Thread: So that's where the missed call was from

E.T. Phones Thailand—and Picks Up the Tab for the Call - WSJ.com

The aliens that allegedly visit Southeast Asia tend to have a rather different view of the universe, following Buddhist precepts such as reincarnation and greeting one another by cupping their hands together in the shape of a lotus flower.

Interesting cultural variation. Meet an alien in Thailand and they do a semi-wai; meet one in the states and they shove a cattle prod up your arse.
