:confused: I know is not a tech question but i'm imaging that those elien eat little capsules with all the necessary nutrients so there's no need of piss and you know [phew] ......or probably are vegetarian. :alien:
What did you think about it? :headscrat

I would imagine they'd have some sort of engineered food pellets.

Possibly, an alien species could have very different means of producing energy than we do, perhaps thay don't eat any other form of life, they sustain themselves by consuming rocks inriched with minerals, gasous chemicals, or are self sustaining, like a living nuclear reactor...

U.S. Military issue K rations.

Then they must not have taste buds...I tried K rations once, oh man, that's what makes a military man tough. :sick:

Never had actual k rations, but I've had Marine issue MRE's (meals ready to eat) many times. I favor the bar-b-q chicken.

But i have a feeling the "beings" flying the "UFO's" eat whatever the Air Force version is.

MRE's are pretty good, but I got what you were saying, since most UFO's can be explained by "black" military aircraft...

[Erkle] Did I saaaaaay that? [/Erkle] :smokin:

I'v had that one. I eaven used to the multi purpose heater too. Pretty good stuff.

THEY'RE MADE OUT OF MEAT
By Terry Bisson

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."

"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"

"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."

"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."

"No brain?"

"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."

"So ... what does the thinking?"

"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."

"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"

"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."

"Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."

"Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"

"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."

"We're supposed to talk to meat."

"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."

"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"

"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

"I thought you just told me they used radio."

"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"

"Officially or unofficially?"

"Both."

"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."

"I was hoping you would say that."

"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"

"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"

"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."

"So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe."

"That's it."

"Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?"

"They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."

"A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream."

"And we marked the entire sector unoccupied."

"Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?"

"Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."

"They always come around."

"And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone ..."

the end

Hey now, we have water for our meat to soak in...

MRE's are pretty good.

Hey Cap aliens eat at Burger King. No seriously what they would eat is a great question to speculate on because it requires we speculate how their bodies would be made up. We tend to assume aliens would be carbon based and have a digestive system where they take in energy and secrete a by-product but this is not necessarily the case. Some life forms on our planet don't secrete anything. Its interesting because if you read all the stories on aliens there are stories that Dracos (lizard aliens that some think are the descendants of dinosaurs on their way back to earth to reclaim it) eat us like chicken. Some people speculate Greys nourish themselves on certain chemicals from our brains and secrete their waste through their skin. On and on it goes. I guess the real question is, do aliens eat humans. I would say its plausible an alien species unknown to us may eat flesh and therefore humans. I guess the question is why do we humans eat meat. It doesn't bother us..once we mash it up and put cellophane around it, we seem cool about it. Scary to think some species may want to treat us like we do our pigs, cattle, chickens, etc.

Well I think that if they eat at Burger King they will suffer pain and some digestive problem (Never seen a fat E.T) :alien:
But if they consume some kind of energy pill will be complete absorbed in the body so no need of intestines or even a stomach :dunno:
But i believe that they consume the element of life; WATER

The new ones are supposed to be really good. K rations went out during the vietnam war. But I've tried one in the early 80s that was left over from the korean war and they tasted OK. so nearly 30 years on the shelf and it was still ok to eat. There was even a hershy chocolate bar and some saltine crackers that were still good.

But Trog weren't you suspicious when your crap was florescent green!? Man you got an adventurous stomach dude.

Hi,

(to Captain Scarlet original post):

Intelligent question demands according answer.


Vegetarian Outer Foreigners would probably feed on Organic Nutritive Caplets that supply all what the body need.

Consequently, the structure of their face is very thin (because they do not chew) and their body is also very skinny.


The digestive system will always be necessary, it will simply adapt.

Such a way of eating would produce biological waists in small quantity.

DataJY.

well is a good answer
.........So that's mean they use this
http://convictionsoftheheart.greenhome.com...aper_detail.jpg :tease: :surrender :amen: :ship:

i was thinking, maybe they just need some form of electricity, i mean we eat food to convert that into elecrical impulses, why not cut straight to the chase, i mean all reports of them are slight build, no real muscle bulk.

Also, why can they not beam food into them and waste out?? i have often wish that was possible.

Not at all.

They would dehydrate the biological waists directly, split it into molecules and atoms than regroup each different element and store them to reutilize it.

It is called “recycling”. An advanced notion.

You see, we have much to learn !
