What would you put in a 100 year time capsule?

I was wondering what some of you would put in a time capsule that would be opened in 100 years from now in the year 2107? Here is what would go in my time capsule and some of the reaction to my choices... ONE OF MY CREDIT CARDS---In one hundred years credit cards will no longer exist. In the year 2075 the world will rebel at the fat cat bankers and their high interest rates. There are organized protests all over the world and credit cards are thrown into huge fires along with statements and those "switch your payments to us and save oddles of money letters," go in the fire as well. People all over the world declare bankruptcy at the same time and all credit card debts are forgiven and credit cards are abolished for good. Bankers no longer get those obscene bonuses every year and instead get a turkey for a Christmas bonus. A PICTURE OF MY '91' FIREFLY AND A MAP---I can't kill my Firefly with a stick. It just runs and runs and runs as it nears 350,000 kms. Now it is more rust then paint, but still it goes and goes with no end in sight. I think I will drive it for another 20 years and then hide it. The map will tell whoever finds my time capsule where to find the car. Whoever finds it can keep it and drive it for another 500,000 kms. All they will have to do is convert the car to handle the fuel of choice in 2107.....water. A PICTURE OF A BALD BRITTANY SPEARS---Dozens of bald people will hover over my time capsule as nobody has hair anymore. Everyone is bald from all the nuclear plants that are providing most of the energy in 2107. When they see the bald Brittany, they will amazed at how far ahead of her time she was and will blow up her picture and worship her as the first "bald goddess." Just goes to show, no matter what Brittany does, she still keeps her fan base. A PACKAGE OF CIGARETTES---As soon as they see the cigarettes, everyone recoils in horror. Some run away screaming. Some poke at it with a stick. Some people throw up. They have heard of these evil tobacco things, but never seen them before. Smoking has been outlawed for over 75 years. Finally someone calls the "combustion control" station and help soon arrives. The package is carefully placed in a concrete bunker and blown into a pulpy mess. Then it is put into a sealed box and blasted out into space never to be seen again. I may have to re-think sending cigarettes. Tell me....What would you put in your time capsule...and why?

I would put important memories inside it. Memorabilia of the era I was born and thing's I've grown up around. As well as pictures I've taken of places and my family etc. A few saved copies of videos onto dvds, like my favouirte episode of transfers. Generally things like this =) Kudos ~Joey This really should have more responses buddy =)

You have really thought this out....something I need to do to meet your expectation in terms of properly entering this discussion. Two of yours I would disagree with are the Brittany Spears picture and ciagarettes, although I understand and respect your expressed reasoning. You are right on to select some slice of life type of items. I am also happy to learn from you that credit cards will not exist in the future. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long for the predicted revolt!
