If you’re the type of per­son who likes the idea of try­ing to send a mes­sage to whoever’s on this planet 50,000 years from now (and I know that I am), you might be inter­ested in adding a mes­sage to KEO. KEO is a satel­lite that some European space folks are toss­ing up to be a time cap­sule, which is designed to reen­ter and land 50,000 years from now, dis­gorg­ing a whole bunch of infor­ma­tion. They’re let­ting every per­son on the planet con­tribute up to 6000 char­ac­ters to be put into the cap­sule. I’m going to see if I can come up with some­thing good to add; I’m think­ing I’ll prob­a­bly put some­thing really inane in, like my joke about the two mon­keys that walk into a bar, the silly clown joke or some­thing similar.
