Some time ago I read that a guy by the name of David Anderson was the Creator of the SETI project or at least played a major role in it's creation. Along with some other info about him, I began to suspect Dave was a room mate of mine in Madison, WI. So, Dave, if you're listening, drop me a line. And the rest of you, if I have this all wrong, please don't clobber me too much. Thanks.

They told (us) to open up the Embassy, or "we'll blow you away." And then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somali, "Igaralli ahow," which means "Excuse me, I didn't mean it, my mistake".

Yes, it turns out that he was my roommate. I didn't see much of him except on the weekends when we would make waffles together and watch Dr. Who on his TV/monitor that was hooked to his Apple. He also kept me in check as I had a tendency to embellish stories a bit. And, I going to go visit him.
