Smart Guys

Find all of the scientific mistakes in this article.

"Alien abduction claims come from "weirdos" and are unlikely."

Umm...if anyone reports this they are automatically labeled wierdo. That is hardly objective. This is pre-judgement and is not scientific.

"Alien life might not have DNA like us."

There is no life without DNA. How would that even be possible? This is obviously pure speculation.

"Watch out if you would meet an alien. You could be infected with a disease with which you have no resistance."

Umm...no. If you were different you would be less likely to be infected, not more. This is why Mac users never get PC viruses. The underlying environment is too different.

"if the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before."

Because why? Could you be trying to raise money for NASA here?

For a smart guy Stephen Hawking does not seem very bright. A smarter thing to say would be that as interesting as the possibility is that there is life out in space, so far there is no evidence for such a thing.

Now if you want a real smart guy not a pseudo smart guy you want Ben Stein. I want to go see his movie.

I was pretty excited to hear about this movie too. Sure we'll have to Netflix, though, as we don't get out much for movies anymore...

You mean the way you spelled "mistakes" wrong? lol

It is not wrong. It is just different. I can not let the way everyone else spells affect me.
