- digg it
- Sphiner, on 12/22/2007, -10/+151***** but i like it - digg
- wbagdon, on 12/22/2007, -3/+19what a load of *****!!! does anybody actually believe this crap?
- JVIikel, on 12/22/2007, -2/+33Of course it's not real. Did you see the tattoos? They both look brand new. Either as a grandpa he got the tat removed and then got a new one over it, or maybe it looks new because it *is* new...
Just throwing that out there.- robdiggity, on 12/22/2007, -0/+47Yes. This story can't be real because both tattoos look brand new.
Not because some ***** guy says he climbed under his sink and traveled into the future to meet himself at age 70, and recorded it on his mobile phone, and never described how he managed to return.
But then again maybe it was real - I couldn't understand a goddamn word of their darn-fangled future language.
- robdiggity, on 12/22/2007, -0/+47Yes. This story can't be real because both tattoos look brand new.
- pyro789x, on 12/22/2007, -18/+2the funny part is that the guy who claims he traveled in time doesn't actually have a tattoo.
- pyro789x, on 12/22/2007, -13/+2just kidding.
- Tenetri, on 12/22/2007, -0/+9his suit is black not?
- gn0stik, on 12/22/2007, -0/+82I have to agree. I just crawled under my sink and nothing happened.
- someguyouknow, on 12/22/2007, -0/+24It has to be leaking first.
- maddhopps, on 12/22/2007, -1/+14Wow, 30 years later and the tattoo hasn't faded, blurred, or grown larger from touch-ups. I'd say the tattoo artistry is a greater miracle than the 2 accelerated trips through time.
- magicmarc, on 12/22/2007, -0/+23I can imagine this starting as a BS story to his wife as to where he was that day, when he was supposed to be fixing the pipe in the kitchen, and it just took off, with him sticking to his story.
Meanwhile, he was having a wild time with a tattoo machine and a 70 year old man. - Sharky35, on 12/22/2007, -1/+21Maybe the tattoo is the source of the Vortex...
THATS why it didn't look faded.... Prove me wrong. - TomTruelle, on 12/22/2007, -0/+8I guess the only way well know if it is or not is in 30 some years... If hes chilling on a random beach somewhere and meets his younger self.
- TexMexMatt, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11Yes, its *****. I knew directly where this came from. Its a commercial for a Swedish company called AMF Pension and its about that you should safe for your future. In this he talked about having it really good in the future and why??? Yes, he has saved money in AMF. This isn't the only one of these either. There is a whole series of "What would it be if you could meet yourself in the future" commercials.
- tpaine, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3So future me, got any stock picks?
- television, on 12/22/2007, -6/+2i haven't wtched it yet, to be honest i don't really give a *****. however i have to make a comment on what a bunch of losers you front page hogging, digg commenting, kevin rose sucking wankers you are. so the title reads time travel, diggers = no wai! innacurate. grow some balls and go to school, what did you expect!
pffft, have a merry ***** christmas, consumerist bs, western, americanized lies. i hate it all, along with all those patriotic ***** americans.. the sadest thing is that all yur young lads are at war, what a ***** mess you made eh? don't tell me these guys will be remembered for all the ***** they caused, abu grahib, etc. probably. another vietnam in the pocket, death on christmas day, what a pile of bollocks this all is.
you ego tripping bastard, you've read this far and i can feel you getting angry, and your thinking your smart ass comment will be funny or classy, because you think i give a *****. i'm not even gonna read this. please give your diggs to the next guy who actually speaks the truth.
oh and where is all the advertising for the front page holiday festival? c'mon we all know the top submitters have all kinds of deals, bots more likely, i hope you die you corrupt *****! you remember that fox news bs.. that says it all, the same story about fox news being great submitted twice in the same week, THEY'RE STILL LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH.
did i say happy holidays yet, yeah tot.- magicmarc, on 12/23/2007, -0/+2I like your name...
*presses mute*
- magicmarc, on 12/23/2007, -0/+2I like your name...
- nubnub, on 12/22/2007, -5/+116You know you are traveling through time at the moment unless you stopped time o_O
- Vullkan, on 12/22/2007, -0/+39if you stop the time you will not be aware of that, after it continues its like it never stopped.
- R031E5, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5But what if it never continued? O.o
- robdiggity, on 12/22/2007, -9/+4wuh... what if... what if C-A-T spelled... spelled dog.
- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -1/+4The word never has no meaning with time stopped. An instant and forever are the same thing.
- cdemi, on 12/22/2007, -0/+6my head asplode
- R031E5, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5But what if it never continued? O.o
- AllenS, on 12/22/2007, -9/+8Stop it! You're hurting my brain with you logic!
- Hollic, on 12/22/2007, -0/+60"I have a time machine at home. It only goes forward at regular speed. It's essentially a cardboard box and on the outside I wrote 'Time Machine' in Sharpie."
-Demetri Martin - phre3k187, on 12/22/2007, -0/+47"We invented a time machine that travels to the future at the speed of time"
- cowboy86, on 12/22/2007, -8/+2or you go faster than time. Which is why you age differently in a plane vs. on the ground. Imagine if you could travel at light speed for a day. You would come back down to earth and 50+ years would've passed.
- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5You, my friend, are an ignoramus.
- ThndrShk2k, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1It would only be a few seconds or minutes, because traveling 1/730 lightyears, turning around, and traveling back isn't much of a distance.
that would be 1 day on earth, and a shorter time for you relatively.- emjaymj, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1You're correcting him on an incorrect inference you made. He meant a subjective day from his perspective, not earth's.
- Gabberwok, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Um, you don't travel faster than time. What the hell would that even mean? It's called time dilation, and it's due to the nature of space-time. There's also a gravitational effect where the stronger the gravitational field, the slower time seems to go due to general relativity.
