Send your name to Mars

Daren

Get your name included on a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory rover heading to Mars in 2011!

I've added my name:

Carry on.

There's a reason why I am on the Do Not Call List ... and now they're going to be handing out personal information nilly-willy to the Martians?!?!?!

Nay, I say, NAY!

:-x

Forget that, not giving my name or details.

Next second i'll be getting emails from ZOG offering me 12,0000 plazar credits if i help him bank some money etc and if i pay the bond i'll be rich etc etc.

I only put my name and country, didn't bother with zip code :-P

What A Load Of Bollocks! :lol::lol:

The world distribution map is interesting... I wonder why Brazilians are so interested in sending their names to Mars? After the United States, Brazil is the next biggest participant...

I do like the name "curiosity". It would fit in with my server/workstation hostname scheme (currently I have shocked, serendipity, vexed(4), hope, feared, poleaxed and the odd one out, providence)

This is great!

Every fecker I hate is going on this baby!!

Shame it's not "Send Your Wife To Mars"...

XTM of TMG

I could not resist ... though I am probably not the only one who did ... ;)

Nice!

How many spec-chums can you fit on a chip? - hope we see some more. :D

Why would I want to send my name to Mars? I'm fed up with advertising bastards knowing my name back here without worrying about Marvin the Martian and his chums bombarding me with marketing campaigns from outer space. Sounds like an elaborate scam to me!

They probably put the names in a word document and copy it onto a USB flash drive and lob it in at the last minute...

I hope someone takes the list off at the last minute and puts that rick astley song on it instead. that'd show our martian overlords a thing or too!!
