A fun short story introducing the sights & wonders of Chicago to those unfamiliar with the city through the unique experience of an alien invasion threatening to destroy human civilization unless Liz & Dave can come up with some examples of humankind's great, unique achievements and accomplishments that make us worth sparing.

Stragne but better then the first one of him I read, it had its funny moments but other moments weren't that good, I liked the beginning but it lost it's sting after a while...
Best quote: "we are here to kill all the humanity, but we will continue to feed your cats... they are adorable!! So if you don't have a cat go and get one quick"

Okay, now I want pizza!

Great dialogue and well worth reading.

Very cute and very silly (and very mandatory) tour of Chicago. Mandatory because otherwise the aliens will destroy all humans.
