Nerds at work

So you know how NASA's Voyager space probes carry a Golden Record:

The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Dr. Sagan and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds, such as those made by surf, wind and thunder, birds, whales, and other animals. To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in fifty-five languages, and printed messages from President Carter and U.N. Secretary General Waldheim.

Maybe they should've sent this poster instead, which compares the size of starships from Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, etc. (I like, by the way, how Wikipedia entries about these movies and shows read as if they're real).

Somewhere out there is an alien civilization, laughing.
