Earth 2.2.7

The aliens should have built a bigger ship.

I remember them decending on the cities. It was funny that everyone panicked because they were only here to pick up samples. You see, they were creating a miniature earth colony on one of their larger ships to study us.

They would pick up people of different trades, buildings, trees, and other useful things and place them in this large greenhouse-like section of the space vehicle.

The earth-town was okay - there was a subway, a few office buildings, a church, a bar, a swanky club, horses, some farmland -- a pretty good cross-sampling of what we have here.

Here is what they forgot: There are a lot of us here. Due to this large population and our teams of engineers with venture capital money we are able to create things like PowerBooks and the Segway.

Since the aliens only brought a few representatives and no venture capital from anywhere in the world the computers were not upgraded and the subway got rusty and rickety and it jerked back and forth between the loose rails. The tunnels got dusty like mining shafts. It was okay, though, while I was there.
