You may find a "secret wall tattoo"!

2. that is so cool.
can't wait to stay in a hotel now... although, chances are I will not find any. I could say I would make my own, but I am no artist.

6. I do this, sort of
I am in construction an will regularly bury today's newspaper in a wall, behind a furnace, etc. I figure it will be about 40 years before anyone finds them but it should spice up their day.

Apparently, this has been going on for a long time because I have found such artifacts in remodel jobs. Newspapers with stuff like "Ben Hogan wins U.S. Open, etc. I stashed bunches of them after the Loma Preiata earthquake.

7. My parents bought an old house
and found stacks of old newspapers(still readable) in the attic.
I remember one of them was all about Lincoln's assassination...at the time it happened!

I get pleasure knowing someone will have the same fun someday in the future.
