How can we fight back during an alien invasion? (part 2 )


Discern a weakness. Did the aliens travel millions of light years to invade Earth—a planet with two-thirds of its surface covered in water—only to discover they are allergic to water? Ok, not a brilliant move by aliens that have developed the technology to travel at faster-than-light speeds, but if that's their weakness, be sure to stock up on bottled water, water guns, and have the garden hose ready (or leave lots of half-filled glasses of water sitting around. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch M. Night Shyamalan's “Signs.”) You can also hope that they didn't bring any pharmaceuticals and just leave it to Earth's micro-organisms to defeat them—the common cold might give us the sniffles, but to alien physiology, it could be lethal! (War of the Worlds, both Welles and Speilberg versions)
