Lets say you have something that is truly evil, and you don’t want anyone to ever come into possession of it again. Lets also say that you can’t destroy it, you just want to try to hide it so no one will ever find it again.
What would you do with it? What is the best way to make sure no one ever finds the object, or if they do, that they wouldn’t want to mess with it?
I would give it to my thirteen year-old and tell her not to lose it under any circumstances.
We’ll never see that sucker again.
I’d store it behind the book in Anna Nicole Smith’s book case. That dumb ass wouldn’t ever think of reading nor would anyone ever believe she actually owns a book.
Imbed it in a nice block of concrete, and drop in the Marianas Trench.
<insert joke here>
No problem. Wrap it in a disposable diaper, put it in a foam hamburger box, toss it in a landfill.
Seriously, a landfill would do quite nicely.
I dated her. :smack:
Seriously, I’d attach a camera to it and pass it off to NASA as one of those “Thomas Jefferson Junior High Space Experiment” things tat they’re always sending up as PR moves.
Box it up and mail it to Santa Clause, c/o The North Pole. It’ll get dumped in the corner of some warehouse and never seen again.
i say dust off and nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure
That’s about what I was thinking, but then I started wondering if I could get to the Marianas Trench easily enough… As long as humans are the ones around, slapping a nice radiation lable on it might not be a bad idea either. Problem is that this might only make some people more curious, and a simple non-descript block of concrete might be less tempting to mess with.
High dose radiation exposure, then noone is going near that sucker for millenia.
No, you can’t destroy it, because then you will RELEASE all the evil inside the box.
I vote for the Marianas Trench.
Since we’re only going there for 20 minutes at a time and it appears we’re not going any more often than every 50 years or so, it should be safe.
Encase in concrete, and then drop it into a subduction fault - burying the box under the Earth’s crust should keep it isolated for a geological period of time.
If you want to dump into into a deep trench, I would stay a Marianas Trench - the fact that it is the deepest place in the Sea assures that somebody will go poking around there again, (although it has currently only been done once, in 1960, for 20 minutes).
Instead, burying it in the 2nd deepest trench - who would go there?
I’ve been trying without luck to dig up the website describing how futurists want to build around the nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain; I think it’d be perfect for this. Anyone know where to find this freakish site?

Aha! This is the way to hide Pandora’s box!
Daniel
okay then, put it in the payload compartment of a rocket, set the coordinates for “out there, somewhere” and shoot it out into deep space
encase it in carbonite and hang it on the wall
use reverse psychology “extremely boring box of mundane paperwork, feel free to open it”
[Zoidberg] i lost it…in a volcano [/Zoidberg] (okay, technically destruction, but i wanted to use an amusing quote, is that so wrong? )
I’d put it in the middle of the pile of papers on the corner of my boss’s desk. Nobody ever looks there, especially her.
If I remember the tale right all the evil has already escaped from Pandora’s box and is loose in the world, all that’s left inside is hope which you’d probably want to keep.
So I’d just stick it in my bedroom closet. I’d never be able to get rid of it because I couldn’t find it again.
Ship it across town via the US Postal Service.
It will never be seen again.
