   Not sure if this was Dimitri’s thought or not, but the first thing I thought of was:

   “Ohhh so Dimitri can literally BREED the telekinesis out of the Eebs.” *wink wink nudge nudge*

   I think one of the biggest concerns Dimitri might have is that if it can be shown that Eebs and Humans share a common ancestor, then the GOB might just declare Humans non-sentient. That would total screw their plans to get Earth to present the Eebs cause to the Galactic Council. Earth would go from being a “dark planet” inhabited by non-space-faring sentient beings (with rights) to an “uninhabited” planet with RICH mineral deposits ripe for plunder in the outer reaches of its system. Now, of course, its possible to have sentient and non-sentient species that share common ancestors (chimps and people), but the GOB doesn’t seem to be the kind of group that would allow facts to get in the way of political convenience or economic gain. So this seems like something Dimitri and the Eebs should keep to themselves.

   Pudg, no two species on earth share a common ancestor, so your point is kind of lost.

   Well, it would seem that the problem of creating non-telekenetic ebbs was solved some time ago.

   Eebs and Homo Sapiens come from the same stock… that explains why the little guys are so twisted.

   Pudgimelon, you’re not factoring in Earths’ Cetacea population

    HurDur, whales and hippos do, raccoons and pandas do, etc… it’s called evolution. Look it up.

    Dimitri has just realized that such a perfect satire of human nature as the Eebs can mean only one thing: He and everyone and everything he knows is actually fictional. The Irken armada will now arrive.

    Maybe that’s what happen to the dinosaurs, the Ebbs took exception to being eaten, so the Ebbs left Earth and dropped an asteroid on the dinos.
