3i Atlas

         Ralph rushed into Jeff's study. His unkempt appearance suggested he had dressed hurriedly.

         “Jeff! NASA just announced that 3i Atlas is not a Comet after all!”

         “What are you talking about Ralph?”

         “NASA says that 3i Atlas is something new, it’s not a Comet. There’s no doubt in any scientists mind now.”

         “What changed the doubters minds?”

         “Well, it broadcast a message in every language spoken on Earth!”

         “Every language? How did they determine this?”

         “Well, they didn’t exactly. But, since we have people who can speak Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and so many more, they know it was broadcast in those languages, plus many other languages they didn’t recognize.”

         “So they’re assuming ….”

         “Yeah, but I think it’s a safe assumption.”

         “Well. What did the message say Mr. 'I Have Surprising News For You' Smarty Pants?”

         It said, “Citizens of this planet, we’ve been trying to contact you about your planet's insurance policy.”
