I never given much thought to making a

rubber alien. In order to take on such a

task, you need some "face to face" time

with the real aliens, so instead of sketches

or drawings, you have the desire to

re-create what you saw in a "rubber-

look-a-like". I wouldnt have the first clue

how to shape "rubber" in a form that was

recognizable but in China with a billion population,

you will have some farmers with this skill

and seeing first hand...aliens. So I think

this is worthy news item.
