Dover 'time-traveler' sparks internet interest

Twitter Email Embed 'I have a functioning time machine' by scott blanchard, A man from Dover, Pa. -- who may also be from Bozeman, Mont., perhaps in another time-space dimension -- says he's going back to June 1983, needs someone to help him run the machine, and needs a cat-sitter. He advertised those needs on Craigslist. Many people have found this interesting. And it appears this machine could meet many needs.

Dover, Pa., man plans #TimeTravel, needs cat-sitter. http://ow.ly/3zXhm #SpaceTimeContinuumNews YDRChrisOtto January 7, 2011 at 9:38

Found this ad on CraigsList while searching through some job advertisements. Can anyone help this dude out? Remember, you have to provide someone to take care of his cat, and your skull can't be any bigger than 64 cm. in circumference. Kristin Radermacher January 6, 2011 at 17:54

Here's a message-board poster who's in:

This is huge! shocktotem.nice-board.com I'm going to Bozeman Montana... who's going with me? Time Travel Date: 2010-09-24, 10:09AM MDT I have a functioning time machine (i know it sounds unbelievable, but I assure you it works) that I need a 2nd person to operate with me. I'm looking ...

The man posted his ad Thursday in Craigslist with the header 'Time Travel (Dover, Pa.)' (He, or someone, also apparently posted virtually the same ad on Craigslist for Bozeman, Mont., in December). Anyway, he says he's leaving tomorrow, be back Monday. To go, you have to be reliable. You have to find someone to take care of his cat.  And your head can't be too big.  Wonder why? Patrick LaForge on his blog: Do you have to climb through some kind of porthole? Or wear a special helmet? Will you have to lift the time machine? Perhaps to hide it.'  Whatever. Turns out there are people who really, really would groove on this invention.

somebody invent a time machine man Ahmad Shahid January 7, 2011 at 11:19

Dude, what we're saying is, this guy in Dover (or maybe Bozeman, Mont.) already HAS.

I need a time machine, who sellin one?? Tyke Mula MoundnBerk January 7, 2011 at 11:04

You could call the guy in Dover, see if he has an asking price.

20 bucks to anybody who can time-travel me to May. Alex Marshall January 7, 2011 at 11:42

If you can take a sidetrip to June 1983, the guy in Dover might be your ride. (Helpful advice: You might want to go higher than 20 bucks. It's not a cab ride.)

Made it to NYC in 2 hours. In the snow. #timetravel smokingmole January 7, 2011 at 11:35

Fine, congratulations. But aside from @smokingmole, seems like there's quite a demand for this Dover (or possibly Bozeman, Mont.) time machine:

RT @metaforth: If I could time travel I'd go to my funeral and take names of people who seemed to be handling it a little too well. the_marke January 7, 2011 at 9:41

RT @selenagomez: I was so born in the wrong era. I wish I could time travel... Where would you go? lisajbmusic January 7, 2011 at 7:01

Could really do with the ability to time travel right now... just to around 5.30pm will do nicely iMacGeoff January 7, 2011 at 8:42

If there's a time machine, i wanna go back to 1983 and dance with Kevin Bacon in Footloose movie! :) wanieharun23 January 7, 2011 at 12:01

1983! You're in luck!

This song makes me want to build a time machine, kidnap Justin Bieber, bring him back in time to December 8, 2004, and throw him in front of Dimebag as a human shield. Trevor Helton January 7, 2011 at 11:37

We may have a winner ...

But seriously ... about our Dover (or Bozeman) guy's travel plans: No one knows why he is going back to June 1983. To right some past wrong? To stop the 76ers from winning the NBA title? To get his girl back?  Maybe this is his girl, and he's tired of the whole bagel thing:

Just bought a used time machine off of Craigslist. So, think back to the most memorable experience you've ever had and that was me that made it happen. George Blum December 24, 2010 at 13:01

But it looks like it's still a seller's market for time machines.
