I think those whale-like sounds in the background are supposed to be reminiscent of what the aliens' speech sounds like?

One movie critic pointed out that the visual experience here reverses our usual expectations: darkness is the known, light is the frightening unknown.

Many evolutionary biologists and certain physicists (Stephen Hawking counted therein), are of the opinion that, if life exists on other planets, they likely closely resemble octopi or cephalopods, as is the case here

# data[].attributes.body
As far as we know, we have not made a huge amount of progress learning about whalesongs, and we have been sharing a planet with them for a while, so it does seem unrealistic to try to parse these aliens' sounds.

What kind of biology would allow them to "write" like this??

Would saying 'human' be like introducing own name?

Intriguing here is also the point that the aliens seem to speak with a written language, making the writing a possible L1. Given that most written language is not an L1, but rather an encoding thereof, it seems intriguing that this would be decided as the case for the alien communication.

The Abbott and Costello joke may be a reference to the classic "Who's on first" sketch, wherein wordplay and misunderstanding of complex names is the punchline.

Language production for them involves more physical and tangible production as they produce the sort of ink to shape their symbols.

So! Languages are generally not found to be circular due to spacial concerns, as is the case in this movie. However, many fictional languages (including this one and Gallifreyan) are circular, and cuneiform and certain ancient languages show evidences of this, such as the Fuente Magna bowl and other pottery writings. Thoughts?

It is a fact that the majority of people will walk to their right when they walk into a store. This is known as being the "invariant right" and is a result of most people being right-handed. Smart retailers keep this in mind when executing their merchandising strategies. By knowing the majority of the people walking through their doors will head towards the right, they are able to maximize this valuable floor space.

[tweetmeme] Suggested ways to help entice your right-handed, right-minded customers include the following:

1. Show off your "must see" products to the right of the store. This may include new arrivals, must have markdowns and great marketing pieces.

2. Offer baskets or other containers that customers can quickly pick up to start their shopping. If your store is filled with many smaller items, this is a must have. If your items won't fit appropriately in a container, no worries. Just make sure to let your customers know you are there to help keep their hands open (and shopping!) if they should get filled. Start a dressing room, put items on the cash wrap - you get the idea.

3. Avoid having your cash wrap display directly to the right of your store entrance. Customers will immediately walk towards you and instinctively, many will feel overwhelmed by the "in your face" approach since associates usually are standing by this area. Instead, position your cash wrap in the middle or back center of the store so you can see your store more clearly and most importantly, your customers can shop more comfortably.

4. Keep the traffic flow comfortable. If customers bear to the right when they first walk into a store, make sure there is room for them to do so. Allow for your floor plan to easily flow with a customer's natural walking path. Aisles should be clear and flowing so that customers will not have to wonder how to get from one place to the next. Let them just glide through the store so that they will enjoy their shopping experience longer - giving them more opportunities to buy!

5. Use strong visual displays that immediately captivate your audience. Sloppy shelves, unorganized hang bars and other lazy merchandising efforts will immediately leave an impression on customers if this is the first thing they see. Go out of your way to make sure this area always looks great.

If you are aware of how your customer shops, then you are more aware of how to help them. Watch how the customers move in and out of your store and see if there is a way to improve their time spent with you. Ask yourself if displays may be limiting their experience by preventing them to walk the store more comfortably. Determine if your customers are struggling with where to turn and what to do next in their shopping experience. Look beyond the right space in your store and analyze their entire experience. You just may be surprised at how a few changes can make a big difference!
