Humans are Weird: I Have the Data
“A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam.”
— Sci-Fi Master Fredrik Pohl
Simply put, truth in advertising. Humans are weird, and we all know it. How will this little fact affect how our alien friends see us?

- Betty Adams lives in a particularly damp and remote corner of the Pacific Northwest and, like a hobbit, enjoys visitors so long as she knows them in advance and knows when they are coming. She was born sometime last century and will likely die sometime this century. She works winters on a small organic research farm when not writing and spends most of her time herding eccentric genius scientists (she is absolutely certain cats would be easier) with the help of her Great Pyrenees mix. Summers she spends nomadically wandering the Pacific Northwest in search of material for her stories and a regular paycheck for a biology major (she is reasonably certain those are on the Endangered Species List). She has several works published in the National Park Internal Database which may or may not be classified documents.
- In the words of that immortal bard, Samuel J. Snodgrass, "Make 'em laugh!" I wanted to spread some joy in the world and after years of trying this, that, and the other I discovered I had a talent for pointing out the absurdity inherent in the everyday life of humanity.
- If you are looking for epic space battles, if you are looking for generals winning victory through genius tactics, if you are looking for berserker warriors carrying empires aloft on their swords, look elsewhere my friends. Here you will find laughter.
- Here a quartermaster must discover why the humans insists that the mass produced broom, identical down to the molecule to every other broom on the base, is the "wrong" broom, and why and how they expect him to fix it.
- Here aliens learn the meaning of "enough C4"
- Here a medic meets the challenge of understanding why a human thinks it can survive on chocolate cake.
- Here Monty Python meets Star Trek.
- Here I make 'em laugh!
