Subject: Alcohol Abuse in Aliens ...

The Chris Tarrant Breakfast Show on London's Capital Radio did a brief
mention today on a story that broke this week about a huge gas cloud that
has been discovered around a star 10,000 light years away (can't remember
which).

Nothing unusual so far except that the cloud is about the size of our
solar system and is entirely made up of 'alcohol' !! (probably the real
hard stuff - ethylene or similar).

This could explain many aspects of the behaviour of aliens and UFOs -
zig-zag manouvers across the sky, speaking in strange tongues, abductee
surgery (shortage of alien liver replacement donors on the home worlds ?),
the general appearance - grey / green palour to the skin, huge bulging eyes,
'swizzle stick' appendages, etc.

Maybe the frequent visitations are no more than Joe Grey nipping down to
his favorite earthly liquor store when he fancies a change from his
local home-brew ??

forteanly yours,
Mike
