Cartoons of doom
Someone's working on a containment facility for nuclear waste that will be clearly marked as dangerous waste, regardless of language or time period. The intention is that when our distant descendents dig it up, they'll know they shouldn't crack it open, even without the benefit of a dead languages scholar.They'll use a variety of languages — a lá the Rosetta Stone — and universal pictograms to convey the meaning. Which makes sense, really; but begs one very intriguing question...
What does a pictogram for "danger of horrible, blistering death" look like?

Oh, probably much like the things plastered all over the forbidden Egyptian tombs that silly Englishmen always open in mummy movies.
