In the first case, yes. They are extraterrestrial.

In the second case, yes. The soup is extraterrestrial. In the third case, yes. The combo would be extraterrestrial.

I suppose the argument could be made that we are in fact the extraterrestrials. However, the original question asked about 'visiting', which to me implies a decision. Rightly or wrongly, my answer regards something making a conscious decision to visit Terra, meaning it came from someplace at least as far away as outside the breathable atmosphere..

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
