If various real and fictional characters were from other planets, what can we assume about those planets?
TELETUBBIES
These seem to be cybernetic organisms, probably infants, considering their limited communicative skills. The entire planet is probably terraformed, with genetic engineering used to provide a perfectly balanced and safe ecosystem. There are unseen daycare providers who use nanotechnology to provide interesting sensory stimulation to the infants. There is an additional infant in an antigrav chamber hovering in the sky; that infant is undoubtedly too young to be given cybernetic implants. The facial features of that infant are more humanlike than the features of the four other infants. Automation and robotics is also extremely advanced.
CLOWNS
Highly colored, oddly behaved individuals; no two look alike, indicating a high mutation rate, probably from either an abundance of radioactive materials, or energetic radiation from the local star. Organisms in jungles tend to be more colorful and active than those in arid regions, suggesting that clowns originate in a hot, humid climate with many competing lifeforms. They also have limited shapeshifting ability, as is shown by their ability to squeeze into small vehicles. They appear to be asexual, or possibly hermaphroditic, and have little or no body hair.
Their oversized hands and feet suggest a higher gravity.
MIMES
Similar to clowns, but less colorful, from a more arid ecosystem. A thin atmosphere transmits sound less well, so mimes come from a small planet with lower gravity and less air than the terrestrial standard.
COMPUTER GEEKS
Able to live on little food and little sleep for long periods, they have a low metabolism, suggesting a small, cool world with little radiation. Their habitat is technically advanced.
T.V. Evangelists
These people seem to come from a planet with:
No commitment to spouses.
Lots of cheap cosmetics that run when you cry and that you can buy at gross quantities.
No real ethics when it come to money.
Have a warehouse of "miraculous" items that do absolutely nothing.
Preach the Bible but don't follow it themselves.
Seem to condemn the sinner instead of the sin.
POLITICIANS
Seem to come from a planet where:
Sexual misconduct runs rampant
Name calling & mud-slinging is commonplace
"Truth" is non-existant
Conspiracy is legal
Mismanagement of money is everywhere
Making war seems to be more profitable than making peace
Do very little for the middle & lower class people.
Registered voters:
Study is incomplete at this time as we can only find about 20% of them. The rest are apparently satisfied with the status quo.
Wreckless Drivers
As Voyager 5 circles this planet it notices.....
They consider driving on the shoulder to be kosher.
They love honking the horn the split-second the light turns green. Yet, when they are in front of you, they wait until the green light reaches a certain shade of green before they decide to move.
For them it's no problem to go 10 or 20 MPH over the speed limit.
They apparently are multi-taskers...they can drive & use the cel-phone at the same time.
They consider seatbelts "too confining"
It's no problem to have an alcohol level .10 over the limit.
Wreckless Drivers pt. 2
2nd Orbit:
The use of turn signals seems to be optional. Sometimes it's done at the last second.
Cutting thru a gas station that's next to a traffic light is no big deal.
Great confusion surrounds what "Right of Way" means.
Definition of Right of Way:
It is what I have and you lack.
Definition of Right of Way:
The person who has his arm and blade extended. Except in epee, the other person must parry first, or his attack is null.
Oops! Wrong context!
