- and Remlik created Superman :)) ? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 27, 23:18

    - 99? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 22:46 6
      - Much bigger than that. Much much bigger. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:52 4

- (here's the video) -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 27, 21:53 [youtube] 1
  - Ok, i'm convinced that's someone talking on a cell phone. - Stephen Oct 27, 22:00
- I think it's just someone pulling up their collar to hide from t4he camera. (nm) - howie Oct 27, 21:50 2
  - someone on some other site speculated it might have been some kind of hearing aid -- nm - wererabbit Oct 27, 21:52 1
    - could be. I have no idea about hearing aid tech from that period (nm) - howie Oct 27, 21:56
- if he's already a time traveller, why would his mobile phone need towers? -- nm - mafic Oct 27, 21:31 2
  - why would his mobile phone be a phone as we know it? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 21:34 1
    - that's kind of my point. if he already has magic technology, what's the problem with more magic technology? -- nm - mafic Oct 27, 21:35

        Humans fuck everything up. There's no way this wouldn't leak. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 22:07 5
        
        Whoa whoa whoa. Who says the tech is human? -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:08 3
        
        repeat argument if we're talking about aliens. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 22:10 2
        
        Why do you assume aliens are fuck-ups? Is there some intergalactic tea party I don't know about? -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:13 1
        
        If there was, apparently we wouldn't! -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 22:47
        
        I'm telling you - Timecops. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:08
        
        You've seen how people dick around on Halo. Someone would mess it up, and it would be *everywhere* ... - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:06
      - NO TIME TRAVEL FOR TEABAGGERS! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:02
      - *exactly*. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 21:59

  - well, backward time travel -- nm - wererabbit Oct 27, 21:39
  - Maybe she's just taking a relaxing break after killing Hitler. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 21:36 26
    - i actually had to call out one of my workshop members on this - wererabbit Oct 27, 21:41 25
      - but what if he was captured before he committed the crimes? Would he still be guily for things he hasn't done yet? -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 22:04 21
        
        well this is the other problem with that premise. if you have the ability to travel back and capture him after WWII happened, why not go back further - wererabbit Oct 27, 22:06 14
        
        The Internet never exists if some nerd isn't born. -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:09 4
        
        don't tempt us to send back a terminator after your mom - wererabbit Oct 27, 22:11 2
        
        Like my dad couldn't take a terminator. Dude has beaten cancer for 15 years. -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:12
        
        don't try this with Will's mom. Skynet couldn't deal with the ramifications of making her mad. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:12
        
        TV never exists if some rural guy decides to take up blacksmithy instead of farming. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:10
        
        "It's Minority Report meets Valkyrie meets Terminator!" nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 22:08
        
        good point. Then we get Jake Featherstone (that's for all 3 Turtledove readers here) -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 22:08
        
        going back and stopping it from happening is a paradox. You lose your motivation for going back and doing what you did. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:06 6
        
        and really just create an alternate time line anyway. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 22:08 5
        
        Assuming that the many worlds theory is correct, all of these scenario are existing as we speak. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 22:13 4
        
        And nobody understands that Monty Hall crap in any of them. -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:14 3
        
        Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn't eat it? nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 22:18 1
        
        And how would that impact sales in the microwave burrito niche market? -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:19
        
        except for the architect who started the whole damn thing. - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:15
        
        "It's Minority Report meets Valkyrie!!" nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 22:05 4
        
        Stop trying to get Tom Cruise gigs. - David Oct 27, 22:08 2
        
        Tom Cruise is a hot shot Harvard lawyer who goes back to the 1890s to establish his land rights in Oklahoma. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 27, 22:10 1
        
        He's going back for Xenu and the DC-8. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 22:18
        
        Bery wins cause he lives in a real English Colony. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 22:06
        
        Minority Report says "Yes, but we later realize that this is stupid." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:04
      - It could kinda work. There was a time travel movie in the 70s where doomed airline passengers were replaced with flash clones. - Beryllium Oct 27, 22:03
      - I like it. -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:01
