I really do believe in Extraterrestrials, love watching documentaries about them and find it hard to believe that with the size of the universe and the amounts of other galaxies out there, we are the most intelligent

Fair point SB, except that there are so many flukey circumstances that have converged to support life on earth, viz. the Sun, our exact distance from it (any closer and we'd fry, any further away and we'd deep freeze), our atmospheric make up, H2O, our moon (no life without it), etc..

Sometimes yes but there are plenty of normal sensible people who have claimed to be abducted not to mention all the people, particularly pilots, who have have seen UFOs.

I'll not say it doesn't happen, I just don't think it does.

However.... the moon landing?? I know there are theories running about since day one, but come on!  :D

Put it into google and you'll get plenty of sites and discussion on it.

You're only talking about us, we wouldn't be able to survive on another planet but others might.
A polar bear wouldn't survive in a dessert, a camel wouldn't survive in Antarctica what makes you think in our universe everything would need the same conditions as us to survive?

True PoG, as some geriatric called Rumsfeld might have put it: "There are the unknown unknowns". I'm not ruling it out, just pointing up the amazing confluence of amazing factors that have led to life on this earth.

Man Utd fans have absolutely no sense of humour when it comes to joking about their team, infact you just can't say anything wrong about Man Ure without them going off on one. This includes my father and two brothers!

Totally agree with that..Would also add Dublin Football fans and Kilkenny Hurling fans
