(I got this online. Don’t even care if it’s true.)

On July 8, 1947, witnesses claim a spaceship with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep-and-cattle ranch outside Roswell, NM. An incident that is said to have been covered up by the military.

Then on March 31, 1948, exactly thirty-eight weeks and one day later–or just about nine months–Albert Gore Jr. was born.

That should clear up a whole lot of things.

Yes, I am an egomaniac; why do you ask?  
…You didn’t ask?  
Ah, but I knew you were dying to!  
…You weren’t?

Well, it all makes much more sense once you know the numerical significance of 38.

Especially when combined with the number 1, it’s very spooky.

Now if you’ll all excuse me I have to go put on my special hat, but one last word of warning-if you see any cats following you around, don’t hesitate to shoot them. A shotgun works best, but a 9mm will work as well, just make sure that both ears are separate from the head.

38 weeks is a normal gestation for a human foetus. OK?
