| time travelling Sometime in the eighth grade I convince someone I was about five hundred years old and hadn't age since some unremembered cataclysmic event in my life back then. I told him that I would go back to school every so often, since the invention of modern education, to learn what an eighth grader was supposed to know and not know. Every so often I would tell someone purely for the fun of it. I was never completely sure I convinced him but I saw the twinkle of "it could be true" in his eyes. It was easy to answer any question an eighth grader had with an ambiguous response on historical or geographical situations ("There were only indians here moron, I was in England!") and double-speak on exact details. I tried it again in college with only minimal success. "So how did you come over to the new world, smart guy?" "Easily -- smuggled on board and quickly made a cabin boy by a kindly old ship captain. Horrendous voyage -- bad food, guys dying of scurvy and other things and man, do I love modern toilet bowls !!" Buy little did I know I could have been a time traveller !! It seems John Titor was one of the wool-pullers who claimed he was on a short jaunt back in time and stopped to blab about it online. Who would believe him, he giggled as he typed. Play with the early 21th century minds. He answered questions and posted pics and diagrams of a time machine. He made predictions, as was expected. And much to my disapointment many of those have not happened, as his predictions were often very precise and not Nostradamusian and ambiguous as all hell. My favourite quote is: "It is a mistake to give anyone your unwavering belief...but you will find that out yourself in 2005." August 06 05 |
