Just wait, the next interstellar object will be named BenCartwright2021. 
Day by day, work or play, ready side by side.
Hello friend, come on in, the gate is open wide.
“Rock” is kind of ambiguous. Do you know what the Earth’s most abundant element is?
Bad idea: the aliens won’t appreciate the humor in Proby McProbeface.
Yes, but they only take issue with the name due to the anatomical error. Now, Proby McProbebutt, on the other hand…
You rang?
Is stupidity an element? Or just an elemental force?
As someone considered much brighter than I is rumored to have said

No, it is obviously a gauge field force, mediated by gauge bosons which are commonly referred to as “morons”.
Their brakes need work.
And what specifically have you learned?
if it that what you considered to be evidence for your supposition actually wasn’t, then o.k…
If it was that your supposition didn’t take hold here and now, so you should maybe try again elsewhere/elsewhen, then…not so much.
Never mind.
You are making assumptions that are without evidence, which make them less valuable than those assumptions that are evidenced.
The Harvard astronomer is Avi Leob.
His upcoming book is Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth.
He does not actually assert that ʻOumuamua is artificial. He just says that there is not enough evidence to rule it out.
The really strange aspect of the thing is its movement. As it got closer to the Sun, it seemed to experience a mysterious force, which accelerated it away from the Sun. They found no evidence of gas in its vicinity, so they do not believe that comet outgassing is responsible. The hypothesis is that it is due to solar radiation (a light sail). This fits the data on its trajectory, but requires it to be much less massive than the original estimate. One explanation is that it is solid, but hollow (which gives people hope that it could be artificial). Another explanation is that it is made of stuff with a very low density (in one astronomer’s words, “a cosmic dust-bunny”). Sadly, I am inclined to favor the second explanation.
I hadn’t seen anything that positively ruled out outgassing; do you have a source for that?
So, it was a Pakled probe.
Just a TV interview with Dr. Loeb. He didn’t give any details.
Would you stop here?
They’ve come to chat with the whales.
I have a little dustball in the corner of my office that keeps avoiding the Roomba. I’m not saying that it’s sentient, but until I figure out a way of communicating with it, I’m not ruling it out. 
You must kill it immediately! Otherwise, its offspring will inherit the Roomba-avoidance gene and suddenly we’ll be overrun with a new breed of super dust-bunnies and it’ll be the end of civilization as we know it.
Wanders off to buy stock in Swiffer…
