Yeah I assumed "high seas" just meant the waves were big, not "high" as in hundreds of kilometres upwards. Well we'd better be careful where we shine laser pointers if this all decides to happen.

The hubris of claiming ownership of most of the galaxy because it's above our little piece of rock aside, I liked the thought exercise.

I am now imagining that Earth falls under the night sky of some distant planet and we fall under their dominion as a result. They just haven't gotten around to implementing their rule over us because of some stupid thing like spiders on our planet make it too difficult to impose. Or the Star Trek Whale thing. ๐Ÿ˜†
