well, according to some folks out there, it may not be all that bad. Read this . We'll definitely see tomorrow at Noon CST for the removal and 7 PM for the unveiling. We'll see.

I love this quote from the article

The time capsule was opened briefly Wednesday so hazardous-materials crews could inspect the contents, which include 10 gallons of gasoline and 5 quarts of motor oil placed inside in case internal combustion engines became obsolete by 2007.

lol i thought the same thing... i think what they meant to say was we shouldve drain all of the fluids like the gas and oil but since we were stupid and left them in here is some extra so that you can change it hahah... i wounder if that gas is leaded??? hmmm but any ways i think they shouldve spent more time worrying about the design of the capusle...

well, the ppl were ALMOST right about the engine being obsolete: we have mass marketed hybrid, electric, and propane vehicles now. Almost.

Yeah,
It seems it would have made much more sense if they had only built an ABOVE ground vault and sealed it.

ok while reading some more i found out what they burried with the car

Also buried with it were 10 gallons of gasoline — in case internal combustion engines became obsolete by 2007 — a case of beer, and the contents of a typical woman's handbag placed in the glove compartment: 14 bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, a lipstick, a pack of gum, tissues, a pack of cigarettes, matches and $2.43.

my question is whats up with the tranquilizers??? confused lol
