Disguising money — make it look like nothing important enough to steal. also intended to get big wealth past keen-eyed and highly suspicious border guards and other obstacles, such as tariffs and gangs and street stickup men — in fact, anyone who would take it away from you if they knew it had value.

I had several thoughts, one of which was, if we can rule out all the obvious reasons ufos are here, what’s left that we may have missed about their intentions and purpose?
If we toss out the “obvious” reasons—scientific observation, resource gathering, intergalactic tourism—then we’re left with the weird, the abstract, and the beautifully bizarre. Let me throw some unconventional possibilities on the grill for you: Continue reading
