Tips
Tips for aliens in New York:
Land anywhere. Central Park, anywhere. No one will care or indeed even notice.
Surviving
Get a job as a cabdriver immediately. A cabdriver's job is to drive people anywhere they want to go in big yellow machines
called taxis. Don't worry if you don't know how the machine works and you can't speak the language, don't understand the geography
or indeed the basic physics of the area, and have large green antennae growing out of your head. Believe me, this is the best
way of staying inconspicuous.
If your body is REALLY weird, try showing it to people in the streets for money.
Amphibious life forms from any of the worlds in the Swulling, Noxios, or Nausalia systems will particularly enjoy the
East River, which is said to be richer in those lovely life-giving nutrients than the finest and most virulent laboratory
slime yet achieved.
Laws
There are many interesting laws on the planet Earth. One strange law in particular is called a "speed limit".
On the planet Earth, mostly in the areas where the inhabitants wear digital watches, there are machines called "automobiles".
These are large plastic-metal-and-glass machines designed to move people about with a great deal of pollution. Although these
slow-moving machines have an average top speed of one hundred twenty miles per hour, the "speed limit" forces people
to drive at even slower speeds - in one country the top speed is a mere fifty-five miles per hour. This law is of course,
ignored by the general populace.
At one time, the local constabulatory force was able to hide behind signboards, trees, etc., with a radar to catch lawbreakers,
but this ability was taken away because the general populace did not want to give up their right to break the law
