True stories about next-generation Predator drones scouting the Mexican border for illegals, a scientist whose only means of escaping certain death in the Antarctic carries him into the future, robots fooled by Groucho glasses, interstellar astronauts who draw blood over dessert snacks while the schizophrenic ship computer eggs them on, and the smartest man on Earth who’s dumber than a turnip. Then, there’s a whole gaggle of true stories about aliens: aliens that come to Earth to claim the remains of their deceased Roswell companions, only to find the captain’s head missing; aliens that come to Earth to recruit space fighter pilots because their own arms are too short to reach the controls; aliens that try to come to earth disguised as marbles; and aliens that come to Earth to practice their acting roles as aliens coming to Earth. Amazing, but all true. At least, there’s no clear evidence that these stories couldn’t one day happen.
