I just got a weird new variant on that e-mail asking if anyone has access to a time machine. > [@](#): > > Hello, > If you are in possession of the Blue, Red or Green Time Warping moon crystals, or a vortex generator accounting for the temporal location settings of (X, Y, Z, X1, Y1, Z1, xq6), please make me an offer. It would be best if you are able to provide the proper shielding from the high level of radiation. Please make me an offer. I think this one’s as mundane and pointless as they come. :rolleyes: ---

Now that is quite a new twist on spam emails. I think I’ll send out a few asking for items that are quite impossible to own…
