Not surprised

On Friday, the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Communication Complex,Canberra, Australia,sent out more than 25,000 messages to the extrasolar planet Gliese 581d. It was full of the usual "Hello, we welcome you in peace and hope you can help us with our problems" rubbish*, but we here at EI have the exclusive clip of the return message from the beings of Gliese 581d:

*My message was: "We are coming on with fire and sword; laying waste to all before us. Surrender, if you wish to live and we will roar with laughter at your cowardice." It didn't make the cut for some reason.
