World Cup viewing proves the existence of extra-terrestrial life

My Broadband :: International : Billions to watch World Cup on TV, Internet in Asia: "More than 30 billion people around the world are expected to watch the World Cup with media operators in Asia eyeing record audiences for the greatest football show on earth"

With only 6 billion human on the planet, there must be over 24 billion aliens watching World Cup. This leads to the following facts:
1 - There really are aliens
2 - Aliens like soccer
3 - There are 24 billions aliens

From these facts, we conclude:
1 - There are more aliens then people, lots more
2 - Aliens are soccer hooligans

I am scared. I hope their team does well. Which team are the aliens cheering for?

Resignation from adulthood

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6-year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple - a time when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you because you didn't know what you didn't know, and you didn't care that you didn't know things. All you cared about was
being happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to believe that the world is fair, that everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want things to be simple. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, worrying about how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the Bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth ,justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So, here's my checkbook, my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401 K statements, oh, and my stock options for my 2 year award. I am officially resigning from adulthood and if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first.
