    Limited to the size of a normal sized Pringles can.

    I'd put in:
    Front page of a broadsheet and a tabloid
    Bus ticket
    Gig ticket
    Cinema ticket
    Coins
    A 45 clip
    A pencil
    A rubber

    €20. Just to see their reaction when they see a worthless piece of of currency that went out of circulation 195 years ago.

    I'd put myself in there, completely buck naked, covered in feathers and I might glue a horn to my forehead. I'm pretty sure that would confuse the feck out of some archaeologists.

    Both dinosaur and caveman bones, one of the crystal skull props from the latest Indiana Jones film, and a hoverboard prop from Back to the Future. Mess with the future people a bit, why not?

    Also a variety of photos of me photoshopped with world leaders with a burger king crown on my head, and a screenshot of my Boards profile.
    And a crazy frog plush toy.

    Cannisters containing Hydrochloric acid that are primed to detonate when the capsule is opened....


    ....and maybe a 28k Modem.......and a picture of hipsters to show how daft their "style" is compared to sleek, glittery silver one-piece suits they'll have in the future.

    A Jedward CD, and the front page of the Newspaper that called them "Heroes"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,076 ✭✭✭✭LordSutch


    A mobile phone (inc charger) with a 4 Gig micro card stuffed full of all kinds of media, pictures of the family, a CD album collection, video clips of your house + public transport + pictures from all round the world + all kinds of relavent things that will be of interest to those who open the container in 200 years time! the front pages of todays papers, Times/Guardian/ Inde etc, + a digital watch (that should give them a laugh) + some tea bags + a sixty watt bulb + a pair of spectacles + some Euro/£ currency . . .

    That lot should fill the Pringles container :)

    Will the flash memory survive 200 years in the ground? I think most digital storage has a self life which makes it bad at long term storage.

    Given world population has gone up more than 7 times in the last 200 years, if this trend continues I would forecast world population at 49,000,000,000 in 200 years time. I would put in an apology for literally ****ing up the world. Maybe a condom as well and a list of those who oppose its use.

    n.b make sure your time capsule is in a waterproof container, so rising sea levels / climate change may not damage it.

    All the horse racing results from the past decade and all the lottery numbers too, with a little note saying:

    "A present from the past, get rich and enjoy!".

    Just to play with their heads like.

    I think hair would last 200 years for cloning.
    Also a mini bottle of whiskey would be nice to find after 200 years
