Reservations Irrelevant For MIT's Historic First Ever Time Traveler's Convention

I got this from the Slashdot.org newsletter which I just started getting today. I found that it was already worth the time spent to sign up.

Yes, it is a newsletter for the Geeks of the world, but with humor like this
everyone needs to geek out a little.

convention. The idea is to make it so famous and so widely-known that
even thousands of years in the future, people will still know exactly
when and where this time-traveler convention went down, and will all come
travel to it at some point in their illustrious time-traveling careers.
For those interested in attending, it's on May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT (08
May 2005 02:00:00 UTC) in the East Campus Courtyard at MIT.
42:21:36.025N, 71:05:16.332W (42.360007,-071.087870 in decimal degrees)."

Well here I am doing my part to make this so famous and well known that our great x 10+92 grandchildren might come back, meet there, then stop on by and bring us some much needed cash in exchange for antique Teletubbie Memorabilia or whateve passes for art in the 85th century.

Now that I think of it, during the Time traveler's convention, convention I will be holding a special 20th century antiques sale for Time Travelers from the future only.

Everything must go!

Fabulously rare items from the 21st and 20th Century available for only a few pounds of gold or diamonds each:

Get in on the bargains now:

Rare Teletubby Memorabelia:

Videos of Worship Services from the exotic Barney and Bob the Builder Cults:

Rare collectable issues of patterned "Toilet paper" once used in primative hygene appliances of this era.

Mountains of rare formatted computer media from the mythical computer intelligence that once tried to rule the planet, known to the future only as the pyramidial AOL! Some have been converted into various primative works of art such as coasters, spinning reflectors, and small game hunting spinners.

These and many other mysterious items can be yours at the one, the only, the original time travelers Antiques sale!

Come back as many times as you want, once we open, we never close, we stay open as long as the convention does, you can leave and come back that week as many times as you like!

That's the wonder of Time Travel!

Just me,

Peter
