[quote]The mayor and museum director were excited by the discovery of a metal cylinder and bottle in the rubble of the quake that hit Christchurch a week ago
Two objects believed to be time capsules have been discovered in the aftermath of last week's ruinous earthquake in New Zealand.
A glass bottle with a parchment inside and a metal cylinder were found by rescuers searching the grounds of the cathedral in the city of Christchurch.
They were in the base of a statue of John Robert Godley, the Irishman credited with founding Christchurch.
Mayor Bob Parker called the timing of the find "inspirational".
The items were uncovered almost exactly a week after the 6.3-magnitude quake struck.
The bodies of 154 people have been recovered, but it is feared that the death toll could eventually reach 240.
The bronze statue had toppled off its stone plinth outside the cathedral, and a crane operator's discovery of the two objects inside the plinth caused immediate excitement, said reports.
Two words were visible on the rolled-up parchment inside the glass bottle - "by" and "erected" - but it will only be opened and examined in detail by experts in a humidity-controlled environment.
The contents of the metal cylinder remain a complete mystery.[/quote]

Someone needs to plant that ASAP.
The parchment is really a bunny.
Better put it back... in the bottle...
It read the following:
Dear New Zealander:
If you are reading this you broke my statue.
Fuck you.
Sincerely,
John Robert Godley

Obviously faked, seems to be using some sort of 21st century slang.

"ur a faget"
Wow, this is really cool. I wonder what is says.
I laughed so hard at these posts at almost choked on my lollipop.
It's a journal, detailing the coming and going of an alien group known to the New Zealanders only as the Combine.
Maybe it's just a bottle and a metal cylinder.
It's John Robert Godley's Duke Nukem Forever pre-order receipt
