The UNOFFICIAL sub-theme for 2013

Cargo Cult - Who is John Frum? He is known to us by many names, this Visitor from Elsewhere, dispenser of endless abundance and wielder of mysterious technologies: John Frum, Quetzalcoatl, Osiris, "Bob." His cargo is splendid, his generosity boundless, his motives beyond our understanding. But across the ages and around the world, the stories all agree: one day he will return, bearing great gifts. Our theme this year asks three related questions; who is John Frum, where is he really from, and where, on spaceship Earth, are we all going?

Yoandri Hernandez Garrido, 37, is known as "Twenty-Four" because he has 12 fingers. Hernandez, who lives in Baracoa, Cuba, is proud of his extra digits because they enable him to make a living by scrambling up palm trees to cut coconuts and posing for photographs with tourists.

Well, I guess re-directing asteroids toward entry is easier than mounting a wholesale invasion of an alien planet.
