There needs to be an investigation on this. Maybe for crack in his house if nothing else. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I think it's safe to say that the guy has some issues. And coming from me, that's serious stuff... It just goes to show you that people can be stupid. I mean, how much money has the guy got from "time machine" selling? Hmm... that gives me an idea... Someone grab a toaster, a deckchair and a clock, and meet me round the back of the bikesheds in 20 minutes. Edit: Googling didn't throw anythig up but this... "John Doe is the name given in official documents when the name of a person is not known (In this case, for a death certificate)." Have we been had?

That customer was obviously fooling around with that guy. He was probably reselling those parts at higher prices somewhere in the net and would not want the other guy copying his idea. -------------------- "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work, I want to achieve it through not dying."

It's possible that he is in eed building timemachines..But why sell them? He was obviously careful about running into his "alter-self", but if he keep selling them online than more and more people will wreak havoc in the time-space continium, which will sooner or later create some kind of major paradox. You really expect someone who builds time-machines for a living to be more careful. -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

Well, it is a pure fact that customers are dumb. And if you need more proof for that, take a look to the other stories that site has to offer. -------------------- Somebody PLEASE turn the heat on. Posts: 617 | Registered: Tuesday, April 13 2004 07:00 |

I have a time machine. It works great. It travels through time at a pretty steady rate, and keeps me posted on its progress with a handy digital display.

Maybe he builds a machine that looks into the future and the past. Small electronic components don't seem right to move a whole person. But a digital camera that could look into the past or future would be pretty cool. :P -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Marvin, I'll sell you one for fifty dollars. However, I can only guarantee it'll go forward in time. But it will come with a handy wristband. -------------------- I HAVE LOCATED MY CAPS LOCK KEY AND FEEL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT! Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

I think the John Doe in this context is just the relater of the anecdote using a generic placeholder for the guy's real name. His real name might be Edward H. Ffalenger III, but the poster might have been trying to protect his privacy. Perhaps out out of fear somebody would come backwards in time to beat him up.

Didn't we have a similar topic about a mind-machine? But the John Doe-story is hilarious. :P And John Titor of course is matchless. -------------------- ^ö^ I was a cannibal for twenty-five years.
