So you're a time traveller pretending to be human??

P'ter · Dec 20 2007, 08:23 AM

yup!

Kater · Dec 20 2007, 09:48 AM

Sounds cool P'ter! Where can I sign up??!!

P'ter · Dec 20 2007, 06:09 PM

I thought you already had. What are you doing on here if you're not one of us?

We wouldnt have to wait if we were time travelers, we could just travel back to that day and confuse people even more. now I have to just remember where I left my flux capacitor...

In the left hand pocket of your middle leg; or course.

That's where it was last time.
