There's this group called SETI -- the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. I sorta follow along with their program and I think it's interesting to explore the concept that humans are not the only intelligent species in the cosmos.

Until this morning, when I'm thinking maybe SETI is looking in the wrong direction. I mean, does anyone really, really understand the French? I'm thinking maybe the French are the closest alien intelligence...right under our nose all along.

France bans "conspicuous" religious symbols in schools including Muslim head scarves and, apparently, Sikh turbans.

my guess it'll be baseball caps & all things disney - they are the conspicuous religious symbols of capitalism, you know.

Yes, obvious branding! No Coke cans or mouse ears allowed (EuroDisney be damned!)

Of course, that doesn't apply to smoking state-owned French Gauloises cigarettes...
