Time Travel — No Joke

From the Washington D.C. Craigslist, posted a few days ago:1

I am looking for a partner to travel back in time with me. This is NOT A JOKE. I have done this before. Your gender is not important, but you must have your own weapons. Contact me immediately.

I’d love to know both what motivates someone to post this and what kind of responses it brings.  I’m also curious how far back in time he/she is planning to go (are we talking last week? Romans? dinosaurs?) and what kind of weapons might be required.  And it would be really cool if this had a posting date from some time next week.

  1. No, I don’t have any reason to be browsing Craigslist for Washington.  A friend (who also has no reason to be browsing, but never mind) brought this to my attention. []
