What three items would you place in a time capsule to help future generations understand you? Submitted By mausengeist View 228 Answers

...oh, wait - it's future human generations! That makes things simpler!

I'd say the following would be quite informative of my personal habits and development:

1. Imre Lakatos, Proofs and Refutations.
   
2. Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport 2.
   
3. Hergé, The Adventures of Tintin: Red Rackham's Treasure.

If the videogame is out, substitute Abramowitz and Stegun.
