So do the aliens like hitting the slopes with other people's equipment or something? I'm just wondering why I should keep watching my skis... ;)

I'm still trying to figure out what this has to do with snow!
I can't believe I have to (

Yes, we are alone, after our sun is extinguished & our race is devastated
there will be no more laughter in the vastness of space.

Sounds like the place had shitty wiring to me.
Shitty wiring doesn't make electronic equipment turn on by itself, especially when I'm using a good surge protector.
I'm convinced there's a rational explanation, but I have yet to find it.

You know, it's kinda like ghosts with me. I mean, it's one of several places where Science trips over itself and shorts out for a second
It most certainly does not.

I'm a ghost.
Ask anyone who's seen my ass.

You had your LAN card set to power on when it got input from the network? Happened to me.
I wish aliens were real. It would make this crappy universe seem so much more exciting. Statistically there must be other life out there somewhere, and similarly there must be intelligent life out there. Unfortunately statistically its probably an infinite distance from us. Shame. Do you think they have internets and forum trolls? I bet they do.

Yeah, I realised this morning that I never explained that one...
Thing is, as a Scientist by Inclination, Philosophy, and Training, I believe and know and feel and am absolutely one hundred percent unfuckingshakably in my goddamn bones certain that -- all things being what they are --
I know nothing about the universe... The core of my entire intelligence is made of statements like "probability means never having to say never" and "unless your dataset is infinite, all you have is a guess" and "deductive reasoning seems to have worked well in the past, let's just assume it'll work this time" etc etc etc, and I know that I have to accept the possibility that ghosts are real.
As a capital S Scientist, in my bones and my hair and my love juices, I have to believe in ghosts. And monsters. And aliens. And I LOVE IT :D
SCIENCE! THE OPENEST MINDS FOREVER!
ps also as a Scientist I must poo-poo all this irrational and superstitious mumbo-jumbo lol
being sciencey is confusing :D

Now our incredible flotilla has become a FLEET. Between the Terror of the Skis, the USS Sir Ender, the "Deth Ship" v 1.0, and Turtle's skully-ninja-zeppelin thing WHICH HE HAS NOT NAMED :mad: :mad: we've got quite a formidable thing going on.
UFOS LOOK THE FUCK OUT
I am deeply saddened to report the loss of our flagship the Terror of the Skis which disappeared from the intarwebs at an unspecified date. Apparently a silicato-nubulus ate it somewhere above Egypt. :(

I'd rather watch the snowboards than the skis.
