Apparently this has been around for a while, but I recently stumbled upon it, thanks to a link from Dan Reeves. So who’s this John Titor guy? Well, in November 2000 a person called himself Timetravel_0 and later John Titor, posting on a message board that he was a time traveler from the year 2036. From the site:

One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the old Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation. On March 24, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our time and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day. Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.

The site on John Titor has an archive of all the posts found that he ever made on message boards. Is he real? It’s hard to tell. If it’s a hoax, then it has been planned out and carried out very carefully– he answered/solved many complex physics questions that were challenged by people to him, so he’s pretty smart too. He talks about a civil war which will begin this year (but he said 2005 once, did he not?). I don’t think this stuff is real, but it’s definitely an interesting read anyhow (and it’s also a little frightening how he talks about the world in such horrible condition). There is the slight possibility that this is real, and if so, we’ll definitely see something in the next year or so. However, if nothing happens, we can be assured that that was just a brilliant plan and a great story.

I’m thirsty. =o
