If there are aliens travelling across a space for that long they are going to be desperate to talk to someone. It might be difficult to get them to shut up.

Imagine their kids: 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we........'

I'm thinking aliens trillions of miles big would probably not be concerned with tiny-little-spec-of-dust humans. They'd probably be more interested in trying out our tasty bitesize galaxy. (mmmmm.....milky way )

In that case then I hope they have a quick digestive system.

What I find philosphically puzzling is the sheer lumpiness of the universe. Why has it turned out so uneven?

The universe has cellulite. Therefore in cellulite is supposed to be around and should be beautiful.

And thats what I was trying to say all along.

So you are saying that the gap is what happens when the universe has liposuchtion?

Anybody remember the arguments about dark matter and how nobody could measure it etc? Anybody want to bet this is just a lump of that, like a clog in the plughole of the universe (mayby its Gods pubic hair, that always gets stuck in plugholes).

Maybe God was bad at budgetting and simply ran out of materials.

Tsk, tsk, can't do that bit of the Universe. It's a Sunday.

He got bored and found something else to distract him... Humanity perhaps?

Finally - somewhere that even Bush wouldn't think of invading...

It is only a matter of time...

I can see it now: "You are entering Bushspace! Please leave all rights in the wormhole to your left!"
