Don't tell the Time Cube Guy either.

Thing is, if time travel exists in the future, where are the numerous temporal tourists who have come back in time to observe various historical occurences? They must hide very well as I have yet to see a silver jump suit,

wow, you must have never been to downtown San Francisco, or New Orleans.

PenDevil, there's a debate among physists as to weither causality resulting from backward time travel affects "our" past, or if the voyagers merely open an alternate history which would be too mathematically complex (or unstable) for them to return back "home".

As it would take an enormous amount of energy to create new matter, it's not likely that any alternate Earth would last very long,
so anyone attempting to visit a previous era would've been vaporised,
not unlike the manner depicted in that Star Trek episode which often turns up in armchair science discussions.

Personally, I'll stay with Conan O'Brien's "In the year 2000" schtick. Definitely not as potentially depressing.

Pretty funny. I'm waiting to see their war coverage, myself.

PenDevil, the Time Travellers are everywhere. They have to hide. The military secrets they possess make them targets and most governments have developed elaborate traps to try and catch them.

This is a great site (futurefeedforward) thanks for pointing it out. Very cleverly made.

*thumbs up*

My steady regimen of sci-fi has paid off in my being able to grok this comedy gold.
