For those of you who ignored the link posted by Brian, here it is again.

It's such a simple idea, yet it's an interesting one. Granted, I'm not going to say anyone from the future will be there, unfortunately. I wish they would be. Does anyone think that perhaps it will be a success? It's the best way to find a time traveler, really.

"The Time Machine Convention? That was yesterday."

(The comic's in German, so you probably needn't bother clicking. ^^ For the record, it's from here.)

I already know that I won't be involved in time travel in my lifetime. Long ago I decided that if I were, I'd come back from the future to give myself a pat on the back and enough money to buy a milkshake ... like, right now.

But no luck. No future me. No pat on the back. Worst of all, no milkshake.

I think the convention is a fun idea that will ultimately result in nothing but a few tshirts.

"I'm gonna go to the Time Traveler Convention and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

I was thinking of building a time machine, so I could send all my garbage into the future, where we probably have a better way to get rid of it.
Then I realized that the efficient way to get rid of it would be to send it back in time and wait for it to decompose. :P

is this thread going to turn into a collection of time travel jokes?

That's from Dilbert. Give credit where credit is due.

That day will be a very depressing day.

As my profile tells you, I'm a time traveler from 1983. My destination: The Future.

That garbage thing reminds me of Young Zaphod Plays it Safe. They created a power source that took energy form the past (hey, they weren't using it any more, right?). But instead of a new era of economic development, the whole galaxy fell into a massive recession! That�s when they realized that while we were taking energy form the past, those scum sucking bastards from the FUTURE where stealing energy form US. And thus, the power source was outlawed.

Likewise, as e send garbage into the past, the future will be sending garbage back to us

I say, send it to mars and let it decompose to create the fertile basis of the new Martian civilization, just as soon as NASA decides to get their asses in gear.

Time travel's weird. I first get an email from the future telling me not to go to the conference as it'll be the worst day of my life, then I get another telling that I wished I hadn't missed it and my present self should go.

(Person who can explain this gets 10 imaginary points from the future)
