the fact that there are people that believe this stuff kind of explains why Newt is doing so well in the primaries.

"The central part of the Chilbolton pictogram shows that a DNA double helix as found on Earth, with 10 base pairs per turn, has been replaced on one side by a novel single-stranded helix with just 6 bases per turn. I had to work hard for several days, to discover that the single-stranded helix with 6 bases per turn refers to 2', 5'-linked RNA or DNA, as opposed to the normal 3', 5' variety. This is known to hardly any molecular biologist, and I found out only by making an accurate model. Since the chemical formula of the 6-base helix remains the same as before, I guessed that any difference might be one of stereochemistry: change the sugar-phosphate connection. "
No. Sorry, molecular genetics labs have been manipulating the stereochem of nucleic acids since before 1974. The genetics lab at Salk Institute (and other organizations) did a lot of this work. Hundreds of different molecular structures for nucleic acids have been modeled and synthesized previous to the appearance of the Chilbolton pictogram...including double or poly-helical models using 2' to 5' linkage. To claim that "this is hardly known to any molecular biologist" is, well, stupid. The VERY VERY VERY BASIC and WELL KNOWN information presented in that pictogram was easily accessible previous to the appearance. Trololololololololol.

If I travelled millions of miles to get here I don't think some hicks in Missouri would be the first people I'd wanna communicate with. 
Crop circles just show how boring it is to live out in the middle of nowhere.
Cept that these circles are directly outside and beneath Britain's largest Radio telescope observatory...
But ya it's hickville over there.

The smart-rays coming from radio telescopes make farmers in the surrounding areas hyper-intelligent.

Considering that I'm one of those hicks, I could see where they'd want to do so!
Of course the urge to troll an alien so that I could brag about it here would probably insure they left and never came back, but we all have our demons.

This one is very interesting though, especially the supposed 'reply' to Karl Sagan's message sent out 27 years earlier
So we send out a gold plated record that uses the mathematical correlation of pulsars to show the location of our planet... and the super advanced aliens "reply" by mowing the lawn?
You buy that? Seriously?
Edit: And it's Carl you heathen.

I never understood why people would think that a high tech alien civilisation capable of bridging the vast gulfs between stars would choose to communicate with us via shapes in grass.
This one is easy, its all they figure we understand becasue we just sit down here and kill each other.
