ET - Day...?

So, this is what americans are upto, besides being hell bent on attacking Iraq for 'liberating its people' as Mr. Cohen put it, anyways thats not so important, what is important is that they are kind enough to consider designating day for Extra Terrestrials...

Dan Foley, a Republican from Roswell, New Mexico, the area where some say aliens landed, proposed an "Extra-terrestrial Culture Day" every second Thursday in February.

Mr Foley asked for the bill "in recognition of the many visitations, sightings, unexplained mysteries and technological advances... of alien beings" in New Mexico.

The legislation aims to "enhance relationships among all the citizens of the cosmos, known and unknown," he added.


So what is this about, i mean this goes way beyond the limits of sanity, as if a number of stupid, irrational 'days' were not enough people now have to deal with an ET day?
Characters made famous in sci-fi movies, such as E.T. in Steven Spielberg's 1982 film, would be honoured on such a day.
