E.T.
is missing again!
By
Ace SweeneyIntragalactic correspondent HAT CREEK OBSERVATORY, CALIF. – Super-powerful radio telescopes have picked up their first definitive transmission from outer space -- a missing alien alert for E.T.!
“Notice to all intelligent beings -- and humans,” states the galactic All Points Bulletin. “E.T. has vanished without a trace during a routine flora gathering mission to the Alpha Centauri Star System. ¥1,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts.” SETI radio astronomers monitoring signals at the expansive Allen Radio Telescope Array in northern
“And that’s quite a reward, seeing how ¥1 is worth $4,358 at the current exchange rate.” The mystery comes 27 years after E.T. first went missing during a botanical expedition to Earth, an adventure captured in famed movie director Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster biopic, E.T. the Extraterrestrial. When contacted by the Cosmic Chronicle, an official on Brodo Asogi said investigators believe E.T. may have slipped back to Earth, which lies in the nearest star system to Alpha Centauri.
“E.T. has been obsessed with meeting up with her again.” Barrymore, 34, was warned to be on the lookout for the lovestruck 789-year-old alien, but she didn't sound too concerned. “Hey, after being married to two losers for a total of seven months and dating the Mac guy,” she said, “bring him on!” |

LACTI -- In
a widely anticipated finale, heavily favored Alien defended its crown

“It’s amazing,” says Voyager I mission specialist Dr. Oscar Weiner. “For months there was no sign of anything and then, suddenly, Voyager senses an electromagnetic force similar to brain waves.” Engineers were able to translate the electromagnetic pulses into the words “ “It was the strangest thing,” says Tripp. “Voyager was just chirping away, then it suddenly stopped after transmitting its last words, ‘You’re fired!’” Heavenly bodies
demand extreme makeovers
The Man in the Moon wants dermabrasion to smooth out his complexion, Jupiter is looking to get rid of his Red Spot, Saturn wants some liposuction on her trademark rings because she thinks they make her look fat, and virtually featureless Uranus seeks a complete face transplant -- as well as a name change. “With the Hubble’s upgrade, it’s like going from regular TV to high definition,” explains famed astronomer Si Klopps. “Just like those local news people who suddenly seem to sprout moles, pimples and pores the size of black holes when viewed in hi-def, the local planets and moons are concerned that all their imperfections will show up in new Hubble photos.” |
