Suddenly, next to you, a form appears...kind of human...but not human. It doesn't try to harm you at all...it's just there. You hear it speak inside your head...it has no mouth, but you HEAR it. It's voice is neither male nor female.

It says to you:

Every 1,000 of your Earth years, we visit your planet to see if you have progressed past your Barbaric stage. What question do you ask of us? Your answer will help shape our decision.

What would you ask?

I would probably ask "Is there a God or Supreme Being?"

And you?

If you'd voice the question that way the answer would be 'Yes', considering those aliens ARE apparently superior, if they check on earth to see whether we are still in a barbaric stage.

'What is the purpose of our existance' might give you a better answer. If they answer 'For the continuation of the species' Darwin was right, and if they say 'To worship the alcoholic who genetically engineered you' God does exist.

Of course it's much more fun to ask them a question of the type 'What is red and green and goes round and round and round?' :p

Dood I'm alien and I can state for a fact we don't need to ask you any questions to know you are all insane neanderthals.

Take me for instance, I think I'm a friggin alien for crissakes!

I would ask, "Is there intelligent life out there?"

And then I would ask, "Do aliens really exist?"

That one sucked.

LOL! Classic! I would definitely want to drive the spaceship. Twice. I would want a tour...yes, a TOUR of the spaceship and I want to be explained all it's inner-workings. As long as they didn't stick anything up my butt. What is it about aliens and butts anyway?

So, who would win in a fight? The Starship Enterprise or a Star Destroyer?

Very nice.

I don't know what is scarier, the fact that I appreciate this answer, or the fact that I'm reading this thread and seriously trying to decide on a single question in preparation for the alien to come visit me.
