    @ltethe: Would it have been TOO MUCH TO ASK for you to preface your damned comment with "SPOILER ALERT!"? Sheesh.

    It's urine. The magic ink is urine.

    As much as I'd like to think I'm invincible, I doubt I'll be around to read it, so why should I care?


    There will probably be a global holiday planed for the reading date!

    I love it.


    And honestly, I don't understand how anyone could hate it. Indifferent? Sure. But to actively dislike it?


    1) It's unique.

    2) It's interesting conceptually.

    3) It could even be a good story.

    4) It's a risk.

    5) It involves technology.

    6) It flies in the face of everything we do now.

    7) It actually calls upon ideas of the long-term, the epic, the nostalgic, and at the same time, the future - awesome concepts each, and sometimes contradictory ones.


    And most importantly?


    8) You are completely unaffected by it unless you choose otherwise.

    Not necessarily. If I end up wiping my ass today with this particular magazine cover, I don't want some lame story imprinting itself and then appearing on my carcass in 3009.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Hell, for all we know, it's heat that makes the ink appear. I can see the family now, gathered around the crematorium, laughing at the joke that just appeared between my butt cheeks.


    ...


    And I am SO gonna walk gingerly away from THAT setup...

    @bosskev: I'm still intrigued by this future you've conjured up, where the family can gaze upon the corpse of a relative as it's burn to a crisp, and then pulverized into powder in a translucent Pyrex Crematoritron 2000.

    @Cody Cook: No, no, May 29th, that was the date I meant to set an iCal alarm. You see, at age 1,053, I want to give myself plenty of time to get up from the couch and cross to the bookcase. I figure 2 days should do it.

    Never heard of this. Is it the magazine for the gentleman who frequents dank basements with Once Upon A Time In America DeNiro?
