Tueseday February 9, was Extraterrestrial Culture Day. An officially acknowledged day in New Mexico (Roswell), Extraterrestrial Culture Day celebrates extraterrestrial cultures, and our past, present and future relationships with extraterrestrial visitors. On a late night game show on Comedy Central, @Midnight with Chris Hardwick guests Carmen Lynch, Brendon Walsh and Doug Benson extended “a short-winded welcome to our new alien overlords”, according to their official website. This gave birth to a Twitter hashtag that trended for two days.
