Are UFOs hogwash? Do aliens exist and did they take my pills? Have they visited earth and if so was it their dog that le a dooty on the park strip? ese are just some questions the local chap- ter of Freemont Scientacular Nerdry Society (FSNS) are hoping to answer when they make a key address later this aernoon to residents of the Stinky Shady Creek Nursing Home.
