Maybe if you connect a sat dish to your tinfoil hat you can actually communicate with the aliens. You should give it a try. After all, you have to have an open mind. Sure it's 99.9% unlikely - but you could be the one who figures it out and initiates First Contact! You'll be in the history books forever.

I'd get started right away if I were you.

And now mermaids! Keep those minds open, you can pick up a cool million.

Book your tickets to the Middle East today! Don't delay and let somebody else get your money:

Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales.

An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night.

. . .

The town's tourism board is of course delighted with their newfound fame and local mystery fauna. Taking a cue from the town of Inverness, Scotland (on the shore of Loch Ness), the Kiryat Yam government has offered a $1 million reward for the first person to photograph the creature. Town spokesman Natti Zilberman thinks the reward money is well-spent. "I believe if there really is a mermaid then so many people will come to Kiryat Yam, a lot more money will be made than $1 million."

I'm sure if you zoomed in further on that monolith, it would give everyone the wisdom of the martians with the words "Buy Gold" in big letters (in English, of course).
