See Wired Article here

Amazon.com Founder and others want to build a long lasting clock to promote long term forward thinking. And of course to make our descendants go WTF is this this for?

"Hey! What is this thingy?"

"I dunno. My Guide to the Early Digitalites Age says it's a 'clock'."

"What's a clock?"

"It's a thing for time."

"Time? What the fuck is a time?"

They most likely won't be speaking English.

It's a hell of an interesting engineering problem.

"Here is a clock."

"What is it miss?"

"It was a device used by the ancient Digital Peoples as a utility to worship the Time God, Late. Hundreds and thousands of these people flocked to worship the Time God, in order to 'buy them time' and to 'turn back the clock'. We know that these wishes were never fufilled."

"Isn't that stupid miss?"

"Now now, these Digital Peoples were not stupid. Now, turn to pg45 and we will learn about the great Apocalypse of the Climate Change."

^ Nein.

I'm only nitpicking because while, in cases like this, it's obvious where the error is, there's also things which are changed entirely by the presence of punctuation. Compare:

"Am I looking at my dinner, or the dog's?"
"Am I looking at my dinner, or the dogs?"

But yes, off-topic.

I apologize for being techy about it, but thank you.

I had a thought about the millennial clock. It is really an insane super project to prove the might and endurance of certain individuals...and to confuse future generations.
