I really don't really want to suddenly appear in mid-air in the Antarctic in January in 1965 or any other year....

[Old Sarge]

This story was on "Coast to Coast" last weekend. I caught it on the way in for duty.

one word:
Mescaline.

If I go back in time, can I reacquire, with no effort, the trappings of youth that go with it? After all, they say you're only as old as you feel...wait, no one is this old!

[doug9732]

Pravda is at least as credible as the tabloid Weekly World News. By the way, is Hillary still rasing her space alien baby?

[Kirkwood]

What's the name of that movie with Kirk Douglas where a US carrier (Enterprise?) goes into a vortex and appears in WWII with the chance to beat the holy hell out of the Japanese Navy?

'TIME-TRAVELER' BUSTED FOR INSIDER TRADING
Wednesday March 19, 2003

By CHAD KULTGEN

NEW YORK -- Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading charges -- and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256!

Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success in the stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28.

"We don't believe this guy's story -- he's either a lunatic or a pathological liar," says an SEC insider.

"But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck.

"The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He's going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources."

But after a while they noticed that the fog did not change its form and did not move so they decided to investigate.

Fog! *slap* Of course! I should have thought of that!

[Eala]

Oh, nooooo...... not The Time Tunnel!

[farmfriend]

According to the article, some American and British scientists working in Antarctica on January 27, 1995, noticed a spinning gray fog in the sky over the pole.

All this time we thought is was an ozone hole!

[explodingspleen]

First they claim it's a hole in the ozone layer; now they claim it's a hole in the spacetime continuum.

I tell ya, them libs. . .

[TomGuy]

I saw this on Stargate SG1 just last week on the Sci Fi Channel, so it must be true.

[KellyAdmirer]

That guy should have put the $800 in a money market account and gone back to 2256 to collect the proceeds. Now THAT kind of haul would make insider trading profits look like chump change!

[DoctorMichael]

"...Mescaline...."

Nah. Too much Wodka.

Great! Now somebody can go back and nix Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler, Muhammed, and Antonio Gramsci.

[Bullish]

Borsch!

[dpwiener]

Why would a weather balloon have such a chronometer on it?

Probably for the same reason that all bombs in movies or in TV shows have large digital displays counting down the time until the bomb is set to explode. (And of course it's impossible to disarm a bomb until the digital display reaches 2, 1 or 0 seconds.)

I mean, PULEEEZE. Everyone knows that all weather balloons have to contain chronometers that automatically adjust themselves to the current time.

[Russ]

I guess that if I am a scientist stationed at the South Pole for God knows how long I would begin to hallucinate too. If this would happen to be true, though, the Democrats would go back and change the 2000 election and we would never know it. In fact, maybe Gore did win and the Bush people went back and changed it. Who would know??

[Carry_Okie]

Somebody ought to send up a mechanical clock along with the electronic chronometer to see if they both come back deflected by the same amount.

What do you bet?
