Whoa... Check it out.   *Bob has create a wormhole using the gravity from the recent locked/blackhole thread in the forum.*



Careful.  If you post too close to it, this thread might get sucked in (locked) too.





Dang.  Doesn't work.  That would be cool to take the wormhole image above and make that a link.  I don't think it works here.

I tried this...   I wonder if there's a way to do this still in PS land....

I think I came up with that on my own.  At least that's how I remember it.

If you're the future me though, then I'd just pay myself.  The trick could be how much interest that would generate between our points on the timeline.  However... We both know the interest rate it squat, so that's still just a $1.12.  Plus we'd have to factor in inflation and whether that's  US or Australian dollar and what that means in the future... And you know how my/our luck is.  You're going to end up owing me money.

You're assuming you have enough time left for your "luck" to kick in.

Not that I'm saying you don't, but well......

Depends what kind of luck.   I usually don't have $1.12 type of luck.  And I don't have gigantic luck.... I'd say somehow skipping ahead in a timeline would go above gigantic luck (which would be on the order of winning the lottery).  My kind of luck is on the job/career level or "the day you miss that class it happens to be cancelled" type of luck.
Your assuming you have enough time left for your "luck" to kick in.

Not that I'm saying you don't, but well......

$1/grammar offense plus "Bob tax" of 12 cents.  I'll accept payment on behalf of everyone.  And now we're even.  Don't let it happen again.  You know we don't make mistakes like that.  Unless you're extremely tired... So I guess that pattern hasn't changed.  Still -- You know who's watching for that type of mistake.

Now if you pay me, I can invest that.  You could even tell me what to invest in.  Boom!  Instantly more money on your end... which could then be reinvested...


Except that creates a time paradox and possibly rips the fabric of time, resulting in the destruction of the whole universe, but... Might be worth a try.  Plus, there are other universes.

That seems to be a trend.  I've seen ones with video game characters popping into scene, causing havoc like that.  Someone decided to pick a cat with laser eyes.  I guess I'm not too impressed with that one.
