Inspired by an IM conversation. If you were God, and you could write a message in big glowy writing across the night sky what would it be? (putting aside questions of the existance of deity(s) and physical impossibility and stuff for the sake of a mildly amusing thread).

My suggestions:

THERE IS NO GOD, THIS IS JUST A RANDOM PATTERN OF STARS

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN

WATCH OUT FOR THAT ASTEROID

HEY CHECK OUT THIS MAP I MADE IT MYSELF

THIS UNIVERSE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

I OWN YOU


Avoidance!

Your suggestions are great, Paul. I'll think of some tomorrow.

I'd go with a simple, ominous: "OOPS"

"We apologise for the inconvenience."

*rimshot*

"A fatal exception OE has occurred at 00457:000040B1. The current universe will be terminated."

"A fatal exception OE has occurred at 00457:000040B1. The current universe will be terminated."ROFL! this one simply MUST be written on a day with absolutely no clouds in the sky :D

"THAT WASN'T RAIN, GUYS"

I dunno

"I'M IN UR SKY, WATCHIN UR STUF."
Yes, god is a lolcat! :eek:

In the equation of life, x does = 42

T MINUS 5

And counting...

"SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH"- that'd leave them guessing :p

Or maybe the classic Bart Simpson line: "I DIDN'T DO IT", or even "IT WAS LIKE IT WHEN I GOT HERE" (just imagine what the religious people would say about that :D)


I'd probably sign all of these at the end, just so as people can't dispute who the messages are from.

I'd give one in the eye to creationists.

I AM THE LORD THY GOD. I CREATED LIFE FROM NOTHING. BUT YOU AREN'T IT; YOU'RE JUST SOME UPRIGHT MONKEYS. THE STUFF I CREATED IS OVER HERE --> .

I hold you personally responsible for sticking an image of Richard Dawkins dancing obscenely in my mind. It won't come out. :(

I'd probably sign all of these at the end, just so as people can't dispute who the messages are from.you obviously don't know a thing about humanity. it doesnt' matter HOW you wrote said sky message, it'd be put down to a prank by a professional sky-writer with a fancy new technology, a new government hologram, or a coincidental happening with weather balloons or swamp gas or something equally nonsensical. maybe some new form of aurora borealis or something.

regardless, it'd get passed off like some freak incident by everyone but the crazies and the logic-minded.

Well, I'd put a second message up at a different time, a day or two later, stating that the first message was totally true and yes God does exist :p

I'd go with a simple, ominous: "OOPS"The more I think about this, the more I think it's the best one. It's like God just suddenly turns around, notices the last couple of million years, and slaps His forehead.

You could draw this with stars:

http://xkcd.com/54/

"YOU ARE A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION"

That'd get them thinking :p

"YOU ARE A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION"

That'd get them thinking :pthat's confusing enough without seeing it in the sky for no reason :p

Exactly :D

I CREATED THE UNIVERSE IN 6 DAYS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS FLAMING MESSAGE TO CREATION.

Capslocked.

How bout..

"YOU ARE BEING OBSERVED"

I think this would be fun:



GOODBYE.

INSERT COIN

Yes.

"chocolate Rain"

ДДТ - Время

ДДТ - Время
what does that mean and why would people be interested in seeing it in the sky

Hahahaa, wrong thread.:o:rolleyes:

Maybe they'd like to know what kind of music their God is currently listening to? It would change when I pick a new song.

As you can see/ Having descended the hill/ I still look like me/ I still howl like Phil/ And forever will

There is no God

here are some suggestions:

HELLO, WORLD!
NICE PLANET. DOES IT COME IN RED?
42
I LOVE YOU LEELA
A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY...
COKE BRINGS LIFE!
THINGS JUST HAPPEN, WHAT THE HELL.
IT'S BEHIND YOU!
SAY SOMETHING, GODDAMMIT. YOU'RE ON TELEVISION!
STUFF TO DO: PICK UP SHOPPING, MOW CELESTIAL LAWN, DESTROY UNIVERSE

UNIVERSE beta

"SYSTEM ERROR: UNIVERSE.exe NOT FOUND. PLEASE RE-FORMAT AND RE-INSTALL"

This would of course be accompanied with a standard-issue Windows "blue screen of Death" :p

Your Universe Is Reaching Its Storage Limit. Delete Older Galaxies To Make Room? (y/n)

SHUT UP. I RUN THE DAMN UNIVERSE. IF I STOP CONCENTRATING EVEN FOR A MOMENT ALL PLANETS WILL FLY OFF AT TANGENTS AND FREEZE. SO TELL ME IF YOU THINK I SHOULD DROP EVERYTHING AND HELP YOUR CAT GET BETTER FROM ITS COLD. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

YOURS, GOD.

xx

DAVID, WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE BIG BROTHER PLANET.


Or any random but common name.

As you can see/ Having descended the hill/ I still look like me/ I still howl like Phil/ And forever will
that's a really good one

CHICKEN LITTLE WAS RIGHT.

yes.

Sh!t, Someone Left The Gas On.

Well, you get DX10, so it's not all bad.

I know I'm always thrilled to install the latest version of DirectX.

it's really kind of saddening that it's one of the only worthwhile features of vista and it can't even stand on its own

also that post was a joke? whatever

it's really kind of saddening that it's one of the only worthwhile features of vista and it can't even stand on its own

also that post was a joke? whatever:confused: I've never installed Dx 9.c, and I've been playing games on vista for months....I suppose it's possible it was installed without me realizing it, but to my knowledge I never did so.

It's not an obvious issue. While DX10 is backwards compatible with DX9.0c, it doesn't include all the extra DLLs that Microsofty kept adding in their every-month-or-so DX9.0c, so you'll have to "reinstall" it to get any games that depend on them to run.

Adapted from Hitch Hiker's guide, and following on from one of wormthingy's ones:

"SHORTLY THERE WILL BE SOME SPACESHIPS HANGING IN THE SKY IN MUCH THE SAME WAY THAT BRICKS DON'T."

Anything in strange symbols that is clearly not intended for anyone on Earth would put the wind up religious types.

How's about this?

And yes, that is a "proper" alien language. If nobody can understand it, I'll reveal where it's from.

"We are taking over this planet now - you have five seconds to vacate before we destroy it."
