United Nations appoint space ambassador as first contact for aliens visiting Earth

If aliens ever land on Earth there will no longer be any confusion over who will greet them with the news the United Nations is set to appoint an astrophysicist to be their first human contact.

Mazlan Othman is expected to be tasked with coordinating humanity's response to an extraterrestrial visit, if ever required.

The 58-year-old Malaysian will tell a conference next week that with the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting around other stars, the detection of alien life is becoming more and more likely.

1. I would have picked Bill "The Spaceman" Lee.

:shrug:

[dark forest]

2. I wonder what that pays??

Easy work, if you can get it. LOL!!!

[JoeyTrib]

3. No way!

And they should appoint Eva Mendez.
:patriot:

4. Ms. Othman! Don't get on that ship! The rest of the book, To Serve Man, it's...

... it's a cookbook!

[Subdivisions]

5. I hear the Pope said he would baptise the aliens too, if they want to be. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. The announcement that we are not alone is coming

UFO's they might be happening, and if they are... well then... if they can cross interstellar space good luck fighting them back.

[IDemo]

7. Pretty anthropocentric assumption by the UN

They may only come here to visit the coral, if at all.

[leftstreet]

10. They're heeeeeere...............

[Historic NY]

8. That live long & prosper thing can get boring w/o guests.

[leveymg]

9. My vote for that job goes to Jody Foster. Sorry, Ms. Othman.

You may know more astrophysics, but, Ms. Foster makes the right first impression.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Indeed

She'd be an excellent ambassador for Earth. Not like that "David Drumlin" character. He was a dweeb.

[pinboy3niner]

12. We'd probably have to fatten her up...

Wouldn't want to serve a stringy entree at our first alien Thanksgiving... :evilgrin:

[leveymg]

15. "To serve Man" - Here's the Official Mission Patch

[pinboy3niner]

16. LOL!

Our new Ambassador probably didn't see her new patch before she agreed to be served, er, I mean, to serve. :rofl:

[leveymg]

17. Just in case you were wondering about that moto on 509th Ensignia - "Tastes Like Chicken" -

The 509th Wing dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and were home based in er . . . Roswell, er, New Mexico.

More here on that: http://www.ufoinfo.com/news/balthaser0402.shtml

[pinboy3niner]

18. Interesting--thanks

Looks like someone in the unit probably created the design and had actual patches made as a joke--good job, too!

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Like gag patches are never, ever made, ever

:hi:

[pinboy3niner]

22. No, that would NEVER, EVER happen

Or straight patches for subordinate units not authorized their own insignia/patches. I have one or two from Infantry companies in VN.

Welcome back, Nadin. Hope you enjoyed your vacation to...Gliesse-12, wasn't it? :)

:hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. You caught me

the locals though, ugh... no damn privacy. They can read every thought you have, conscious or not!

:-)

PS I got a few non authorized pins as well.

[cliffordu]

27. LOL. We are kinda like grazing herds of really stupid vertebrates.

[leveymg]

13. Not the first time she's played a perfect diplomat.

Don't be so harsh about Drumlin. Tom Skerritt's not a bad choice, if you can't get Peter Coyote or François Truffaut to lead the mission.

[pampango]

28. My alternative: Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He won't coddle those aliens like Ms. Foster or Ms. Othman

would do. He'll check them for papers (without profiling based on planet-of-origin, of course), hold a press conference condemning Obama for not securing our intergalactic border, and send those aliens without documents back where they came from. :)

[inna]

14. omg, is this for real?? (i love it.)

:)

[Luciferous]

19. Awesome :)

[Desertrose]

21. Disclosure...its almost here.

:)

[grantcart]

24. Someone tell Ambassador Othman that Cliffordu is currently in Portland Oregon

and is prepared to offer his intergalactic credentials at any time that is convenient.

There is a 28% chance that he will be seen 'dancing naked' as an intergalactic aphrodisiac in the near future.

[cliffordu]

26. I have intergalactic condoms for sale.

If you want to fuck the whole galaxy.....

Think big, good buddy, think real big....

[Rex]

25. God will collapse the universe before he allows any of us to see alien life.

Series.

[astral]

29. we assume they will be able to communicate with us

or want to? after they have seen what we have done to the earth? I believe we may possibly be 100% at their mercy.

[Zanzobar]

30. First "official UN contact" maybe
