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

Books last for centuries. Computer memories last only decades. If disaster struck, how much of our knowledge would future humans be able to retrieve?"

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?"
