Sadly, the original Cosmo article…

Here’s an interesting, if brief, piece on how various religions might handle intelligent aliens showing up:
For each of the rather few religions described, two reactions are described:
The Buddhists, for example, are presumed to be perfectly cool with the idea of ETs, and will not be overly interested in converting them. Jews will accept aliens just fine, and have no interest in converting them. Muslims will accept aliens, but *will* want to convert them. Creationists will have some serious difficulty in accepting aliens. Catholics seem to be a mishmash.
Not listed: Mormons, Hindus, Shinto, standard Protestants, various pagans. And then there are the newage religions, the modern UFO cults, the Scientologists.
Feel free to speculate away!
Two fellers and a dog (or perhaps more accurately, a dawg) evacuate from the recent fire that devastated Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Or perhaps more accurately, evacuate *through* the fire. Some situationally-appropriate language is used.

One of the odder aircraft to see combat was the Twin Mustang. It originally began its life as a design for a long range escort made from two P-51 Mustangs joined by a common wing section, but by the time it flew a number of other major changes were made so that its, strictly speaking, not *exactly* two Mustangs joined together. It served well enough in Korea, but it was a piston plane in the era of jets, and was obsolete almost immediately.
Fortunately, one of the XP-82 prototypes is being refurbished with the goal of making it flight worthy. Unclear if they would actually fly it; I’d be a nervous wreck if I was involved in the project and someone decided to take it into the air. Still, if they do so it’d be a hell of a sight to see.
