Well in "Signs" The aliens aparently aren't able to get through doors so clearly they don't have a lot of experience with them? Is it possible that they ony have doorknobs bloted to the walls?
Seriously though, why invade a planet made up 80% of a substance that is acidic to you?

Tough one. A nice looking Chevy suburban hi-rail with what I believe was a laser level mounted on its bumper.
Been on a train as far away as Mystic, CT. But in recent times? 200-some odd miles.
0. Got called as a conductor for a work train assignment. They didn't need us to do anything that day. We didn't even start the engine (was a nice day out).
Lots of them.

I can see just about anything within a few hours of here. But what I see with any regularity may be an Alco S2. Or a GE 65-tonner, depending how I go home.
Licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets.

Oh, by no means! You are spot on and you are certainly helping this post get many replies. Post it fifty times, it doesn't bother me. [:-)]
