YOUR CO-WORKER COULD BE A SPACE ALIEN, SAY EXPERTS ... here's
|
||
|
|
how you can tell (by Michael Cassels of the "National
|
||
|
|
Inquirer")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look
|
||
|
|
human - but you can spot these visitors by looking for
|
||
|
|
certain tip-offs, say experts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They listed 10 signs to watch for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Odd or mismatched clothes. "Often space aliens don't
|
||
|
|
fully understand the different styles, so they wear
|
||
|
|
combinations that are in bad taste, such as checked pants
|
||
|
|
with a striped shirt or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or
|
||
|
|
sneakers," noted Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator
|
||
|
|
and author.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits. Space aliens
|
||
|
|
might eat French fires with a spoon or gobble down large
|
||
|
|
amounts of pills, the experts say.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Bizarre sense of humor. Space aliens who don't
|
||
|
|
understand earthly humor may laugh during a serious company
|
||
|
|
training film or tell jokes that no one understands, said
|
||
|
|
Steiger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Takes frequent sick days. A space alien might need extra
|
||
|
|
time off to "rejuvenate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton,
|
||
|
|
a theoretical biologist and futurist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Keeps a written or tape recorded diary. "Aliens are
|
||
|
|
constantly gathering information." said Steiger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Misuses everyday items. "A space alien may use
|
||
|
|
correction fluid to paint its nails," said Steiger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. Constant questioning about customs of co-workers. Space
|
||
|
|
aliens who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask
|
||
|
|
questions that seem stupid, Easton said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans
|
||
|
|
picnic on the Fourth of July," noted Steiger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. Secretive about personal life-style and home. "An alien
|
||
|
|
won't discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at
|
||
|
|
night or on weekends," said Steiger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
9. Frequently talks to himself. "An alien may not be used
|
||
|
|
to speaking as we do, so an alien may practice speaking,"
|
||
|
|
Steiger noted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near
|
||
|
|
certain high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood
|
||
|
|
change when a microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger. The
|
||
|
|
experts pointed out that a co-worker would have to display
|
||
|
|
most if not all of these traits before you can positively
|
||
|
|
identify him as a space alien.
