A time capsule is to be buried beneath the Greenwich Dome containing the 12 most popular symbols and icons of today's youth. 25,000 children are expected to nominate their favourite object for inclusion in the capsule, which will be dug up by their grandchildren in 2050. Hot contenders for inclusion are Teletubbies, Tamagotchis, Action Man, Spice Girls records and Reebok training shoes. It seems unlikely that the Bible will be considered for inclusion.
All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The time capsule is also to contain 2000 essays from children about their hopes for the new millennium. Our hope should be that the young would pick up and read their Bibles.
