I like Dale Gribble's strategy – maybe they'd keep me as a pet – a pampered pet at that! grin

I almost picked up one of the survival books this evening at the local borders--but I go tthe ZEO Zombie business book instead.

I love this article by Reuters:

"MUJAHIDEEN-STYLE RESISTANCE
Taylor and Boan started thinking about how to respond to an aggressive extraterrestrial attack during a 2001 discussion about defending against terrorist attacks.
"One thing that popped into my mind was that the only way Americans would be in an asymmetric war on the other side would be if we were attacked by aliens. Everyone chuckled, but then after a minute the comments started setting in," Taylor said.
"Then we really got to talking about it and we thought, well, you know, we really might need this contingency plan anyway," Taylor said.
Failure to prepare may mean mankind will have to dig in and fight with improvised weapons and hit-and-run tactics, much the same way Islamic extremists have battled the U.S. military in Iraq, Taylor said.
"You'd have to create an insurgency, a mujahideen-type resistance," Taylor said. "The insurgents know how to win this war against us. It also tells us that if we were attacked by aliens, this is our best defense.""

Basically, since none of us will ever consider the possibility of an Alien invasion, we will never make any preparations for it. As a result, inevitably we'll be stuck doing the Wolverine/Mujahideen thing later.

Wait a minute. Isn't that the strategy humans used in "V"?

I love the line . . .

Man. If Morena asked me to submit, I would gladly accept her as my overlord!
