Oh yeah, Keanu Reeves said that.
Earth was sold to aliens by the government? Why?

Re: Word Play 13
Why do people sell things?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

To get money. But what if the aliens didn't have Earth currency?
Then it could be bribery. For... protection? Or to not be destroyed...
That's all I got.

I've lost complete knowledge of why anyone does anything.
I'm just using my little knowledge of psychology to estimate.

I'll Google it, & find out.
GRR! Thought Yahoo Answers had something there but the question was deleted!
It would seem Google doesn't know either.

Re: Word Play 13
I did? Oh yeah. I was really just using that to make a point.
So... how much did the government make? & if they sold the Earth then why do they still need taxes?
