That barely covers DC Comics from start to end.

Does it come with a warranty?

[JBW1949]

It will be found about 10,000,000 years from now by an ape-like creature who will eat it....

But this ultimate cliffhanger will not reveal the answer to the question of whether western civilization survives.

[Larry Lucido]

Future moon explorer.

> Part of the motivation for the far-out project is to leave a copy of humanity’s knowledge not just in the cloud, but far beyond the clouds, should the impacts of climate change or a potential nuclear war do us or the planet in at some point in the future.

Right. Climate change.

There’s no mention of Joy Behar on this, is there?

If any aliens see a photo of Joy Behar, they’ll fry this planet to a crisp!

[BenLurkin]

Perfect!

If it contains Obambi’s CD of speeches, the aliens will laugh themselves to death.

[going hot]

I thought that was what came out the rear end of the bere.

[Army Air Corps]

[DoodleBob]

[KarlInOhio]

The digitized layers include a full copy of Wikipedia,

The Wiki edit function will be difficult.

A great idea. But the Borg already have us under observation.

[BenLurkin]

Bored to death. They’ll be bored to death.

The UN will protest their obvious attempt to occupy the moon as soon as the lander touches down. Prorests will begin in Palestine. //Sarc//
