    The Voyager has an engraving of what humans look like and a map of from whence it came.Basically it says " Attention all advanced civilizations: If you’re looking for good strong slaves, here’s where to find them."

    Did he get interest for those years, and what about a late fee?

    There was an old SNL sketch about psychics in which Steve Martin’s character predicts the finding of Voyager by intelligent beings. Their message to the people of Earth: “SEND MORE CHUCK BERRY!”

    Does anyone remember the old Twilight Zone story, “To Serve Man?” Also, beware of strangers bearing gifts—The Trojan Horse, for example.

    Considering how much radioactive material that is on board, it actually says. “Warning: Nuclear Armed and Extremely Dangerous!” This is the real reason aliens have not contacted us…

    Canadian Liberals can’t wrap their brains around the idea of a joke.I remember as a kid, seeing a show on the space probe with the human figures and thinking it was a bad idea. It barely left the solar system, and if it’s ever found it will be millions of years from now.

    Contrary to the usual calculations of how much a library fine could amount to after X number of years, most libraries actually limit the maximum late fee to replacement cost of the item.

    “To Serve Man” is still shown from time to time on the Sci Fi channel when Twilight Zone episodes are shown.
