Greetings, Carbon-based Units! While monitoring your transmissions, we, the Aggregate of Interdimensional NavigatRs discovered that you, like us, are on a constant search for knowledge. Monitoring your communications has been educational. However, once a month when your moon passes between your earth and our planet, transmissions are briefly blocked. So each month after the moonpass we must contact you to get the information we missed.The most recent eclipse of your planet by its satellite prevented us from receiving the answers to the twenty questions listed below. The wormhole between our sectors allows us to tap into your internet for data, but we must have exact addresses (URLs) to access this data. Please provide the URLs we need. In return we will continue to advocate for Earth's membership in the P.o.P. (Pantisocracy of Planets). NavigatR JXH4.16.64

NavigatR™ universal translator is awaiting your answers at:

navigatr@homebase8.net

Thank you! Let the search begin!

Legal Notice: Universal Translator Unit WjxzqR - the newest unit available in any galaxy - requires that all answers should be written in complete sentence form. Correct spelling and proper grammar must be used. Furthermore, no answer may violate intellectual property rights of any sentient being from any known or unknown planet.
