My dad an I were channel surfing a few years ago and caught the tail end of an old black and white movie about this group of scientists who were hunting an invisible alien. It was absolutely HILARIOUS, and I've been trying to find the name of it ever since then. Here are the things I remember from the movie:

The scientist set up an "inconspicuous black box" to check for the alien, and the thing is covered in flashing lightbulbs and is roughly the size of a mini-fridge

They chase the alien onto a catwalk that, if memory serves, surrounds the rocket the alien came in (or some rocket in general). They either push the alien or he falls off, and when he hits the ground he becomes visible. The scientists descend to inspect the corpse; as they approach, it disappears. Typical 50's Scientist Guy goes into a thought-provoking before they all whip out cigarettes, light them, and proceed to flick their ashes where the alien once was.

Ringing any bells? Thanks in advance.

What would be the correct adjusting entry if you needed to credit merchandise inventory? I mean, say you have 120,000 on paper but a physical count reveals only 110,000. Where does that other 10,000 go? Miscellaneous selling expense?

Who had the most influence in who you turned how to be? Encouraged you, gave you good advise, believed in you, etc. Who was a role model, someone you admired and wanted to emulate? What did they teach you?

For me it was my aunt and uncle. Any unconditional love in my life I got from them. My aunt was a lobbyist and a farmers wife, and it was the two of them who made me realize there was a big world out there, and women could do more than be a wife and mother -

I remember running to my uncle one day and telling him there were fairies living down in the ravine. I was about 2 or 3 I guess, and I can still see him taking his cap of and rubbing his head and say "Well for gosh sakes I didnt know that?, My aunt came outside and he called her and said "Mildred did you know we have fairies living down by the creek? I think we had better go down there and have a look. I dont recall that I ever saw a fairy before but I sure wouldnt mind meeting them"

They were so good with children -

BestBuy Geek squad was supposed to only repair the dc power plug in the back of my computer but instead after having the laptop for 4 months returned it with a new hard drive and told me they threw away my old one. They told me they did it it as a favor for taking so long on the power jack repair???!!! When I freaked out and asked why didnt they call me first before they did this they acted like I was a jerk because they were "doing me a favor." There was nothing else wrong with the laptop when I dropped it off. Just the power jack and that was specifically put into the work order. Since I said I was going to consult an attorney the manager and corporate refuse to talk to me or return
my deposit. Ive lost priceless photos and manuscript files now. I didnt have the means or a reason to back them up at the time because I thought I was dropping it off for a simple repair. I was on the road at the time and dropped it off at the nearest BB. I want blood from these jackholes.

Nascar even being called a sport is almost as bad as the drivers being called "athletes". Both are entirely untrue.

Nascar drivers depend on a $1 million dollar car to do anything. If they did not have the car, nothing would happen.. no super exciting endless left-hand turns.. oh no, what a shame.

Do basketball players play on million dollar rollerskates?
Do baseball players use gold bats and diamonds for balls?
Do football players play on hovercrafts to move?

Do you see how ridicilous these things are? That is what REAL sports fans think of Nascar.. a big fat joke. Nascar is a competition, but definately not a sport with athletes participating.

So, why is Nascar considered a sport and drivers considered athletes? I drive my car for 10 hours straight.. am I an athlete?

I put a drop of tear in the ocean last night for you. And I won't stop loving you until you find that tear drop.

Hey, is it just me, or are we destined to be married?

Something tells me you're sweet. Can I have a sample?

Excuse me, do you have any raisins? How about a date?

If you know a person's name: "Hi, [name]." How did you know my name? "Isn't every beautiful boy/girl named that?"

So, what do you like to do for fun? (Why?) Because I'm gonna ask you out.

What's that on your face? Oh, must just be beauty. Here, let me get it off. Hey, it's not coming off!

Girl, if I were a fly, I'd be all over you, because you're the ****!

I betting that you cannot wait until tomorrow, because I bet that you get more and more beautiful every day.

If it weren't for that DAMNED sun, you'd be the hottest thing ever created

How is your fever? [What fever?] Oh... you just look hot to me.

Damn, Sugar, settle down. I'm diabetic.

I can see you. [Uh, yeah.] Great! Then how about tomorrow.

This guy seems to have an ego the size of Texas (referencing his blog, website), but I can't see what's so amazing about him. He also has some good reviews from semi-decent authors. Does anyone here see what is so remarkable, or even good, about his writing? Here is a link to an excerpt from his latest book, called Doorway of Darkness:

I think this is because he wants to test us. He does not let us know if he exists or not or which religion is true on purpose because this helps us grow and use our hearts. Using your brain is good, but you also need to use your heart and have faith. What are your thoughts?
