lol,
Using a radio waves transmitter that sends voice messages to outer space, a Pennsylvania company is enabling people to launch belated goodbyes to lost loved ones, words of comfort to missing pets or birthday wishes to a family member...
Endless Echoes (http://www.endlessechoes.com/), which began operation formally this month, allows people to dial a telephone number and record a one-minute voice message. It's then transmitted into space via a radio dish in Germantown, Md., and theoretically travels forever at the speed of light.
(er, until it`s absorbed by dust and gas)
[How many light bulbs does it take to screw up an astronomer?]

I think I'd rather have my message transmitted in binary pulses of neutrinoes. Let's see those things get absorbed by dust!
Erm...but they're kinda hard to detect, too. :-P

Er... how do they know it`s pointing in the right direction?
Do they re-align the dish for those who`re spending time in purgatory ?
