Entry 365: Planet 'Earth'

Distance from us: About 250,000 light years

Info: One of the stranger planets we ran into, we first sent a signal to Earth fifty years ago. When they didn't respond, we sent a ship out there to figure out if anything existed. We found them, alone on their little planet, not without the technology to interpret our friendly message, but simply bickering about what to say back.
