I feel the same way, Yov. But there are lots of other good people here that I feel that way about, as well. I'm sure that Anth would be the first person to want to acknowledge that.

Hi Yovi!

:hooray:
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Not if it was a completely alien biochemistry. It wouldn't register as food----maybe.

It would have to be able to eat and metabolize what's freely available on Earth. So chances are we (humans and animals) would be able to eat it. It might poison us, but the critter would still be dead.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
