Am I a Timelord?

Recommended Posts

A few days back I posted a question on AVForums. Yesterday I noticed I'd had no responses so I started Googling for an answer. After a about an hour of searching I found a Google link to another post on AVForums which looked promising.

 

When I followed the link, I found it was from a post I'd made myself 6 years ago, and contained therein was the answer to my own question from this week!

 

Ok, so its not quite saving the Earth from the Cybermen, but baby steps, eh?

Ah, but maybe I havn't gone back in time yet to leave the answer for myself?

 

So, at some stage in the future, you're going to go back in time to leave an answer for yourself. However, instead of leaving it where you will conveniently discover it, you're going to leave it buried six years in the past.

 

To me, this suggests that in the future, you're going to become more thoughtless, paying scant regard to your present self. I suggest that you leave yourself a note, reminding yourself to be more thoughtful.

 

...but obviously, it didn't work and you went ahead and answered your question six years ago.

Ah, but AVForums has 347306 members but in the present day not one of them could answer my question. Clearly this is some kind of planet-wide conspiracy orchestrated by an evil alien mastermind to prevent me from connecting my 3.1 amp to my plasma telly in my bedroom.

 

I must have deliberately planted the answer in the past to keep it safe, thereby creating a plot point that, while not standing up to serious analysis does create an plausible and entertaining moment. Who knows what will happen when I switch on the subwoofer (or short range 200Hz acoutstic waveform generator as I may start referring to it)?

 

 

Maybe something else ending in ...lord?

 

Right, I know who'll be looking the other way when the Daleks roll down your street…!

 

Simple answer

 

Yes. yes you are. ALL HAIL. Now if you could find time in your busy day to come back 4 weeks from now and pm me the numbers to the euro millions i would be greatful.

Next week's Euromillions is a fixed event in time so I cant help you Raven. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
