So, You've Gone Back In Time...


It happens to us all, you find yourself in the 13th century and you fancy wiping out smallpox a few centuries early, but you can't quite remember how to go about it. Well fear not, as there is now a handy cheat sheet available for the time traveler on the go.

Time travel - as seen in Back to the Future, Terminator and the seminal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - presents a lot of challenges and a lot of opportunities, so many in fact that it can be hard to remember everything. How exactly do you generate electricity, or make milk safe to drink?

Well, TopatoCo have recognized this dilemma and have designed a product to help. The Time Travel Cheat Sheet can be secured in your time machine so you'll never get caught out waiting for lightning bolts to generate that 1.21 jiggawatts you need to get on the move again.

The full version of the poster can be found here [http://www.topatoco.com/graphics/qw-cheatsheet-print-zoom.jpg] and you can buy it here [http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=QW-CHEATSHEET-PRINT&Category_Code=ALLART]. It's also available as a t-shirt [http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=QW-CHEATSHEET&Category_Code=QW] if space in your time machine is at a premium.

Now all you have to worry about is not becoming your own grandfather.

Then I'll travel even further and kill your grandfather.

AND BECOME HIM!

So in future I'll ground you and you won't be able to use the machine.

FINALLY! My time machine is littered with bits of scrap paper that I've written reminders on.

You know all that nonsense about Ancient Egyptians having electricity, but no evidence has been found? That's because I couldn't remember how to get it going.

Well, now I have this handy cheat sheet. To the TIME MACHINE!!!

I'll go back in time and push your pregnant mother down a stairwell.
Then I will become her!

...Wait. Wait. No.
No, no. That was a hidden message.

That I and his grandmother would do whoopies. And I would be the grandfather.

Or, if that's a bit distasteful...


I would be his grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand... GAAASP... grand-grandfather and travel FORWARD in the time!! Then I would demand ancestral respect and say that if he won't love me and obey me, I will cause the grandfather paradox for real this time.

I'm pretty sure patenting the time machine you used would be a more practical way to make money.

Oh my God I've thought about this. Like if I went to the past or someone from the past came to the future, and asked me about how all the wonderous things in the modern world work. I realized that despite all my years of schooling; I really can't explain simple things. Now, I can atleast make a decent effort to recreate some of those things. I guess.

I have missed something here, when did Nilcypher become a News Room Contributor? And who is the new Mod/s?

On topic, I may just get that whole thing tattooed onto my back. That would be a laugh.

I really want to get my hands on a finished, functional copy of Narcissist. The perceptual dichotomy between the two is just beautiful.
