Well put. I like the idea of 'fun'. Think of how insanely difficult it would be to decode though. V'ger and Pioneer had laser discs full of sound and images... do you think we'd be able to decode an alien format? Maybe sending 2d pictures in binary with a width that's a power of 2 with a border in order to give a clue how to set up the grid could be easily decoded and understood....
