I also tend to think there are some other species in the galaxie, hopefully they are not Borg (yeah, 5 hours of daily Star Trek make you see things). Anyway, think about it: we don't even know for sure how far our solar system goes, there are trillions of systems in our galaxie and there are millions of galaxies in the unverse, as far as we can tell. Maybe there's an even bigger entity, so the point is: we'll never know. As far as the universe is concerned, Earth is a stupid rock where some parasites succeeded to evolve and exterminate themselves in the blink of an eye. Probably millions of other civilisations existed before us in other systems and millions more will exit after us, chances are we'll never know about it either. It's sad but that's a fact.
By the way, very nice pictures posted here. It's good to see a thread not talking about sex or cars
