Comment on Kpax

FYI: You posted on your site to report errors, and I've included some
statements I think are erroneous concerning the film "K-PAX":

"His version of his own language is like an African 'clicking' tongue. His
descriptions of his 'alien' life are very specific while being completely
vague. While he can speak perfect English he doesn't know how to eat a
banana."

Actually, the language he was speaking was not his own, but rather another
alien tongue. The point Prot was making was that English isn't a hard
language to learn, that he (Dr. Powell) should try speaking 'this' (alien
language). Also, maybe  it's more efficient and nutritious to eat an entire
banana rather than peeling it first.  An alien from a more advanced society
probably wouldn't waste the nutrition of fruit by throwing away it's rind.
Knowing how a human eats a banana doesn't change your eating habits if
you're from a more advanced civilization, right? Or maybe K-PAXians enjoy
the peel. Some people throw the tails of fried shrimp away, but I eat 'em!
And how exactly can one be very specific and completely vague at the same time? That takes some talent.
