COOKBOOK!!!

[Brother Buzz]

14. Bobcat Goldthwait

After a short interaction, I suspect the aliens just may take a pass on earth

[UTUSN]

16. Why are all the noms *positive*?!1 Are the aliens presumed to be *nice*? Give'em DRUMPF!1

They'll go home and say, "You're not going to *BELIEVE* what we found!1 We need to avoid that Earth forever!1"

[pinboy3niner]

19. ...

[UTUSN]

27. We're such a team, u & me, or as some would say, that's why we lost Vietnam

[pinboy3niner]

28. Speak for yourself...we were winning when I left. :)

[UTUSN]

29. Can't we just get along?!1

[pinboy3niner]

32. Ha!

Love that movie!

[Kennah]

17. Gary King!

[Wolf Frankula]

18. The Doctor

All of them.

Wolf

[lindysalsagal]

20. Duh. Patrick Stewart. No doubt the aliens have seen Trek.

That's who they'll be looking for!

[OxQQme]

21. Ellen Degeneres

or Jon Stewart

[First Speaker]

22. Stephen Hawking

[Coventina]

24. Justin Timberlake

No one is immune to the charm of JT.

[True Dough]

25. I would send

Trump, Pence, Sessions, Hannity and Llimbaugh. Then I would persuade the aliens to take them to their planet for study, never to be returned.

It would undoubtedly sour relations with the aliens, but for the good of our species, it has to be done!

[lapucelle]

26. If they're evil aliens, a brief chat with

Kellyanne Conway guarantees that they never come back.
If they're uber-evil, send Katrina Pierson.

[Laffy Kat]

30. I don't know, but please let's keep Samuel L. Jackson out of it.

Love him, but, you know..

[mackerel]

31. I nominate Pinboy3niner...I'm sensing these Aliens need a good laugh

[pinboy3niner]

33. And get probed again? No, thanks!

Believe me, I learned my lesson after the second time!

[zanana1]

40. HAH! nt

[demmiblue]

34. Betty White or George Takei. No, both.

[WinkyDink]

35. A random peasant.

[patricia92243]

36. Jimmy Carter n/t

[tblue37]

37. Jimmy Carter. (Patricia, I posted without reading any other posts!) nt

[Major Nikon]

38. Robin Williams or David Bowie would have been the obvious choices

Failing that I'd have to say Tom Cruise and Charlie Sheen would have to be high on the list.

[zanana1]

39. Noam Chomsky

The aliens would have to be a higher life form,however, or they wouldn't be able to understand him.

[Donkees]

41. Thich Nhat Hanh

"The universe is elegant. And there is a harmony in it. We see that the Earth is beautiful, that the beings in it are beautiful. In the Avatamsaka Sutra, the Buddha described the universe to be like one single flower. The cosmos is like a bank of flowers. We we see the planet as a beautiful flower, and each of us is also a beautiful flower. No matter what age we are we are very beautiful. That is the insight of the Buddha in the Avatamsaka sutra. The cosmos is a kind of treasure. Each being on the planet is a flower."
