Using math to roll back the expansion of the universe to the point where it must have been a singularity, does give you a method to calculate with fair accuracy its age.

In other words, the signal was sent at the time dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Entire civilizations have plenty of time to appear, evolve and disappear during that time.
I nope nobody's waiting for a response.

The signal was sent 95 years ago - It's 95 light years away.

I roll tax-collectors in with ants and cockroaches - they have been around for a very long time, and it looks like they will continue to prosper.

Let's hope they don't come here and ask to see our leaders. Won't they be disapointed.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

But if they come to abduct our leaders, won't that be a delight?

Sorry if I sounded desperate, but do have a look at the top two candidates our American friends have chosen to be competing for presidency. They have chosen these two from the *millions* of people they have. 
I think only an alien abduction could help. Now, how would the aliens deal with the duo? That's their problem.

Nope. We have chosen these 2 out of about 20 possibilities.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The 20 were off the millions and the 2 were picked off the 20 odd, but great job nitpicking, and missing the humour and point completely!

Clearly. But we didn't choose those 20 just like you don't chose out of your millions who will run.

I did a great job doing that. It wasn't funny at all. I did totally miss any humor that was there.
I see people use this same ridiculous statement over and over so you just happened to be the one I finally responded to. There are many people more qualified to be President but did not chose to run. This nonsense that "these are the best 2 they can come up with out of millions" is old, dry, and was never actually funny at all.  Griff's thoughts of the day are funnier than this dry piece.

Thank you. And since it is humor you want, humor you shall get.
I remember the last thing my grandpa said before he kicked the bucket.
He said, "How far do you think I can kick this bucket?"

I didn't read your last post since you seemed to have already completely missed the plot (thought it would've been quite evident from my response), but looks you didn't quite get it?
Besides, no matter how you put it together, these two are the ones running for presidency in America, and that's something I find incredibly funny given there are many other deserving candidates.
But then again, whatever.

I see. You hate humor and laughter. Fine. Whatever.

I find it sad, not funny, but otherwise we agree.
