I read every now and then, bits and pieces from an interesting science site and this poses a thought provoking question....
"Digital doomsday: the end of knowledge

If I were to construct a time capsule for space aliens to find the items I'd place in it would be:
My motorcycle
My How To Take Over The World And Make Them Think It Was Their Idea Manifesto
Some blueberry muffins
My 3rd grade school picture
Tinfoil
My wifes cat
Marbles

Nomie, could you paste that photo on the little M&M Viking dancing dude so we all can see it? Maybe put up a poll like, "Does 'Hassenpfeffer Damnit!' really suit this guy?"
