In 1957 students at the University of Washington put together a time capsule–pictures, newspapers, reel-to-reel recordings–and then sealed it into the wall of the Communications building. But apparently they didn’t seal it well enough: “Sometime in the early 1980s, the pranksters — unknown as yet — laid a pornographic centerfold atop the pile, and added other odd and obscene mementos to the mix [P-I].”

They’re replacing it with a new time capsule, filled with “digital media,” and, one hopes, in about 20 years a new round of additions. They’ll be showing the contents of both capsules at a party on Saturday, but I imagine the porn and dirty underwear will be left behind. Shame, really.
