Now all we need are a few competent linguists to go look at the language and figure out what they're saying. (Or we could just ignore it, and figure it all out later when they invade and force us to learn their language. :P Which isn't all that bad an event (especially for us polyglots).)


But in all sincerity, I wonder if anyone will actually care about this discovery in the general scientific community.

Thanks for the avatar Mick!

This seems eerily in line with the WNYC Radiolab podcast I listened to today which was about interspecies communication.
