So it can be June the 25th where I can catch the plane to Anthrocon. Smiling

You could always pay millions of dollars to have yourself cryogenically frozen. It's like traveling through time...

They'll accidently freeze me for 1000 years, then I'll wake up. The world will be split in two beliefs, on one side you have the genetically modified humans to look like animals, and then you have the human purists which want to maintain their human dignity by not having genetic modifications. It will be, war of the furries vs the humans.

All I wanted to do is go to AnthroCon, not be cast in to the future. XD

We do have a time machine. It was on stage during last year's Anthrocon. I'll ship it to you last week.

Thank you Uncle Kage...that comment made my Friday morning! ^^

Though...from what I remember of that time machine, I dunno how safe it is to ship...

You're utterly wrong!

There will be no battling in 1000 years between humans and furs.

My super-mutant mega-furries will destroy ALL the pathetic humans by then!

And I will be an omniscient and omnipotent energy being.

You'll be happy to know that a time machine that takes you into the future actually doesn't contradict the laws of physics!

All you need is a spacecraft that can accelerate to relativistic (i.e. close to the speed of light) velocities. Zoom around for a day or two, and when you return, June 26th should be right around the corner!

Of course, you'll have to make sure your calculations are right, so you don't overshoot and arrive at Anthrocon 2097 (tagline: "The First 100 Years"). Of course, by then, half the attendees will actually be real furries, so that might not be so bad ^_^

Unfortunately, going back to March 2008 is a no-no. Slingshotting around the sun and firing retro-thrusters doesn't work in real life Sad

We figure the hotels for Anthrocon 2097 will fill up around March 2074. Book early!

If someone does invent a time machine, I'll need it to follow up a note I left for my boss a few months ago.

I like to do silly things to make everyone laugh, so I left him a note that read "Hey , I need to have off of work yesterday. There's something I need to go back and do, but I won't be able to do it if I have to work. So if you could schedule me off yesterday so I can go and do it, I'd appreciate it".

His official response was leaving me a note saying, "So you're saying that it's not the TRAVELING BACK IN TIME that's preventing you from doing something, but the fact that you were scheduled that day?? Okay, done! I have taken you off the schedule for yesterday. Have fun!"

Now of course, I couldn't just let that go. A friend of mine had gone to the movies on the "yesterday" in question, so I left the ticket stubs on my boss's desk with a quick note saying I really enjoyed seeing the movie. You should have seen the look on his face.

-If someone walks up to you and says they are a pathological liar, would you believe them?

And did he - after examining the ticket stubs and your note - continue in the same, cheery vein, and blithly dock you that days' pay, seeing as you retroactively became unscheduled?

Actually he just rescheduled me for another prior day of that week. And it worked out well that way, because I had dinner that night with a blithering idiot and I was happy to have an excuse to get out of it Eye-wink
