You send us your most ephemeral and worthless communications, and we'll carefully transcribe them into the most long-lasting medium known to man - a clay tablet.
...
        Here's how it works:
        Just send us a tweet or text (use the text field in the order form)
        We'll carefully translate it into cuneiform
        We'll stamp it on an actual clay tablet
        and mail it to you.

Favorite jokes? Amazing pickup lines? Your 2-star review of last summer's blockbuster?
KEEP IT FOREVER.

I dunno, the choice of Old Persian is rather questionable when everyone knows the lingua franca was Akkadian, and looking at the tablets it's pretty clear they were using a sharpened chopstick rather than reeds harvested from the banks of the Euphrates. In sum: FAIL.
