There's actually been ~7 wow signals, and we still have no idea what any of them are..
Speaking of which, what's up with the "ladies" reaction to Juan Pablo. The guy's as dumb as a sack of rocks.
Had to look that up; it would appear you are making a Bachelor reference.. You can still redeem yourself by claiming that a significant other made the post..

7?? In what kind of time lapse?
Not duplicates of the specific, original Wow Signal, rather instances where some unusually complex signal was received that couldn't be accounted for, via the SETI@Home program, which has been running for ~15 years. It's probably going to happen a lot more often as computers continue to get exponentially faster and chew through more data. I remember back when I upgraded from a 486 PC to a Pentium II; the individual data "batches" that used to take 40 hours now took 4 - and of course a current smartphone is much faster than both of those computers put together..
Now, proving it's not a case of putting a thousand monkeys in a room with a typewriter thing might be a little tougher...
Almost certainly all remnants of deep space phenomena we aren't familiar with (though I'm just hedging my bet so I can say I was right in the negative instance and be pleasantly surprised otherwise..)
I personally believe extra-terrestrials communicate through more sophisticated means or by telepathy and, if they ever did use narrow-band signals, their technology evolved past that too long ago and therefore those signals are already past us. That or they're too far off for us to pick up more than just Wow-type tidbits
I doubt that stepping on a land mine that has been laid ages ago not knowing if anyone would ever step on it would qualify as actual "murder" to your "Pre-Cogs"
(she would already know if she were going to step on a land mine..)
