Wow, that never occurred to me. It does kinda fit, especially with thermometer=anal probe link **elfkin477** mentioned.

This theory bears some thought, IMO.

Maybe so, but it should be pointed out that Strieber described a probe that seemed to have some kind of charge in it, only to find out later that there is a device in existence that… umm… not to get TMI here but puts an electric charge in there, stimulating the prostate and causing ejaculation thereby supporting the theory that the ETs are interested in human reproduction.

Not saying that this is the _correct_ theory, but we should look at all the evidence. :eek:
