I've discovered a way to break into the AOL
unbreakable plastic containers, remove the
worthless AOL disk, which I then use as a
coaster, and place a just-minted DVD copy
in there for safekeeping. I then put them in
a temperature-controlled vault for the next
millenium, and presto, my ancestors appear
with the only copy of "The Illiad" to be found
on the planet in 3005.
