The best part will be if civilization falls, and future pre-industrial archeologists think it's a temple and excavate it.

Seems like that would require an awful lot of outdoor wi-fi (I hate that term!) broadcasts, even if the effect were to turn out to be real.

I'll eat pretty much anything that is tasty and not-too-immediately fatal.
