Back To The Future

[Josh Smith]

Insects rule the Earth, that's for sure. We humans might think that we're the king of the hill, but when we're dead and gone (all of us), the Earth will look like it has for millions of years...swarming with insects! :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

[Josh Smith]

Hahaha! I wonder how long it would take before the thing got smashed to pieces. Wouldn't that be a "dark hour" for them? (Yes, I know that was cheesy. I do my best. :sigh: ). :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

A CD set of the Monty Python films... they're going to need some comic relief. :sigh:

La cucaracha! Those suckers can supposedly survive nuclear holocausts. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

I see you like your comedy with a side of irony, considering that they'd have no way to enjoy the CDs w/o a CD player. You are a cruel man! :-D :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

As Bradbury put it, we|d send them shoes, and make them pay for shoelaces. (or was it shoeshine? same idea)

...and if the atmosphere turns to pure methane and the oceans to sulfuric acid? Keith Richards may survive but cockroaches won't. ;) "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." - Martin Mull

Then I'll be forced to admit to myself that recycling is a good idea after all. :)

:laugh::laugh: what a cruel world we live in...come on, let the pre-humans live WITHOUT blowing up because of modern technology... rara avis in terris

I would send nothing. Without the tremendous infrastructure required to support it, there is no single piece of technology that would remain even marginally useful for long enough to matter. It would end up being a an object of religious worship, with lots of myths about what it used to do...

[Allen Anderson]

this is like the biggest open invitation for sarcasm I've ever seen. :) (for the record I'd send them twinkies, I hear they last forever and who wouldn't want that)

[Farhan Noor Qureshi]

b/c thats the thing they'd making for us when "grow up"??? :) Farhan Noor Qureshi if (this == this) thow this;

A portable/towable smelter. Of course, this is a trick question since many modern objects contain thousands of "pieces" of modern [and relatively modern] technology. A smelter, for example, would contain a free rotating axle; a very important invention. The smelting of metal itself is a huge leap forward in technology. The rubber of the tires would be vulcanized; that this is so wouldn't be immediately obvious, but I've sure the scientists of the other world would figure out rather quickly that something had been done. (And what about the profile of a gear of the simple gear; another huge leap in technology.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
