2:59 on the clock. computers are good and easy because you can always tell the time - even if it is the wrong time. if it's the wrong time, it can be philosophically argued if it even matters - because, think about it, you don't know which of the thousands of alternate realities you're living in, at any given moment.

of course, all that's bullshit when you're late for somewhere or something. of course you stop believing in that when you run into the same people in all the realities. shouldn't there be hippies and aliens and elvis at some point? because, in an alternate universe, elvis should be alive, we should all wear tie-and-die and be spreading love and Moulder and Scully should be busy making little alien babies.

The question of Are We Alone should be answered, no? it should be pretty obvious that we are.
