So my best friend, and I are about to plug an iPod into a 1971 "Realistic" brand record amplifier/radio playing through a 1985 sony speaker....we're pretty sure the only possible outcome is to somehow be launched through time. Whether or not it's forward or backward, we don't know.

Hmmm, going to put it in a DeLorian?

Perhaps you will get sent back to the 80s and will be able to find one

Will you be reading Asimov's "The End of Eternity" while you listen?

Do be sure that the crystals are properly aligned.

I have come from the future to send you this message:

You must not proceed with your experiment. Disastrous consequences. Steve Buschemi evil overlord. Rupture in space-time continuum. From an incredible $12.99!!. Do not follow the white rabbit.

Oddly enough, the book is only inches away from my desk.

I always prefered the future messages in the dream sequences from "Prince of Darkness".

Alas...our iPod exploded. THe speaker blew out, and the stereo/amp is fine. We plugged it up to some more 70s stuff and everything works.

*Extra* The Ipod simply burnt out (it was old and about ready for a grave anyhow) Since I'm an ex-military Explosive/Demolition Tech, I took out some household stuff, and turned the thing into a small firework. It was pretty to watch.

I guess our crystals were misaligned, or maybe it was the DeLorian that was key...who knows?

You're ex-military huh? Therefore, you must be in the mercenary business... I've got some work for you Mr. Demo-man. The pays good, and you get to make things go **boom**. More specifically, people.

Nah, I'm a pilot now (oh the irony). I rarely blow things up anymore. I should have been more clear I suppose. when I was in the military I was a demo tech now that I'm out I just fly planes.

WARNING:
If you ever get that time machine working, and you happen to be catapulted FORWARD in time, you will be stranded forever. Therefore, your only logical course of action would be to bake a cake. Enjoy that cake! :)

If you go backwards, DO NOT under ANY circumstances bake a CAKE! Were you to bake such a cake, the historical timeline will change and you will NEVER be BORN! Suitable cake alternatives can be located at any good/goode baker's.

When he changes the timeline so that he won't be born, he doesn't go back in time to change the timeline so that he won't be born, which means he will be born and can go back to change the timeline so that he wont be born.
No big losses here...The outcome is always the same...

So long

you can't change the past. No matter how hard you try,

Of course you can. It's just that once you've changed it, it's always been like that, so why the hell would you want to change it? So you don't change it, so it goes back to what you wanted to change in the first place, so you go back and change it, but not it's always *head explodes*

mmmmm... paradoxical...

The only solution to a Time paradox is to do lots of drugs and blow up everything you see. It'll still cause a time paradox, but you probably won't care.

Actually, you can muck about with the past all you want. Everything you can do has already been done, so it works itself out in the end. The only thing you have to consider is that becoming your own father makes family reunions awkward.

He has a scottish accent. I'm pretty sure that makes him scottish.

Also, whatever you do don't step on the Butterfly!!

No, don't do it! If you do, you'll come back and everything will be spelled differently! You will be the laughing stock of the Escapist with your MGG language skills(I'm pretty sure this is what actually happened to him).

Nope, Einstein said time travel is impossible, and everything he says is right, so you won't be going anywhere.

(By the way my source on that was my friend so if Einstein never said that its not my fault.)

We all are away that Teleporters=Forward Time Travel, yes?
It was shown in Half-Life 2: Gordon and Alyx going from Nova Prospekt time-traveled one week into the future. If you delay the teleport for say... 200 years, whablammooo! and you're somewhere you've never been, right where you're standing!
