I don't have the time read the article fully right now, but the statement, "The Descriptions of alien faces historically reported by UFO abductees are almost boringly uniform" caught my attention. I'm not huge into aliens or UFOs, but one thing I have read is that descriptions of aliens vary from culture to culture. For example, most Russians report sighting aliens that look more like giant, boxy robots than the little grey men that are spotted in America. This could have to do with culturally preconceived notions of what aliens are supposed to look like.

Really? Huh. Rovots indeed.

Well, that's what I've read. But who knows who legitimate the source was. Here's one Russian example.

Heh, I just wanted to say that your icon reminds me of these latch hook kits. :p

Or maybe culturally concieved notions of mothers?
