Once upon a time in a small village left of
the Potomac River (in Russia mind you), there
lived a small band of Radio Astronomers. They had
lived for hundreds of years isolated from the
rest of the world. These radio astronomers looked
up at the night sky with there advanced
equipment, wondering what lay undiscovered beyond
the reaches of the atmosphere. One day, Herkavin,
the head astronomer picked up a radio signal that
seemed to indicate intelligence out in space. Oh
my, he thought and quickly faxed a copy of the
signal to his friend Vladmir in town hall. The
entire town was alerted to the news of this new
discovery. There was much partying and merriment.
All was good. In the next week, the radio
astronomers of the isolated region of Earth had
pinpointed the signal origin to be in the
vicinity of the Alpha Centauri system. Oh my,
they thought, that would mean that the signal was
not all that old! As the weeks of monitoring
progressed, the signal's origin began getting
closer to Earth. Either Alpha Centauri was moving
closer or the signal was from a mobile
transmitter and at the rate it was approaching,
the transceiver should be close to earth, as
close as the moon! At that very moment, a huge
red form took shape above the small village in
the atmosphere. The aliens have landed the local
paper said. All is at an end the people thought.
One day the ship landed and out poured a number
of odd looking green bunny rabbits. They carried
signs saying "come with us to paradise"
and such. All of the residents quickly put up
there out to lunch signs and left for this
elusive paradise with the alien rabbits. Thus all
of the mail to this small village was returned to
the sender and all was good.
The Author of this story wishes in no way to
condone the reckless abandonment of one's home
for a space bunny's offer of paradise. This was
an isolated incident and none of the events told
of ever occurred in Russia. Please be cautious
when approaching bunnies from space and their
offers of paradise. Thank you...
