Brave New Worlds - April 21st 1992
Two astronomers, Wolszczan and Frail
announced in a joyful eMail
"We've found a new planet! (*)
There may be no one on it -
but - fire off some nukes without fail."
(*) Orbiting a pulsar a mere 1000 light years from our Sun. But you never know. That's in our Galaxy! The Milky Way could be swarming with dangerous Little Green Men, and what's the point of having a Second Amendment if we don't defend ourselves by bombing the bastards before they land in our backyards?
Wot? No little green men to address thus: "Take me to your leader!" ??
