Paul Allen believes in aliens
Three minutes into an interview with Paul Allen on Boing Boing TV, Xeni Jardin asks the ultrarich Microsoft cofounder if he believes in little green men. And, well, he doesn't exactly say yes, but let's put it this way: You don't spend $50 million on an array of telescopes in the desert if you don't think there's a good chance. And what does Allen get for his millions? If it turns out there are, as the say, signs of intelligent life in the universe, he gets the first phone call. Take that, Bill Gates! You may be richer than your old college buddy, but he gets to hear about aliens first.
