Glad you picked up on that one. It proves my theory that the world is coming to an end as well as it should be. As further proof of this and with similar relevancy to the bamboo steamer, google "lucifer telescope, aliens"
The Vatican actually has a telescope operating in conjunction with the University of Arizona on top of a mountain range in Arizona which is manned by Jesuit astronomers and scientists. The purpose of the telescope is to detect extraterrestrial life.
Now to end this discussion, if you were an extraterrestrial with the capability of flying to other galaxies, would you set foot on a planet where they hawk bamboo steamers and throw in a set of wind chimes? Probably not.
