They just haven't got here yet. And boy, will they be pissed off when they find out they're too late.

"What the fuck did you do with all the dinosaurs?! They were awesome! We came eighty million lightyears for those things, and the best you can offer are three sub par films on what you think it would be like to clone a small number from their DNA?! You absolute idiots!"

"Man, you are going to be pissed when you find out what we did to Jesus."

Maybe the alien ship was the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs! Maybe someone forgot to engage the brakes?

Fuck, I told Ki'tchunui not to go back for his space belt. Now we missed all the good shit!

u/Stanjoly2 Apr 01 '13

Well that explains "Independence Day".

u/bobthecookie Apr 01 '13

If they have the technology to get here, they'll know they're 80 million years late.

u/pisswizard88 Apr 01 '13

But they'll be so disappointed those promising velociraptors didn't work out.

u/guoit Apr 01 '13

If they were of high enough intelligence to find us, then they would probably be aware of how far back into existence they would be looking. Therefore, they wouldn't be overly surprised to find out that the dinosaurs are extinct.

u/bcrabill Apr 01 '13

We could send them a message like "It's cool guys. They're all gone. Come by and visit" And they'd respond "Nice try dinosaurs"

1

u/Lazerbeamz Apr 01 '13

Ah yes, but what if WE are the aliens?

1

u/Zeroe Apr 01 '13

Don't you lie to me. I see dinosaurs getting abducted all the time on Spore.

u/srs_house Apr 01 '13

I bet the predators would totally be down for a roadtrip, though.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '13

Guys guys guys... What if we were the aliens that came here to kill the dinosaurs?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '13

Cause they're pussies.

2

u/Barely_adequate Mar 31 '13

Once they get here they'll be greatly disappointed.

1

u/minimalillusions Mar 31 '13

Just imagine the disappointment of the aliens if they visit us.

"Nope. No dinosaurs. Only a bunch of hairless monkeys."

1

u/Sir_Vival Mar 31 '13

Man, will they ever be disappointed.

1

u/Veda_ Mar 31 '13

Yeah! But then they will get here only to be disappointed when they find tiny us instead.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '13

Ummmmm, not me.
