The evidence suggests that this absurd universe wasn't built "for" anything. Extraterrestrial alien beings? In some far-off galaxy? Who the hell knows? I'll tell you who: No one. And if someone says he does know, he's probably trying to sell you something. And he's probably using the word "quantum" a lot.

ET? Eh. Russell's Teapot. Sorta. The dragon in the garage from Sagan's _Demon Haunted World_. Sorta.

If there is anything out there, it's way out there, and it clearly hasn't been anywhere near here. Not for a long-ass time, anyway.

The universe probably killed it.
