Not quite! :-). Since I get the, ah hem, DIGEST format [:-)],
I can't respond to these until the next day.

Of course the aliense knew what kind of animals were here! They
knew the animals had opposable thumbs. This is because the aliens
were coming here as a vacation spot for centuries. Later, just before
the inter-galactic UG (United Galaxies) organisation declared earth
animals as sentient and made earth off limits, some beings from Mars
were down here operating on animal brains. This is true because there's
a movie about it; some guys digging in London found a big, blue, sentient
spaceship while digging subway tunnels. This was a martian ship and had
some modified earth animals around it. There was a localized riot in
London after the ship was unearthed, but it eventually fell apart because
some UG troops in a cloaked mothership sprayed the London area with an
anti-martian-thought ray, which brought the Londoners back to normal.
A side effect of this ray was the eventual election of Margaret Thatcher :-).
