Another Educational Film

Just one week isn't too bad as far as we, here at the T.C.C., are concerned. So sit back and try not to fall asleep as you watch this next film that we snagged from the archive just for you.

*****UPDATE***** 4/25/07 We fixed some issues with this video. Those academic time travelers and their videos...nothing but problems.

How Time Travel Works (or Why Educational Videos Are Funny)

For those of you on a linear timeline, please excuse the apparent lack of posts. The T.C.C. staff have just been extremely busy (with actual time travel adventures!) and have found it difficult to keep track of a few lost weeks here and there. On an interesting side note, however, the Staff were digging around in some time travel history archives and came across a wonderful video. Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment and will have to put the video up at a later time. But you shouldn't have to wait too long...

UPDATE: Here is one educational video. Hopefully we can put another one up very soon.

A Tip for Beginners

Another week, another letter. This one’s from a reader who is new to time travel. She writes:

Dear T.T.C.,

Great job on the site! I can’t tell you what an inspiration you have been to me. Thanks to all of your helpful advice, I’m no longer afraid to venture out into the vast reaches of the space-time continuum. But I have one little question before I take that first trip—what should I pack for traveling to the future? I know you can’t tell me exactly what to expect without damaging the timeline, but maybe you could help me out with some wardrobe and equipment decisions?

Thanks So Much!

Dear Zelda,

Congratulations! It’s always exciting to hear about a first trip. Now to answer your question, it really depends how far into the future you’re going. We understand that it is generally a bad idea to publicly announce time travel departure and arrival dates, but what you should pack really does depend on how far you will be traveling. Not to worry, though, all is not lost! We recommend that you travel in short distances at first to gauge changes in fashion and social behavior. This is also a good way to minimize the unavoidable disorientation and shock associated with that first excursion into “the vast reaches of the space-time continuum”. As travel farther and farther, your body should acclimate to time travel and you should adjust to having to sneak around and blend in with other people/creatures. Think of it as training for a marathon run.

Be sure to write in and tell us how it goes!
The T.C.C. Staff
