Actually the image Orbital used of a naked man and woman, the position of the Sol system relative to certain pulsars marked by clock rate, etc. -- *was* in fact from the plate attached to the Voyager probe. I don't remember seeing the Arecibo transmission in there anywhere. (It's a really really lo-res bitmap.) Cool Fact: Also attached to Voyager was a gold-plated LP with recorded greetings in many languages. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo)
