SIGN UP TO PEDESTRIAN DAILY Thanks for signing up! I am probably being suckered by Wish here. I can only assume that their business model is to generate traffic by being deliberately obscure and that, in writing about their ads, I am playing right into their hands. I have to stress ‘assume’ here because I know nothing about Wish. I have never clicked on one of their ads and I never will. I have not looked them up and I shall not do so now.

SIGN UP TO PEDESTRIAN DAILY Thanks for signing up! In the 1970s, a committee of experts headed up by astronomer Carl Sagan began working on what would become the two golden records sent out far into space aboard the Voyager probes. These records were designed to — in the limited space available — communicate as much as possible about the human race in a way that could be understood by any aliens that happen to find them.
