thrush Anaheim, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 15, 2010 I heard that every so often, people get into a time capsule craze. Usually it's a waste of time. lol. Many capsules are lost because nobody remembers where they were buried. The ones that are opened tend to contain junk that isn't too interesting, like old newspapers and a few trinkets. Wow--this capsule had an old VHS tape. How cool.

Wow--this capsule had an old VHS tape. How cool. Well, if nobody remembers where the capsule was buried, you still have a chance of finding that bottle of brandy. Remember - Tutankhamen's burial chamber was found almost intact only because everybody forgot where it was. Of course, there were things more valuable than a bottle of brandy in that chamber...
