Alumni get nasty surprise as UW opens time capsule

[Kevy Baby]

As they cracked the capsule Thursday afternoon, University of Washington research team members expected to find a prim and proper package from the nifty 1950s.

What they got was a faceful of pornography, circa 1978, and dirty underwear.The whole story (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/313431_timecapsule27.html).

Hey Wendybeth: what were you doing in the 80's?

[JWBear]

Oh, those wacky college students!

[innerSpaceman]

Next they''ll be trying to see how many Playboy centerfolds, shriveled-up condoms and double dildoes they can squeeze into a phone booth. :rolleyes:

[blueerica]

Haha! I thought that was pretty great.

[€uroMeinke]

Brilliant

[CoasterMatt]

Sounds like the time I put a certain picture in the church bulletins...

Uhm, I'm not sure I remember. When did they get rid of Quaaludes?

[Morrigoon]

Haha... cute prank. Glad they didn't remove the original items, but bloody brilliant to add more :evil:

[RStar]

At least they left the original items intact. But I think it's a shame that they had no respect for the original intent of these folks. A time capsul is suppose to remain sealed until opened by the ones who sealed it. It's just not cool for someone to mess with that.

[innerSpaceman]

Yeah .... so then perhaps putting time capsules on college campuses (campusi?) is not such a hot idea.

[Alex]

Did they open the unopened letter to Linda Ronstadt?

[RStar]

Linda who?

;)

[Kevy Baby]

Did they add a letter to Linda Lovelace? It would have fit into the theme and RStar would know who it was.
