That's why I believe there's life out there. No, I don't think we've been visited by green space men, I just think with numbers like this the chances of this being the only planet to foster life are slim.

Your delusional convict friend has outdone himself with idiocy, and an unflinching willingness to ascribe thoughts to other people all the while without ever demonstrating the capacity for original thoughts of his own.

What if he was? "BILLIONS of hairs...all connected to one being....."
