Top 15 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

Original prompt: Top 10 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

  1. Antarctica: A spot so exclusive, very few humans even go there
  2. The Great Pyramids of Giza: Some humans, oddly enough, believe we made them
  3. Studios in Hollywood: Humans place a lot of value in their "movies" and "television" so see where it gets made!
  4. Venice: Soon to be the next Atlantis (don't tell the humans about that city though)
  5. The Mariana Trench: Visit the deepest spot on this planet. Humans know so little about the ocean that this is truly a chance to be daring on a foreign planet
  6. Mount Everest: The highest point on this planet, well worth the visit. Plus it's also a graveyard if you think about it and are into that sort of thing
  7. Göbekli Tepe: This is believed to be the oldest surviving building on the planet
  8. Bingham Canyon Mine: I know, I know, this is all over the posters for Earth because we can see it from space, but it really is beautiful and worth a trip
  9. La Brea Tar Pits: You can seethe creatures that we first saw when we spotted Earth
  10. The tablets displaying the Epic of Gilgamesh: This is the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text on Earth. Some believe it is still a key text to the creatures called humans
  11. Najaf cemetery in Iraq: This is the largest cemetary on Earth. You can learn so much about a species by how they treat their dead
  12. Tokyo: Want to see a lot of humans rushing about in an urban habitat? This is your place as it is the most populated urban center in the world
  13. Greenland: Want to see more of Earth's nature and avoid humans? Visit the most sparsely populated country on Earth
  14. Brazil: Want to see a lot of kinds of Earth's flora and fauna? Hit up the most ecologically diverse country on the planet
  15. Dolní Věstonice: Want to know more about the strange creatures called Humans? Visit the oldest permanent human settlement that has ever been found

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
