…for Time Travelers.

On May 7th, the students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plan to hold the first (and they believe only) convention for time travellers. Their reason for arguing that it is the only one is that only one is necessary. After all, time travellers of whatever period will be able to attend, provided only that news of the convention survives into any future period that might invent time travel.

So, can someone give me a lift to it? Say, noonish, 2012?

I’ll be happy with some souvenirs from their time. Like, say, a gadget that can translate from any language to one I can understand (that was so obvious). No, I don’t understand Babelfish.

Too bad, because that's the globally accepted language of the future, that doesn't need those devices anymore... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Are we talking the fish or the website?

The website I suppose, because there was never a complaint about the fish.

As a matter of fact, the fish's perfection was the incontestable proof for the existence of god, that in the end made him vanish in a small cloud...

The catch is...why would the news survive until such a time?
