Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"It has been clear that there has been no attempt at communication. No demands, nothing like that. So obviously, they are here for our resources. When you invade a place for its resources, you wipe out the indigenous population. Those are the rules of any colonization. And right now, we are being colonized."
"New data shows that they are using our water as a fuel source, and our ocean levels are already dropping. They are using it to power their ships, their machinery, possibly even their own bodies."

Lex Luthor: Say you succeed. You absorb all the information on Earth and then destroy it. Then what?

Brainiac: I repeat the process across the entire universe, until I have recorded all knowledge and destroyed all of creation.

Lex Luthor: And then?

Brainiac: Then my program is complete. My function is fulfilled.
Justice League Unlimited -- Divided We Fall


The aliens came
From a far distant world
In a large yellow ship
That blinked as it twirled.

It rounded the moon,
And entered our sky.
We knew they had come
But we didn't know why.

Bright the next morning,
With noisy commotion,
The ship slowly moved
Out over the ocean.

It lowered a tube
And drained the whole sea
For transport back home
To their galaxy.

The tube then sucked up
The clouds and the air,
Causing no small amount
Of Earthling despair.

With nothing to breathe,
We started to die.
'Help us! Please stop!'
Was the public outcry.

A hatch opened up
And the aliens said,
'We're sorry to learn
That you will soon be dead,

But though you may find
This slightly macabre,
We prefer your extinction

To the loss of our job.'
Calvin's poem, Calvin and Hobbes
