Well since we are in a lull, here's something I came across in the World 
Weekly News (which I use to get headlines for creative writing assignments 
for my class):

Space Aliens Backed Julius Caesar

Modern-day politicians suchs as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush arent the 
first leaders ever to win the endorsement of space aliens, historians say. 
A team of archaeologists recently uncovered an ancient mosaic proving an 
extraterrestrial helped the great Roman general Julius Caesar rise to 
power. "Caesar often told his compatriots that his conquests were achieved 
with help from the gods," said British archaeology Robert Parkaway. "The 
mosaic we discovered depicts one of these gods -- and it bears an 
extraordinary resemblance to what is known as a 'gray type' alien."


.... now all we have to wonder is whether JC was visited by 'men in black 
togas' ...
