Mexico Tells Yahoo to shove laser where sun don't shine

Yahoo said on Wednesday it dropped plans to use Mexico's Teotihuacan archaeological site for its much-hyped "time capsule" project after Mexico pretty much told Yahoo! to take a hike.

Duh? Sure, I'm not much of a believer in much of anything any which way, but walking along, and climbing the pyramids of Teotihuacan, well, kind of makes me think I'm supposed to believe in something--or at least I know other folks strongly did.
Come on Yahoo, take it to Sedona or the likes; you'll be welcome with opened arms.

Nah Matt the aliens will come along and take out Googleplex first cos it's the centre of your evil empire. ;)
may be realistic, though...
I dunno, Matt, maybe it's better for aliens to get a more realistic picture of the human race? If the capsule were to contain some of our info trash along with the rest, it might be a bit more representative.
Should we only try to put our best foot forward, or should we try to communicate a more representative picture of the human race?
It's kind of an interesting question, from an anthropological point of view...

You ALWAYS lie about yourself on a first date. Wait until you've known them a few months before you start farting and holding their heads under the cosmic covers
