Once upon a time I Caught Kate decided to write:

A good topic for mythbusters might possibly be
the myth that mobile phones are dangerous at
petrol stations

They should do a UFO thing. lol

**They should do a religion thing.

nah, religion aint real, everyone knows that.


Reminds me of a SF story I once read where a christian missionary on
an alien world introduces the aliens to the Bible, only to have them
attempt to determine it's truth via experiment; crucifying the
missionary to see if he will rise again in 3 days.

I read that too, I think it was either in one of those "Amazing" magazines
from the 70s, or a short story collection.

I heard that cannibals ate missionaries precisely to get god into their
bodies. they figured that if the missionaries had god in them, eat the
missionaries to get god in them too

Nonsense! It is very sensible to test any theory or hypothesis, and

"test to destruction" frequently yields very important data.

Perhaps you meant, "Pretty dumb missionary"?

Yes, but the missionary didn't claim that he himself rose from the dead,
so why kill him to see what happens? Dumb aliens. :)

UFOs are real. Alien spacecraft aren't.

Proof?

Show me one?

There are lots of photos of them. Prove that they aren't alien
spacecraft.

Photos can't be verified. Show me a physical one.

That's a pretty stupid request considering that no one ever plans to see a
UFO, it just happens to appear before them out of the blue.

Bullshit. I know plenty of people who plan UFO sightings. Ever heard
of people going UFO spotting?

You can go UFO spotting, but there's no guarantee you'll ever see a UFO.
