I was watching t.v. the other day (as I so often do when I’m trying to steal new ideas for posts) and I saw a really interesting documentary. It was all about how to warp time and space. It was pretty technical information but I made sure to write down some notes record the show for later replay. The best part was this guy who claimed that warping the space/time continuum could be done using common household items. A blender, the heating element of a toaster oven, beer, and plutonium 244. Unfortunately I was fresh out of plutonium 244 and only had 239 on hand; but I figured what difference could a few grams of atomic mass possibly make.
After following the experiment precisely, the result should have been a stable wormhole that would allow me to travel back in time to visit myself in the past. I was going to go back to last Friday and remind myself to return my movies to the video store on time. Alas, something went horribly, horribly wrong. No wormhole was created. Instead it just blew up in my face; the result of which was soot all over my face and my hair sticking up in a crazy looking way. Also, this happened to my clock:

So now we know: You really do need plutonium 244 for this to work. Boy, are there tons of things I’d go back in time for. Why do it right the first time if you can mess up, then go back and fix it.
Anyway, you got a cool clock out of it.

Are you saying I can make my own Salvador Dali clocks out of just those four things? And can I get some plutonium on eBay? What happens if I can only get the #240 kind? Can it take the curl out of my hair permanently? Stuff like that?

You should have asked me, I got lost of 244 just lying around.

I’ll remember posting on this topic last wednesday.
Are you sure you didn’t warp your blog time?

If only I could now travel back in time, I could go back to Feb. 9th at 12:30 p.m. and address all of your comments within the main body of my blog and you would all think that I was some sort of a future seeing person.

Man, wish I would have known.. I could have loaned you 5 plutonium.

Come on, you can’t believe everything they say on TV.
Did you get a fee for late movie returns or something?
