Here's a reprint of an article originally posted by Henry Cate III, about
a year ago, in rec.humor.  It seems appropriate for this newsgroup.

YOUR CO-WORKER COULD BE A SPACE ALIEN, SAY EXPERTS ... here's how you can 
tell (by Michael Cassels of the "National Inquirer")
 
Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look human - 
but you can spot these visitors by looking for certain 
tip-offs, say experts.
 
They listed 10 signs to watch for:
 
1. Odd or mismatched clothes.  "Often space aliens don't fully 
understand the different styles, so they wear combinations 
that are in bad taste, such as checked pants with a striped 
shirt or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or sneakers," noted 
Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator and author.
 
2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits.  Space aliens might 
eat French fries with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of 
pills, the experts say.
 
3. Bizarre sense of humor.  Space aliens who don't understand 
earthly humor may laugh during a serious company training film 
or tell jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.
 
4. Takes frequent sick days.  A space alien might need extra 
time off to "rejuvenate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton, 
a theoretical biologist and futurist.
 
5. Keeps a written or tape recorded diary.  "Aliens are constantly
gathering information." said Steiger.
 
6. Misuses everday items. "A space alien may use correction fluid 
to paint its nails," said Steiger.
 
7. Constant questioning about customs of co-workers.  Space aliens 
who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask questions that 
seem stupid, Easton said.
 
"For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on 
the Fourth of July," noted Steiger.
 
8. Secretive about personal life-style and home.  "An alien won't 
discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at night or 
on weekends," said Steiger.
 
9. Frequently talks to himself. "An alien may not be used to 
speaking as we do,so an alien may practice speaking," Steiger noted.
 
10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near certain 
high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood change when a 
microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger.  The experts pointed out 
that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these 
traits before you can positively identify him as a space alien.
