Did you know that one of Bill Nye's professors was Carl Sagan? I found that to be awesome.

I've always thought it'd be funny to put super random dates on a grave stone like "1843-2039". I have also begun working on a nickname to go in between my real name that nobody in my life has ever called me. John "Crazy-Eye" Doe or the like. My funeral will be a celebration and super confusing.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Unless they do call you that behind your back. In that case, you'll just look remarkably affable.

His first name is roughly "time" backwards.

We can't really call him our scientist, he was just visiting. He belonged to the future, we were merely lucky enough to meet him.

It's impossible to go back in time with a time traveling device. You can only go back as far as when the time machine was first operational. Based on current theories anyhow...

Tachyon particles, baby. They're so smooth that lady time will let them slip through her folds and into her special spot.

You're mistaken. It can be done. It just causes your nose to bleed.

Nice!

"Emit Varlet" is an anagram for "Time Travel".

[–]IGetThis 12 points13 points ago

Forever. So far everything is going according to plan.

[–]icen 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

well, Emit was obviously a genius, so he probably invented the time machine at the age of 18, this means 2166....so I would say, around 190 years.

Is there any legal reason one couldn't do this? Because if not I wanna put something like this in my will. Trollin from beyond the grave.

He must have wound up in Scotland and thought he went too far back in time, so he took his own life.

My question exactly.

[–]Legitimidget 0 points1 point ago

False! Everyone knows Jacob Hogflume invented time travel back in the 1800s.

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. Who is this Varlet guy to think he can take credit?
