In the past if someone was walking down the street talking to themselves we'd assume they were crazy.... today we assume they're just talking on the phone. Ah, the social advances of technology! lol

I used to go around randomly singing old songs outloud everywhere, and always got lots of varied and interesting reactions. Now that I do it with an iPod and those tiny little earbuds/earphones thingies stuck in my ears, its okay- no one pays attention to it any longer!

Definitely a fake and not a time traveler. That guy wasn't even there. I didn't see him and I was there. You won't recognize me because I have my hand over most of my face, but I was looking right at that spot... and someone else entirely was standing there. And she was much more attractive.

I remember when blue tooths were just out and I was grocery shopping and some guy was walking around talking to himself I did think he was crazy till I saw the thing in his ear but I still thought it was a little weird to walk around in public talking to someone no one else can see and ignoring everyone else around you like they are invisible. I still think its rude.
My husband has had guys take calls while in his barber chair and cell phones do really disconnect us with the moment in time we are actually in so perhaps they are their own strange little time machines ( I am not saying this is a good thing I like my phone but think we all need to disconnect more).

IMPORTANT - MUST READ: MEMO TO ALL TIME TRAVELLERS

Unfortunately everyone some issues have arisen concerning the use of the GT500 Satsuma Time Device which need immediate attention. All time travellers using the device must take notice of these issues and do their bit to rectify the situation.

1) All travellers must visit wardrobe before departure. And that goes for you especially Trevor. You've created a hell of a stink back in 2010 wearing those bloody silly goggles of yours and that hoodie.

And also to you Roger, we all know it's the rage at the moment to dress in drag but it's not on to do it at destination. And for goodness sake don't ring up the mechanic to see how your flying car is coming along whilst travelling. You've also created a hoohah in 2010 as well and you'll be barred from using the device if you do it again.

2) Will people please leave the keys for the device on the hook provided by lockers. I spent an hour looking for the things and Sandra had left them by the Schnazbot machine. Once again this is not on people.

3) And whoever is eating in the device stop it. There was half a kebab and a packet of salt and vinegar chips all over the seat and the floor when I went in on Tuesday.

4) And no matter how enjoyable it is, sticking pins in Hitler, Stalin, Rasputin and Justin Timberlake whilst they are asleep is a waste of device time and energy resources. Cut it out now.

Thank you for your attention and please comply.

I guess when you have access to a time travel device it can be 4am on Sunday morning any time you want it to be

Wait a minute, how do you say that camera is the one he's holding? It doesn't even remotely look anything like that...people have got so jaded and skeptical today. Every scientist I've looked up since this thread started says the same thing, that time travel in the future is not only possible but probable. I'm not saying that I think these people are time travelers, but I certainly don't rule anything out when it comes to science.

"ALL time is now." According to Einstein and my own intuitive understanding of the universe and The Unified Field Theory.
Linear time is simply a convenience put in place to keep us all from going completely insane in trying to figure it all out. :p,...maybe until such a time when we invent the means to fold space and travel inter-dimensionally?

1500 years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.” At least "some" people... :)

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to cut hair whilst your customer's head is bobbing around in animated cell phone conversation.

You got it Scotty or they expect him to stop and wait for their important buissness in the meantime he has 2 the 3 guys sitting in chairs waiting for their time in the chair.
