Introduction

We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can only assume is your distant past. Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this monumental reference of strange and obscure human knowledge. These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoteric that would otherwise be lost. So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions, this is our legacy to you. This is our time capsule. You have access to the 1, 4, 5, 5.1, 4, 3, 5. Certificate number 4, 2, 2, 4, 0. Saul
