Didn’t something really close to this make the rounds a couple years ago? I think it was more along the lines of “on <date> think a positive thought some nondescript alien entity will be emanating a love field that will make positive thoughts come true.” I swore I saw it on Snopes a long time ago but I can’t find it, it read really similar to this. Oh well, everyone remember to bring condoms to work/class today, you want to be safe in case they make the love field too strong.
I for one, welcome our giant vibrator overlords.
Apparently they will be in London tonight. http://www.swapmyticket.co.uk/news/item.asp?id=870
I did see a UFO today during my lunch break!!
I had just gotten my oil changed and was driving back to work when I saw it. There up in the sky and to my left was a rectangular spacecraft almost transparent in appearance. I’d say it was about 10 meters long and it was going at tremendous speed as it was keeping steady pace with my vehicle. Apparently the aliens also have the technology to make their ships hoover because every time I stopped at a light the ship stopped also. I honked my horn to alert other cars around me and pointed to the sky but no one seemed to be seeing it.
It was at this time I realized the aliens were following me and making themselves appear only to me.
I tried swerving and taking several random corners but the UFO stayed right with me. I finally gave up and put my car in park. The ship just hoovered.
I looked more closely and from what I could see there appeared to be strange numbers on the ship closely resembling our number system. 9…5,…3…7…6.
There was also a red strip running along the side of it with odd lettering.
j…i…f…f…y…l…u
(nevermind)
I didn’t see the alien spaceship, but I’m going to move to a higher vibration of love anyway to be on the safe side.
Be sure to lubricate first.
No - it’s not coincidence because that happens every time you perform that piece of mathematics upon that sequence of numbers. Coincidence? No. Meaningful? Fuck knows.
Ah well no sight nor sound of our alien benefactors.
It’s back to the drawing board Ms Blossom Goodchild.
Anyway, with a moniker like that who the hell is gonna take you serious?
It’s because they are in the water:
I’ll add this to my collection of ‘World’s gonna end!’ predictions then
…
and recycle them all on my compost heap. 
I’ve seen such a craft myself. It’s obvious that these aliens have a completely different perception of time, perhaps that’s what allows them to span astronomical distances in what seems to us such a short time.
They usually return about every 2 - 3 months (sometimes a little longer) and I wouldn’t be suprised if, next time you see one hovering over you, the numbers look more like 9…8…4…7…5.
YMMV
For what it’s worth, the last time I saw one the numbers on the side said 2…8…6…4…3…3.
Yes… I do like to brag about it… thank you very much.
Also if you use the date in UK notation 14-10-2008, the answer comes out at -2004.
Perhaps I’m a bit slow, or it’s that transatlantic barrier again, but could someone please explain those numbers?
Odometer readings (in miles).
Where are the aliens? Did I miss anything??
Oh they’ve been, had a Pizza, and buggered off.
They’ll be back for some KFC around January
Wow, do American cars have HUDs?
No, not commonly at least.
When we get an oil change (especially at one of the 10-Minute oil change places) the service guy puts a sticker on the inside upper left hand corner of the windshield showing the mileage / month that the next oil change is due, sometimes with the oil grade listed on the sticker and sometimes not.
Hampshire was refering to this sticker as his punchline.
Usually I won’t pay much attention to the mileage or month on the sticker. When the ink fades out and becomes unreadable I know it’s time for an oil change. Like a pop up timer on a turkey.
Thanks, all becomes clear now. This isn’t common practice in the UK, so apologies for my lack of understanding.
