Within that box I would put a key and a note that simply says " The treasure is 30 feet from here" and nothing else. There would be no treasure, I would just want to watch that person go crazy searching for it.

I'd fill it with fine imported beer from Germany, Ireland, The Czeck Republic, some fine Belgian "Monk" ales, and my favorite micro-brews from here in the states.
Why ? Because if I run out of beer I'm gonna crack open the time capsule and let "future generations" buy their own beer. :D

Don't forget to read the rules on what entry you want considered. It's a requirement. ;)

Official entry :- :D


i would fill it with,
a. one HDD containing porn, teach them how we did it in the old days
b. one bottle of champaign (so they can have vintage champaign when they enjoy)
c. one bottle of wine (similar reason as the champaigne)
d. a sperm sample, preserved well(so that they can clone me and i can enjoy the champaign and wine too)
e. a note saying what i expect the world to be like when they open the box, just to give them the lulz.
f. and my address in recent time with 3d space co-ordinates, so that they can send me/visit me in a time machine, if that has been invented by then :D

i think that would fill up the 2X2X2ft cube, considering the semen-preserving-equipment will take up quite a bit of space.

just for the lulz again i will collect the semen from 5 faps and label it as one single fap ;)

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Sooooooooooooooooooo lets see 2x2x2...

KISS. One item covers everything.

A PC one can connect to the 'web'. However I would have the PC with a BSOD backround to mind F whoever opened it. :)

Not a winner, but I hope it made someone smile.

Honestly there is no way to justify my existence. I just ride through life and admire shiny objects and touch myself........and sometimes try to win Internet contests.

I launched Steam this morning and it loaded up fine.
I then noticed that when I called up the section that shows me what I've gifted to other people that it was not showing anything recent.

:roll: i too was gettin my fault fixin brain ingear then ya git, i spat coffee on me KB:)

in that box id place a box, and in that box id also place a slightly smaller box repeated add nauseum, then in the very last box id place a chinese lucky fortune cookie

and in that fortune cookie id have a note wrote saying "'' if your society has managed to create time travel machines can you please go back to 1995, and slap george lucas into either not bothering or doing properly the 3 new star wars, ty in advance:)"" <consider this:)


reason why the hell not, i might get some decent films out it:)

Aside from Guinness, I see little we produce that is worthy of that company, at least as far as beer goes. Whiskey, now that's a different matter, after all we invented it and, unlike the Scottish, are aware of how it is spelled.

If you want a post to be considered your offical entry, note it in that post.
If you guys think I am going to try to cross-reference posts to see who followed the rules you're sadly mistaken. :p

Carry on !!

I see you have a problem with steam...
well...


I would...
Stash select bottles of drinks from whiskey to fine wine and label them elixir's of immortality,
a few shots of select hard liquor like Bacardi 151 and name them shots of truth,
bury select buds of cannabis and LSD and name them incense of clarity (Hypothetically),
store pills of caffeine and label them as aids to sleep, dormancy,
A few bottles of viagra and label them vitamins for tranquility,
A couple of man's greatest playboy magazines,
and a poster that reminds our descendants to enjoy responsibly.
