Somewhere back there, somebody at topaz (having now narrowed the domain to the 
known univers :-) ) mentioned how Earth is brighter than the Sun in certain
frequencies.  Note that Earth cannot be the brightest object in the system,
as that would require coming up with more energy than the Sun produces --
continuously.  

	In any case, consider the following line of logic:
	1. certain microwave bands which are used to communicate
	   more information farther are brighter than the Sun
	2. The quest for open EM frequencies and more power
	   (remember the 5 watt limit!) still goes on, with
	   a very high rate of competition.
	3. Eventually a noticeable percent of the frequencies used 
	   by man will outshine the Sun.  The number and width of
	   frequencies also continues to grow.
	
	Parallel line of logic:
	1. People are predominantly diurnal.  Thus, Terran EM emissions
	   vary with time of day, season, and other purely arbitrary *LOCAL*
	   factors.

	Therefore, the Sol Systems' EM radiation levels vary noticeably 
	at (to an unsuspecting alien) apparently random intervals.
	Now, what are the Super-variable stars that are currently giving
	the astronomers and physicists headaches?  Quasars and Pulsars! Why?
	Because Quasars and Pulsars *RADIATE EM PATTERNS WHICH ARE HIGHLY 
	VARIABLE IN CONCENTRATION, CONTENT, AND DISTRIBUTION, AND APPARENTLY 
	VARY RANDOMLY AT RANDOM INTERVALS!*  Working from the likelyhood that
	Earth will continue to radiate more EM in more range and with more
	power, *ENENTUALLY EARTH WILL APPEAR TO BE A QUASAR OF SORTS!*

	Maybe we've already found some of the other intelligent races in
	the multiverse and just don't know it!  BTW, does anyone remember
	how much EM Trantor put out???
