There must be all sorts of crazy ass lifeforms out there.

One of billions of galaxies, but there are still many of those that cling to the idea that we are alone and unique in the universe. Ill venture a guess and say that just our galaxy alone is teeming with life. And not just single cell organisms and bacteria but intelligent life, and hopefully soon we will achieve communication with them. It would forever change our existence.
