NOTICE TO READERS FROM THE FUTURE: Convention

The Time Traveler Convention

May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT (08 May 2005 02:00:00 UTC)

East Campus Courtyard, MIT

42:21:36.025°N, 71:05:16.332°W

(42.360007,-071.087870 in decimal degrees)

This will be the first and only time traveler convention (since you can attend from any era, multiple conventions are unnecessary).  Come and meet time travelers from the past and future.  Introduce your grandchildren to your grandparents (you'll probably have to pick up some of them first).

Please note that the date is in reference to the Gregorian Calendar in use at the host time.

I'm posting this here, as I believe that my blog will become so popular that transcripts should be available well into the future!

Counting Sheep at Bedtime

So, I'm lying in bed last night reading before going to sleep.  I still have the police scanner on.

I hear:

"Station 40, respond to the Turnpike mile marker xx.x northbound on an overturned vehicle with possible entrapment.  Use caution for sheep running around on the highway."

And suddenly my head pops up.  They repeat the dispatch identically.

The story:
Newsday Story

You can't make this stuff up.
