Well not quite, but how's this for coincidence:
Entry from my personal journal, dated 9th Sept 2006:
A man is abducted by aliens from his backyard. His family remain inside unaware as he is beamed up. The alien he is confronted with tells the man that he needs to convince him that they should not invade earth, destroy the human race and claim the planet for themselves. What transpires is some philosphical ranting about humans coming together, we are all the same, abuse of Mother Earth, etc.
That was a short story idea I had.
Below is what was written in the latest Hevy Devy Records newsletter I received when I ordered a copy of The Hummer:
Devin also started to work on his puppet show and even if for now there is no set timetable for the show, The first puppet is coming together with Devin just sculpting the finishing touches. He will work with many other people on this project (Travis Smith, Marcus Roger among others) and the show will relate stories of Ziltoid the Omniscient, an alien with ideas on destroying the Earth. Ziltoid will interview artists and musicians, seeking from them some reason not to blow up the world.
Wow. I was little freaked out by this when I read it.
I'm sure somewhere, in some form, someone has also had the same idea and already realised it, but honest to god this was an original idea for me. I guess, if anything, it makes me think "well they say great minds think alike, and Devin is a great mind without doubt, so I guess I am too..."
