"I'm pretty sure I've invented a time machine..."


One of Karli's friends was hiking on nearby Bowen Island recently and came across the following cautionary missive:


First, I'd like to say that British Columbia is a surprisingly busy spot for time travel, what with the Stanley Park Time Machine and my own experience of discovering a time machine while taking a walk at lunch.

That being said, back to the matter at hand. It's very courteous of this hopeful time traveller to post a warning, but I do have one small problem with their announcement.

If you don't want people to stand in that exact spot, putting up a notice that takes about 20 seconds to read is a bad idea  - because they will stand in that exact spot to read it.

Regardless, good luck with your arrival on Friday August 4th or Friday August 3rd  - depending on how your calculations end up.  Pro tip: given that the next Friday August the 4th is in 2024, you should probably have laminated your sign if you wanted it to last that long.
