I have no idea how this came to be in my friend’s inbox, but he asked me what to do with it. Of course, I immediately thought of the SDMB.
"If you are a time traveler or alien and or in procession of alien or government technology I need your help! My case is truly genuine! I seek to work with someone who is of a kind nature, someone I can call my savior as well as a friend.

My life has been severely tampered with and cursed by evil beings!! I have suffered tremendously and am now dying!

I need to be able to:

Travel back in time.

Rewind my life including my age back to 4. I am in great danger and need this immediately!
I want to work with you in any way possible.

I am aware of two types of time travel one in physical form and the other in energy form where a snapshot of your brain is taken using either the dimensional warp or the brain snapshot device and then sends your consciousness back through time to part with your younger self. I’m almost certain the dimensional warp would be the safest and best solution. Please explain how safe and what your method involves.

I have a time machine now, but it has limited abilities and is useless without a vortex. If you can provide information on how to create vortex generator or where I can get some of the blue or red glowing moon crystals this would also be helpful. I am however concerned with the high level of radiation these crystals give off, if you could provide a shielding this would be helpful. I believe the vortex would have to be east-west polarized, North-south polarized vortexes are used for cross-dimensional time travel only. Also, I know about the three dimension 4 bit (CODE) our universe is written in. If you are one of the very few beings who can edit this code, or know the passwords which can be spoken over a vortex, please reply!

If you have this technology and can help me please
send me a (SEPARATE) email to: <deleted>213@aol.com

Thanks"

I’m almost positive there’s been an almost identical thread (could have been in GQ) within the last few months. I’d do a search, but it’s late and I have to get to bed.:frowning:

Sounds like a promotional thing, personally. You know, some guy trying to make himself the Next Big Thing on the Internet.

It’s no “I’m Peter Pan” site, but if there was a URL, I’d probably check it out.

Here’s one thread discussing that e-mail. I seem to recall another one, but it may have been lost when the boards were down.

I got a similar one asking if I knew the goals of the alien invaders…so I sent him a link to Mulder’s Creek. <shrugs> At least he can keep tabs on what Gremmlic is doing in Capeside:p .
