Have you ever read a story called "Will the Last Person To Leave the Planet Please Shut Off the Sun?" I can't remember who it's by.
It's about a migration from earth, told from the point of view of the people who refuse to leave, mostly complaining about how society is going to hell because everyone is leaving. (i.e. "there are only two baseball teams left now, and the Yankees always win...) Great story, topic reminded me of it.

Will the last person to leave--- Take down the "Free T-shirt" sign Put a warning label on New Jersey Clean out the lint trap Throw all those annoying "boy bands" off a large cliff onto the spiny rocks below And leave a bunch of interesting "Artifacts" for future inhabitants to puzzle over and somehow misinterperate into some sort of subject for worship and multiple computer games.
Suggested "Artifacts": Several large toilets organized into a circle--- ah la stone-henge A world altering clothes-dryer Mummified remains of the "boy bands" A list of "things to do" to be mistranslated into some sort of holy text.
Suggested "Ruins": New Jersey
Suggested World Alterations: Add an 'east pole' Propegate large amounts of gunk all over th..... oh wait.. thats New Jersey again..

Will the last person to leave:
1) Put up "We Apologize For The Inconvenience" -signs for future evolved sentient species?
2) Reboot and Reinstall Evolution (deluxe edition)?

Alternatively,
We can just piss off somewhere else that's more fun and leave this place to die in peace.

Will the last person to leave... ... really leave? "Ah, now everything is mine! I am the supreme owner! The maximum landlord! The definitive ruler!" Hmm... forget it.
