    "You think [technology] came from this planet? Bulls---! I don't think men are that smart." --Coolio

    In a recent interview, the '90s rapper credited extraterrestrials with marvels such as "computer science" and "jet planes."

    "Him and any one that would hang around him isn't that smart"

    You should correct your sentence,

    "He and anyone that hangs around him aren't that smart"

    Apparently, Coolio can't accept the fact that there are people with a higher intelligence than an ape, which is all he can relate to.

    Marvin, you lowbrow, no-spelling cretin. while it may be true that most consumer electronics are today manufactured in foreign countries (thanks to stupid tax laws inacted by DEMOCRATS and greedy ass unions, ALSO a product of DEMOCRAT policies), ALL current electronic technology, that's chips, boards, integrated circuits, flat screen plasma tech, laser tracking for DVDs, the first real computer, EVERYTHING, was INVENTED right here in America by people working for AMERICAN companies and governmental agencies. Don't think so? Get off your lazy, dumb, all caps ass and do a little research before you go running down the country, moron.

    minnieat 1-16-2009

    This is funny to me Marvin because of three things..

    1.Including is not spelled like this >incluiding
    2.I am positive that computers ARE electronics
    3.White is not spelled like this > WHITHE..

    So the next time you want to make a point about all white people being hillbillies and basically saying that we are uneducated, by all means use the correct spelling for such simple words my friend. May I suggest spellcheck?

    I worked at an air force base and one friday night at a good bye party for someone being deployed an older drunk officer talked about infra-red technology. He said that once alien technology was decoded they found out how infra red beams were used for weapons tracking and how they could be detected for measured response. Now we have transistors, chips and remote control units all derived from the same work. Stupid, I know, but it's all on the same content.

    It is obvious that this entertainment has-been is educationnaly challenged. I'm sure that he has a computer or ten. All he need do is research the careers of Adm. Grace Hopper, IBM, JPL and the U. S. Navy's efforts in WWII. I would bet that this entertainer would have a hard time deciphering "WWII". If there are aliens (probably are), then they obviously obey the "Prime Directive". Look that up Mr. Entertainer. DLF

    MY father was in the Air Force for many years and he told me on his deathbed of many accounts of extra- terrestrial encounters by our government and fiber optic technology being one of many things we have learned from "The others". And I personally have seen more un-explainable things in the day and nite time skies from California, to New Mexico, to Pennsylvania to know we are DEFINATELY NOT ALONE.
