You better move over

By the way, you can call us "Earthlings" for show

I think we should call it "Artemis."

I think Earthzillas has a better ring to it!

Selene (Greek), Luna (Roman), Arma (Hittite), etc.

But you should hear some of the other nicknames they have for us.

So, we are really dirt-backs :P

(I'm a native Terran, by the way ;))

this guy Joe Earth?

:P

By the way, the naming of Earth to Dirt comes from a Stainless Steel Rat book, and I highly recommend the series :D

There are so many books now; I stopped reading the series in the early 80s. Harry Harrison wrote it :)

The thing is, every known species falls under that label.

:shrug:

Much of the earth is rocky underneath the water.

by Earthlings........

Most of the planet is water, ice and desert.

We live on the planet Dirt.

or something.

foreigners, Terrans or not.

And the Terran Empire!

...how many planets there are that call themselves "Earth" or "World"? Intelligent civilization tends to be pretty self-centered. Or just not that creative. ;)

They are from Qo'noS.

Humans are the species. Any creature from earth could be an Earthling.
