Nah, it was probably a star leftover from the previous big bang... or the one before that.

Exactly.
I love it when people actually think they know when the big bang happened - like they were there when it happened.

They might have been. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trump stated any minute now that it was actually he who pressed the button... That would explain his hairdo at least... 
Oh, it's good to be back in (American) politics!

Sort of like people who measure the speed of a steel ball hitting the ground and claim that they not only can tell from which heigth the ball was dropped, but also when it was dropped, even if they were not there at the time to watch it being dropped.

Using math to roll back the expansion of the universe to the point where it must have been a singularity, does give you a method to calculate with fair accuracy its age.

In other words, the signal was sent at the time dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Entire civilizations have plenty of time to appear, evolve and disappear during that time.
I nope nobody's waiting for a response.

The signal was sent 95 years ago - It's 95 light years away.

I roll tax-collectors in with ants and cockroaches - they have been around for a very long time, and it looks like they will continue to prosper.

Let's hope they don't come here and ask to see our leaders. Won't they be disapointed.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

But if they come to abduct our leaders, won't that be a delight?

You're an optimist! I like the way you think!

Sorry if I sounded desperate, but do have a look at the top two candidates our American friends have chosen to be competing for presidency. They have chosen these two from the *millions* of people they have. 
I think only an alien abduction could help. Now, how would the aliens deal with the duo? That's their problem.

Nope. We have chosen these 2 out of about 20 possibilities.

The 20 were off the millions and the 2 were picked off the 20 odd, but great job nitpicking, and missing the humour and point completely!

Clearly. But we didn't choose those 20 just like you don't chose out of your millions who will run.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: but great job nitpicking, and missing the humour and point completely!
I did a great job doing that. It wasn't funny at all. I did totally miss any humor that was there.
I see people use this same ridiculous statement over and over so you just happened to be the one I finally responded to. There are many people more qualified to be President but did not chose to run. This nonsense that "these are the best 2 they can come up with out of millions" is old, dry, and was never actually funny at all.  Griff's thoughts of the day are funnier than this dry piece.

Thank you. And since it is humor you want, humor you shall get.
I remember the last thing my grandpa said before he kicked the bucket.
He said, "How far do you think I can kick this bucket?"

I didn't read your last post since you seemed to have already completely missed the plot (thought it would've been quite evident from my response), but looks you didn't quite get it?
Besides, no matter how you put it together, these two are the ones running for presidency in America, and that's something I find incredibly funny given there are many other deserving candidates.
But then again, whatever.

I see. You hate humor and laughter. Fine. Whatever.

I find it sad, not funny, but otherwise we agree.
