Where Else Could You Find This?!

Time Travel Theory

Time travel is impossible!
For time itself is simply a concept which needs to be created in order to study and measure events, 1066 or 1776, these are nothing but measures.
It is at least impossible to create a time machine.

Connor's "Extraordinary" Idea

I had an idea yesterday:

Today we look upon the past and think "What must it have been like". Take for instance
The American Revolutionary War, the records we have, we have paintings and engravings, but no photography. Though I am not an optimist in this area, with our rapidly advancing technology people can look back at this era in a different way. There has never before been a period in history so well recorded, but perhaps the trick is that people enjoy not knowing...

Connor's poem transcript: A Reaper: Sonnet I

O this reaper by my side,
It travels by me day by day,
Not a gesture, not one say
As we both travel far & wide.
On sunny days it slays my foes
Oh so calmly and so shortly,
And on windy days it just goes
Oh so loudly & so sweetly.
And if this reaper were to strike me down
I would be ever so powerless,
For this reaper has worked my brain right round,
For it has charmed my heart, I confess.
With it I spend my own life,
O this reaper by my side.
This poem is a sonnet, a rhyming poem of fourteen lines and a specific stucture...
