The preceding End Of The World was Only A Drill! Had this actually been the End Of The World, we would not be here to tell this to you, who would not be here to receive this from us! Please resume Normal(TM) transmissions and receptions. Further inquiries may be directed to alt.alien.visitors, who will continue to know more about the coming End Of The World than we do, said knowledge being prerequisite for true "alien" status. It must be pointed out, of course, that the aliens are Here already, look just like us, and in fact, feel just like us as well - in other words, what you're feeling now may very well be identical to what an alien is feeling right now, meaning, of course, There May Be No Difference! Should events suddenly suggest to you that you are, in fact, an alien - REPEAT THE AFOREMENTIONED END OF THE WORLD DRILL AT ONCE! If enough people begin to repeat the drill at a high enough frequency, we will NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY about when the End Of The World is going to happen!
