You know, it’s hard to be the first in anything these days. There I was, creating this simple cartoon on aliens, thinking I might possibly have been the first person to name a alien within our solar system, aside from the famous Martian. Google sorted me out in less than 0.35 seconds and provided me with 1,890,000 results for my alien query.
Google has spoken, below are the official names of aliens within our solar system
- Mercurians are from Mercury
- Venusians are from Venus (Personally, I think Venetians are funnier)
- Jovians are from Jupiter
- Saturnians are from Saturn
- Uranians are from Uranus (it’s also a 19th century term that referred to a person of a third sex)
- Neptunians are from Neptune
- Poor Pluto misses out, after having been downgraded from planet to dwarf planet. Maybe aliens only live on planets.
I wonder if the Jovians are jovial. 🙂
Hee, hee.
I think I’ve been first in a couple of things… including something I’ll be posting this weekend that I did last weekend. I can never be sure, because sometimes there are people out there who just haven’t shared with the world… but if I can’t find it in a Google search, I assume I invented it! 🙂
Oh, and as I noted on your Facebook page earlier… I’m mostly concerned with the aliens that come from Uranus. 🙂
Well, I look forward to your weekend post 🙂
Laughing. Venicians or Venetians are waa-aaaa- ay better, I must say. I like the way you covered up your alien when we take a peek what it really looks like. Good one, Marti.
Hi Seeker, always good to talk with you. I’m glad you picked up on the blind going up. I sometimes have a bit of fun within the cartoon – a bit of a pun inside a pun. I’m simple, I like to amuse myself 🙂
