A while ago, Forbes.com ran an experiment they dubbed the Email Time Capsule. Basically, it was designed to allow you to send yourself (or someone else) a massively time-delayed email. By the time it was delivered (twenty years from now), it would be a message from the past. With that in mind, here are my top five potential (ab)uses for the Forbes Email Time Capsule System:
5. Freaking out relatives with an email from beyond the grave.
4. Driving yourself to insanity by sending a love letter you *think* you won't mind someone reading in five years.
3. Confessing to crimes after the statute of limitations for prosecution has passed.
2. Making one last blog post via a Blogger email address.
And the number one use for the Forbes Email Time Capsule:
1. Clogging up the system with undeliverable mail because who keeps the same email address for twenty years?

PS - Comments on other uses for the system are welcome.
PPS - Unfortunately, the email time capsule is now closed.
