    what would an advanced race come to earth for?

    1. I know some wild and crazy alien guys and they say:
	    "LARGE BREASTED AMERICAN WOMEN!"

    2. they are already here and taking over... soon we will all be numbly
	repeating... "We're Beatrice."

    3. Kate Bush!
	(also provides the tie-in with music & sf)

    --> speaking of sf & music, someone mentioned hints of "Lord of the
    Rings" in Led Zeppelin... if memory serves me correctly, "Ramble On"
    from Led Zep II had lines like "in the darkest depths of Mordor
    [something] a girl so fair / but Gollum, [?] the evil one, crept up
    and slipped away with her..." and more things, enough so that while
    in an altered state of consciousness, I had a mystic revelation about
    the relationship between LZ II and LotR which didn't survive the
    translation back to reality.
       
       I see lots of mention of inside jokes in sf books in this group 
    (e.g. the authors in "Footfall"). Do many people know of references
    to sf-people in "mundane" (non-sf) books? (inside jokes, catty 
    putdowns, etc... just wondering if anyone had noticed any 
    cross-pollination between genres).
