Ok.......... so I just saw an advert for insurance whiich had aliens invading and I wondered aloud to Ben if companies actually offer cover against alien invasions lol, so say your house was blown up would you be able to ring the company and say aliens blew up my house how do i claim? or i have been hit by an alien raygun how do i claim for the injuries caused?

 

Just wondered..........

My understanding is that insurance companies will insure you for almost anything where they can quantify a probability.

 

So, insuring for alien attack, end of the world, being struck by a meteorite and the Second Coming are well within the realms of what they may do.

I'm not insured against being molested by a hoard of tanned Aussie surfers either.

 

Sounds terrifying. Where does this happen and where can I get a ticket? :lmao:

 

To study us, aliens will probably use stealthy orbiters or maybe a lander like Viking. I doubt that they will cause any damages unless their lander lands on your patio or one of their satellites falls on your foot.

 

The only force strong enough to propel any civilization to the stars is curiosity. If they come, I doubt they'll be packing anything more dangerous than a camera.

 

Our idea of aliens as invaders is fueled by 50's B movies that had toxic levels of Cold War paranoia.

 

Any smart aliens would pass us by and leave a sign that says: dangerous natives with paranoia and nuclear weapons...

You know, I'll feel really stupid if the aliens do ever come along and I don't have insurance...

 

Oh, and you should read about some of the things that have been insured, like Pamela Anderson's breasts... some chick's legs... umm, other random body parts. I wish I could remember more names, a lot of these were pretty funny. :) Some guy had his penis insured; wonder how weird that would be for a claims adjuster. "Well, sir, you're only missing half of it according to the measurement you gave us... " :P
