Sound AND light show, people.

I used to work with a guy who was a Raelian. Their philosophy seemed anchored around a central tenet: "Have a good time". The stories about the origin of their religion are ludicrous, but they end up having a ball.

regularly download on their PC a back-up of their personality

Iomega could make a bundle off this. Let's see, how about hacking my kid's personality to make them more willing to do their homework when he starts school...

skallas: That is one snappy-lookin' UFO. Very sleek and minimalist, a real flying saucer for the '00s. Say, it kinda looks like it's made from adobe, which could explain the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi of the Southwest. Maybe the mother ship just came back to get them.

What makes you think they won't in any case, satapher?
