I asked 15 people if they had ever met a Martian. 2 said yes. 13 said no. I asked all 15 if they felt Martians should have the right to vote. Of those who had met a Martian, 1 said yes. The other said he wasn't sure and it depended on whether the Martian was right or left wing. Of those who had never met a Martian, 88 per cent agreed they should have the right to vote, the other 12 per cent said no. One person said he might change his mind if he ever did meet a Martian. One person volunteered the information that his current therapist was a Martian and planned to run for president against charlton Heston

Cute! That's about the level of scientific inquiry that I was aiming for. Charlton Heston is dead, by the way.

Charlton Heston's death would not disqualify him in the eyes of a Martian
