The Kiss Your Ass Goodbye award of the month goes to the good people who found the Time Capsule left from the Bellvue Hospital Medical College that had been just chilling in a cornerstone since 1897.
Thats 114 years to you and me…..Back when they called cars horseless-buggies, there was no professional sports other than bareknuckle boxing, and no one had heard of social security.
Well boys and girls, inside the time capsule was various papers, trinkets etc. (Elect McKinley President!) which is groovy. Put it in a display somewhere and tell the locals all about it with a plaque in the lobby of the new building.
What was also in the capsule, was “a test tube that had some bacterial spores in it that were gotten and cultured from a patient in 1896″
and according to the article on NYC’s CBS affiliate : http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/10/07/time-capsule-found-at-former-bellevue-hospital-medical-college/
A nice microbiologist is going to open it and check them out….and is ” is trying to wake up those spores and grow them so they can study the organisms.”

These things have been in exile for a century. How can this be good? What if they are for a common cold that was around in 1896 that everyone had the anti-body for and it died out quietly. This cold, reintroduced to a population six generations removed, may be our time’s new black death, ready to clean the slate.
Sure I am most likely over-reacting, but what if im not?
Why couldn’t the good people who found it just quietly slipped the test tube into a furnace somewhere.
Oh well, see you in the funny papers
