I still get goosebumps when I listen to some of the greetings on the "golden record" and imagine someone out there listening to it one day: http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/greetings.html

""Friends of space, how are you all? Have you eaten yet? Come visit us if you have time." That is NOT the sort of message I'd send to ETs. What if they mistake humans for food? ;-)
That was my exact reaction when I read that greeting. It almost seems like an invitation for them to consume as a regular dinner.
