What's the meaning of your signature?
It's just something I made up -- it has to do with a book by Charles Stross which of course I've never read called Accelerando (available online at Accelerando - Charlie's Diary) in which there are "uploaded brain-scans of the California spiny lobster looking to escape from humanity's interference". I'm advocating for us all to put our sentiency online now before some other species dominates the post-singularity multiverse.

Counting down to Halloween night. Coming in at #8 in my top 10 types of monsters, we have invaders from outer space. Any violent, humanity-eradicating extraterrestrial fits this bill, but the classic of the type is the monstrous Martian, maybe first conceived by H.G. Wells in 1897.
The typical extraterrestrial invader, whether from Mars or the far end of the galaxy, is buggy-eyed, has a massive brain, and even now is ordering armies in metal ships with death rays to come to our planet to exterminate or enslave all of humanity.
Don’t trust ET! Don’t! Y’all do know how the Damon Knight story “To Serve Man” turns out, right? If not, be sure to watch this 1962 episode of The Twilight Zone:

On that happy note, it’s time for me to turn into a pumpkin. Provided you don’t open your door to any space monsters, I’ll see you again in about 24 sober hours!
