    Would be cool if we discovered intelligent life on a planet orbiting the bright star Vega and learned that they're all Vegans

        Can we figure out the people on this planet first? They're more alarming than any possible alien life form.

        Thank you Lani, but you're 0 for 1 in the paying attention department. Not a great sign. Check the name & profile pic a bit closer.

        If there are Vegans on Vega and no Non-Vegans around for them to tell, are there actually Vegans?
