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 1350 dot G. E.907 certificate number 3872, Universe 25.

Would you say that you have a strong sense of personal space or do you have I mean I don't know if these are like strong and weak nuclear forces but like

Do you feel like your personal space is sacrosanct?

I know the only time I ever noticed this is when there's a cultural collision I'm in a line or in Romania. Yeah I was going to say Poland.

Why is it the Eastern Europeans that we're going to just slag on first?

Let's say Pakistan.

I have, you know, I can think of specific stories of like being in line for an attraction in Paris in Tiananmen Square with people whose sense of personal space is you pack every space and maybe it's because like you know Poland and

China in the 20th century had something in common like if you didn't keep your place in line

maybe you didn't eat that day right?

Oh wow.

Oh yeah yeah I'm anti-communist now John no more of this tanky crap on our show.

Wow where's my compatible with Marxists?

Waiting in line, super compatible with Marxism.

I feel like compatible Marxism sign is buried under all of these expensive consumer goods people keep sending us.
