I’m not much of a gambling man, but one thing I’d bet my life on is that future humans will have the power to reincarnate anybody with just a single strand of their DNA.  The documentary “Jurassic Park” pretty much proves it.  For those of you that agree with me, there is a way to safely store your DNA so that humans of the future can bring you back to your former glory and watch you sulk around eating Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey in your underwear.
It’s called the Deep Storage Project, and it is happening this year.

A gigantic steel sculpture, 8 by 8 by 8 meters, filled with blood and hair samples from 5,000 wiling ‘investors’ from around the world will be lowered 11,000 meters below us into the Marianas trench. Sound crazy? That’s because it is. But I have to admit that as pointless as it sounds, it intrigues me as much as other, similar time capsule projects. According to the Deep Storage Project’s website, the rationale behind the project is that:

Science is progressing faster than the greatest philosophers dare to predict, so who’s to say that there won’t be a point in the future when these samples can’s be utilized to bring people and endangered species back to life? It could be 500 to 100,000 years from now. Who knows? But this is a chance to be there when it happens! How will we have evolved? How will humans be different?

The Deep Storage Project will place a total of five identical sculptures all around the world, at the deepest points of the planet’s oceans. The team will also be placing sculptures on land as a ‘testament to the myth of the ocean stored versions.’ Whatever that means.
