Even if you're not convinced, his comments make some very *interesting* reading...

I read this a couple of months ago, and yes, it does seem very interesting. Some of the things he said made me think a bit.

Same here. I was telling one of the girls at work about it today and all she said was 'oh crikey!' when I mentioned the civil war thing. I had a look on the net for the time jump *video* which is alleged to exist, but to no avail. I think it'd make pretty interesting viewing.

What I found interesting is that he apparently stayed at his parents place even in this time, and from what I could tell after reading the messages, he'd met himself as a kid as well. That was a bit freaky.

The best bit, I thought was that he asked people if they'd want to send a message to their past selves when he went back in time. And of course, since he'd not just be going back in this time-line, but another time-line, the messages would not magically appear at the persons desk, so there was no evidence that he relayed them or not. Genious..

Wonder how many people did though? How many people fell for the 'I'll post the daily Dow Jones one day in advance' line?
