I thought those were standard in Greyhound buses these days. :-D

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...

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)

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.

The wheel - keep it simple. Anything much more advanced than that and they'd have no idea what to do with it.

Now that's a variation on this idea I hadn't considered, actually sending a Greyhound bus to the other planet! That opens up entire new paths for sarcasm and wit. :cool: :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

225 years ago, we set an example for the rest of the world by creating a country where everyone could vote...
Well, except for women and black people, but we fixed that!

Funny I was mountain biking yesterday and my mind was drifting as it does when riding and I was for some reason wondering what influence there would be on human history if we could somehow send a mountain bike back to a time where people were still intelligent enough to at least grasp the concepts and extrapolate from them.

A car. Then look at their reaction when it runs out of gas. (you didn`t mention having to pass it through the Greyhound bus door, did you?)

Some kind of holy book, for sure. I'm not that good at writing, but sure I could write something that actually makes sense as is, without interpretations. Something that tries to convince them that every problem can be solved with clever thoughts and love. Of course, this may require some trickeries (like burning bushes or thunders) to convince them I'm a real God. Dunno about the bus, but if I could travel so far I probably would have some ACME box for thunders :-D Luca The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance.
