We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can

only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this

monumental reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoterica that would otherwise be lost.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you.

This is our time capsule.

This is the omnibus. Oh, You have accessed entry 714.1ch0910 certificate number 23082, the letter J. J. about the letter J? I mean it's the first letter of my name so I know you.

It's the first letter of my name as well, my last name. Oh Jennings, right.

It's fairly common letter in people's names.

But not in anything else as you would know if you played Scrabble.

That's right.

It is the fourth least often used letter only used less by ZQ and X and its Scrabble score is accordingly large.

It's 8, but it really, to me it should be as, it should be a 10 like a QX and z I'm an er or wait is x 8 I think yeah

cue and z or ten x and jay or eight is that right I mean we do use x's at least those of us in the adult video industry.

Sure.

Or those of us who put three Xs on a jug of corn liquor.

Right.

Three Xs is also the symbol of Amsterdam and I think maybe Chicago.

Really? Yeah. Well, three Xs for Amsterdam makes sense. Right. Or at least for that one district.

Three X is for Chicago, but I don't know what's going on there.
