Coworker #3 has found a 4,000 year old Sumerian cheesecake recipe.
Coworker #1: "This man's making Gilgamesh's fucking cheesecake."
Coworker #2, reading it: "They put raisins in this??"
Me: "That's the cheesecake that got Gilgamesh's auntie banned from the cookout."
We are all completely insane.

The disc that was attached to the Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977.
In 1977 NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft, including a CD with the song Johnny B. Goode, on a mission to study the solar system & beyond.
The extraterrestrials who open it will get another CD every month from Columbia House at full price and be hounded for life by intergalactic debt collectors.
