      We captured a human in order to ask for an explanation, but apparently this is "comedy". It is an activity humans use to generate positive emotion and response, or possibly just to ensure reproductive success by "getting it". Analysis suggests that comedy is a vital part of human "story-telling", the mechanism by which they communicate effective ideas to offspring. Whatever message this instance sends, their self-aware irrationality is *fascinating*.

      That and the oxygen thing is probably a hint that the (in the story) creator of this is some kind of machine species or metal species. Since Robots don't need oxygen and are weak to magnetic fields. Considering that it was inspired by a post that referenced another post called "They're made of meat" which was written from the perspective of robots talking about Earth this seems likely.

    Humans posess one other defining trait. And that is their curiosity, and lust for knowledge.
    If you give a human a rope with a knot tied in it, and give no other instructions, they will untie it. Or give them a problem or a puzzle, and they will try to solve it. On top of that they even get pleasure out of doing so.
    Humans are intelligent creatures. Not becouse they "know", but because they know HOW to know. Maybe their brains can't comprehend some concepts, but then, they can and will create MACHINES that do, or that could help them comprehend. Dont underestimate that part of them.
    Those are not just 'some' traits, those are very much so their most defining traits.

Guess what fast international travel (airplanes) does to the human species. We could have had mostly seperate buckets that only occasionally mingle a bit and even then only slowly, but we decided that even though we haven't even visited any of our local museums we should go to the other side of the planet as often as possible to visit musea there.

      No later than 2020, I suspect. By then there will probably be enough embittered, pissed-off, angry, but otherwise rational humans around that they are willing to portray "the aliens" while the others are the "humans" being hunted down and punished _en masse_ for being too stupid to live. . .
      Oh wait, you said "Motion Picture". As in fiction? Never mind then. ;)
