NASA placed time capsules aboard the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. These capsules included data about the solar system, Earth, human anatomy, mathematics, units of measurement and other bits of important information that might be of universal interest. Not stopping there, the UN and NAIC placed various images aboard the capsule, hoping to provide a wide-ranging and multi-faceted glimpse into the life and times of the human race. Everything was encoded on a record, complete with instructions on how to decipher the data.

One can only wonder what some spacefaring alien race will think when they encounter "Demonstration of licking, eating and drinking".

That's really a pic from last weekend's dinner party, eh? Looks like everyone was hopped up on goofballs.
