"Pretend you're a time traveler day" is coming soon! OR IS IT?

Oh man, this is going to be hilarious: December 8th is the World Pretend You're A Time Traveler Day! It's all about dressing up in a futuristic costume and stay in character all day! Amuse your friends! Confuse your enemies!

Possible fun things to do and say:

- Greet people by referring to things that don’t yet exist or haven’t existed for a long time. Example: “Have you penetrated the atmosphere lately?” “What spectrum will today’s broadcast be in?” and “Your king must be a kindly soul!”

- Show extreme ignorance in operating regular technology. Pay phones should be a complete mystery (try placing the receiver in odd places). Chuckle knowingly at cell phones.

- If you go for the dystopian “prisoner who’s escaped the future” scenario, try shaving your head and putting a barcode on the back of your neck. Then stagger around and stare at the sky, as if you’ve never seen it before.

- Walk up to random people and say “WHAT YEAR IS THIS?” and when they tell you, get quiet and then say “Then there’s still time!” and run off!

- Stand in front of a statue (any statue, really), fall to your knees, and yell “NOOOOOOOOO!!!”

- Stare at newspaper headlines and look astonished.

- Take some trinket with you (it can be anything really), hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say “In thirty years dial this number. You’ll know what to do after that.” Then slip away.

Here, by the way, is a time machine from eBay!

Anywho, see you all on the 8th! WHICH IS IN THE FUTURE! MAYBE!
