# IN THIS DAY and age, it's comforting to know that you can get US$10 mln
insurance against being abducted by aliens. The UFO Abduction and Casualty
Insurance Company, of Florida "has boldly gone where no Insurance Company
has gone before". FOR US$19.95, plus shipping, you get a personalised,
framed policy which includes a Frequent Flyer Endorsement and claim form
"which requires the signature of an Authorised Onboard Alien". You can get
double indemnity insurance if "a) the aliens insist on conjugal visits; b)
the encounter results in any offspring ever referred to as The Next
Missing Link": http://www.smh.com.au/news/0001/04/text/column8.html
: Are you insured against abduction? Should/must/will you be? Is it too late
already? Is alien abduction a normal risk of modern life? Is it amortized??
