You've probably heard about this one already. This Saturday the Time Traveler Convention will take place at 42:21:36.025°N, 71:05:16.332°W. (That's supposed to be at MIT.)
They say there will only have to be one of these conventions since time travelers can keep attending the same one. But we don't yet have time travel, so the only time traveling attendees would have to be from the future.
I should probably consult an expert on this, but I thought Einstein's theory held that time travelers could only travel forward in time and not backward. The theory says that the faster you travel the slower time moves. Perhaps that explains why jogging is so time consuming.
But who knows what the future holds?
Via Screenhead, who claims to have time traveled to this event already and says this: "You twats who showed up and condescendingly oohed and ahed over our "very powerful" laptop computers could give it a miss this time, no one thought that was funny."
Updated 05/08/05, 3:46 pm CDT: The Convention Website says this: "The convention was a success! Unfortunately, we had no confirmed time travelers visit us. We did, however, have a great series of lectures, awesome bands, and even a DeLorean. We regret having had to turn away visitors, but there were capacity restrictions governing Morss Hall."
