  1. A few alien explorers from a galaxy far far away visit Earth, and they want to communicate with us humans, for which they need a language. They could use sign language but they don't. It may be a cultural thing or that they want to exchange more then the usual cry of "Bob" while pointing a body appendage towards self and then towards you(at which point you say your name or faint). So these ultra intelligent life forms who have traveled huge stellar distances to meet with us folks set out to create a new language which can be easily understood by both alien and human. The only catch is that the alien is advanced to human by more than a million years and close to a billion. So they sit down and form a committee. I imagine them to be a group of three, of two middle aged aliens and a wise old alien. They are all very chummy and stuff and they fight and debate and come up with a specification for the aforesaid language and named it, "themightygpoherhatescoffeebeansandlovesbigsnakesofthesea" as per their customary traditional practice of naming new languages. The meeting went something like this: "So we all agree that the language should have the basic minimum constructs to allow these puny humans to understand our vast alien knowledge", said Bob "Yes, we can't really talk to them in our conventional multi-dimensional speech now, can we", chimed in Pipeson. "Yep, the last mud world we tried teaching our language to, misunderstood us for invaders. Invaders! We are only glorified geologists for universe sake", said Grizzly while scratching his second head with his fifth arm. "The language is barely published and there are mass humans protests all across Earth accusing us of duplicity. Just yesterday, I walked by a group of ugly humans holding placards saying, "We are not dumb!" and "We are intelligent too!" and stuff like that. I didn't get the, "Stomp the cockroach" one, whatever that means", said Pipeson. "See, we all know in our vast alien intelligence that lesser building blocks for a language is a good thing. I don't think they will ever understand. But we have enough humans who are willing to use the language", exclaimed Bob. "What about the rest of the puny humans?", asked Grizzly. "Ah, I don't know, shoot them with our atomizer laser guns?" "Well, the biologists are looking for some specimens".
