    Apparently the radio signal everyone was raving about may not yet prove the existence of an intelligent alien civilisation:

    Meanwhile, the search for intelligent life on Earth continues, without much luck.

    which poses the question.
    can an unintelligent civilisation recognise the signals of an intelligent one?
    cheers

    seemingly we're sending constant signals to outerspace - even stuff like eastenders!!

    so, I guess we're the unintelligent ones..
