Jeral Says Stuff: Seriously, humans, what the shrell?

Sooooo....

It's been a weird year. That, I think, is a statement that goes for all of us still alive in the galaxy. But this isn't a thread about that year... or, at least not directly. No, this is a thread about something I discovered that is truly disturbing. And it has to do with you humans.

You see, since the Citadel moved to earth I thought it would be a good idea to do some research on its history. You know, if this is going to be my new pseudo home I might as well be informed. And, really, there is a ton of stuff there. Fascinating, intriguing stuff, really. But then I got curious. "Jeral" I said, "I wonder what humans thought aliens would be like before they knew for sure that their was life out there?" This... was a mistake.

Seriously, humans, what the shrell?







Seriously, I'm not the only one seeing this, right?

This:



is a salarian.

This:



is a "Grey man".

...

Seriously humans, what the shrell?!

This post is re-posted from ClockworkFrog Games! Go there for the original.

psychics!

Could be a coincidence. Or it could be that some of your people paid humans a little visit before their species was officially greeted by turian canons...

Yeah, I think that should be Salarians:What the Shrell? Poking around in our ancestors maybe?

(Just kidding.)

It's good to see more of the good folk from the site are still around. Hope the last year hasn't treated ya too bad, Jeral.

They "greeted" us right on back.

Those pictures are certainly... Unsettling...
Especially that first one...

i hope not. Considering that most of our stories of the grey men tend to have them performing weird and disturbing experiments on humans. And I'd like to think that our salarian allies never molested poor innocent people with probes.

I just had a thought!

What if the salarians did contact the humans, right, to let them know that there were aliens, but only the Earth Primarch and high ranking military officials were aware? So, they ordered the release of those pictures so that it would desensitize the whole human species to the existence of the salarians, so when the salarians did show up, the humans wouldn't be all "whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?" y'know?

I meant no offense my Turian friend, sorry about my careless choice of words. After all it turned out ok in the end didn't it?

Heh, yeah. We've come a long way since then (turians and humans, I mean).

Sorry, my reaction was a bit over exaggerated. 3:/

((uh, doublepost Oo))

Considering you came to my wedding and didn't even insult my (barely existent) relatives, I'd say we have.

Hey, we haven't come that far. There were a few backhanded compliments 3;)

I heard that humans allways believed aliens where supposed to be all green and had tentacles?

we are BLUE for godess sake.

purple if you really want to max it, but... green? seriously, humans.

We didn't know aliens actually existed, you know. We had to use our imaginations

Oh, those, those are like centuries old imaginations of how aliens would look like.
That you happen to look similar is just a coincidence, I mean, our relay was offline and coated in ice back then.
On the other hand... there isn't anything I couldn't see the STG doing... like abducting 20th century humans for anal probing dun dun dunnnnn.

I wonder if that nut's lawsuit against the slanarians is still on record...

Good portion of the databases were destroyed when the Reapers hit, so there might be a slim chance.

Well if the salarians did contact pre-space era earth, it was much older than actual photos. I actually watched an interesting documentary about it and they said the earliest human civilizations believed them to be agents of the gods.

skhash is more weirded out by grey aliens apparently being naked.

Can't remember any frog cults in history classes, so I think we're safe on that assumption.

Maybe its, Idunno, coincidence? Like the fact that these guys weren't secretly asari on the planet.
