Hey cool!  The ultimate weapon vs the Kra'Vak!	Elvis over the air!  We
just
broad-cast "Don't Step on My Blue Suede Shoes" over radio at their ships
and
then move in for the kill while they are all on the floors in pain!

"Ready the Secret weapon, Ensign."

"Eye sir!"

"Target aquired, sir!"

"Weapons away!"

"Elvis on line, sir!"

"The aliens ship is just sitting there sir!"

"I knew those alien scum wouldn't be able to stand classic earth Rock
and Roll!"

Man, that's cool......	;-)

But seriously, I think people are arrogant to think that we will receive
a
radio message from highly advanced aliens.  What if they ARE sensitive
to
radio-waves?  What if they have a better form of communication through
using
quantum particles or othr stuff we dismiss as PSB.  As stated in Full
Thrust
not so long ago the Death Ray was scoffed at as being impossible and
along
comes the working laser.
