MAKE ENERGY FAST! Simply send 10^20 hydrogen atoms to each of the
systems on this list, then remove the bottom system and add your
five-space address at the top... within 4 galactic revolutions, you too
will be able to run a stellar fusion program...

And, as someone's pointed out, the first things we ever sent off to
interstellar space were pictures of nekkid people... g