- nano19, on 12/22/2007, -2/+1I wonder if i crawl under my sink, maybe i can get the last 5 minutes of my life back...
- glinsvad, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1Wanna stop time? Go really, really fast. Special relativity dictates that if you travel at exactly the speed of light, the time-space continuum collapses as time loses it's meaning when the direction of motion is Lorentz contracted into a singularity. Unfortunately, due to time dilation, it would take you an infinite amount of time to accelerate to the speed of light...
- Vullkan, on 12/22/2007, -0/+39if you stop the time you will not be aware of that, after it continues its like it never stopped.
- creep303, on 12/22/2007, -3/+165Safety not guaranteed!
- Harbinger67, on 12/22/2007, -0/+25Push it to the limit!
- blackbeardtron, on 12/22/2007, -6/+3EXTREME!!!
- JT114881, on 12/22/2007, -1/+34I have only done this once.
- n0tj0sh, on 12/22/2007, -0/+25Must bring your own weapons.
- jaytea90, on 12/22/2007, -3/+2I have a safer way: go to the north or south pole (but considering ice caps prob south) walk around it.....
- billbillbilly, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1better yet run around it
- cfuse, on 12/22/2007, -0/+13http://www.vagabondish.com/wanted-time-traveler-br ...
- t0ny, on 12/22/2007, -2/+4I did do the nasty in the pasty.
- rodgerdodger5, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1We have a zergling that lives in the cabinet under our sink. He eats garbage. Also squeals quite a bit. Very annoying.
- Harbinger67, on 12/22/2007, -0/+25Push it to the limit!
- solitonica, on 12/22/2007, -4/+163Too bad he didn't give a more detailed story. I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't have crossed his mind to get some useful information from the future. The only trouble I have with this story is that he does indeed seem very genuine. Then again, so do some actors. Also how do you just come back to the present? Alright, so I'm in the future and this is an incredible twice in a lifetime opportunity. Oops! Look at the time! I need to get back and get my sink fixed before dinner. The plumbers always overlook those pesky wormholes. Bye, me! Nice meeting, me.
- jtbandes, on 12/22/2007, -22/+3You can't even imagine how many problems time travel would create. Which is probably why we don't do it.
- Intenseboredom, on 12/22/2007, -3/+32I always figured the reason why we don't time travel is because....
we can't- GayMafiaKingpin, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4Well, you are apparently wrong. There's a video to prove it. Much like pictures, videos don't lie.
- Intenseboredom, on 12/22/2007, -3/+32I always figured the reason why we don't time travel is because....
- SkyFire360, on 12/22/2007, -2/+12What I want to know is how he got back. I mean, didn't his older self find it a little weird that there was a random opening in spacetime? Does this happen a lot in the future or something?
- solidsmoke, on 12/22/2007, -0/+26Well, I guess his older self would remember travelling through time and meeting HIS older self.
- max420, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11Exactly
- thedaylights, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11Precisely.
- blackbeardtron, on 12/22/2007, -0/+16Hmm, yes... Indubitably.
- cdemi, on 12/22/2007, -1/+4unerringly
- appleseed1234, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1So we wait then!
- max420, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11Exactly
- threemagic, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5Right.. the coming back from the future would be the important part of the camera work.
- solidsmoke, on 12/22/2007, -0/+26Well, I guess his older self would remember travelling through time and meeting HIS older self.
- GregR, on 12/22/2007, -0/+33It's interesting that his older self was wearing a shirt that looked like what you could buy in the stores today.
Pretty boring future where styles aren't going to change. A photo with a newspaper or some piece of technology would have been much more convincing.- thedaylights, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4Hey this a picture of my future self holding an automated lemon-rinder! Would that work for ya?
- justinmt7, on 12/22/2007, -0/+8In the sit-down interview he's wearing the same blue shirt as the old version of himself
- lumbergh, on 12/22/2007, -0/+18Have you seen what old people wear? My mom, who is 71, still has outfits (complete with padded shoulders) from like the 70's.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 12/22/2007, -1/+10If you are going to lie, keep it simple. That would explain much of this.
You know, you have a video phone -- pan around a little. The same clearing and house you were in would have grown trees and such -- hard to fake that convincingly when comparing two locations.
>> I'd add that I don't think Time Travel is possible -- just in case a consensus of opinions matters. There is no past or future -- but you can SEE events, because causality can be fixed at points. There is NO other time but the present -- didn't your mom ever tell you that? - mthe0ry, on 12/22/2007, -3/+3Time travel to the future is possible in the relativistic, lorentzian sense. Time travel backwards in time is impossible and I'm surprised they found a physicist willing to ruin his career for the sake of this short internet film. How about instead of filming your future self, ask him to tell you something impossible to predict that 'happened' in 2008. That's the only way to make people not just think you're a raving lunatic who found another, older actor and instructed him to pencil something on his arm that looks like your tattoo.
- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1And going faster than light was possible in a Newtonian sense, what's your point?
- riggs32, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2the only problem is that if you actually went to the future and found out about some event that happens in 2008, when you come back to the present and tell everybody on the internet about it, chances are you just changed history and the event never ends up happening.
/watched back to the future way to much as a kid - InfiniteNothing, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Time travel is possible if you find a loopdeedoo in the space time continuum. I believe that is the technical term
- jtbandes, on 12/22/2007, -22/+3You can't even imagine how many problems time travel would create. Which is probably why we don't do it.
- iraq, on 12/22/2007, -3/+107Vile hippies have been able to do this for decades... it's called LSD. :-)
- jcc6655, on 12/22/2007, -0/+35you can't let them know our secrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Vullkan, on 12/22/2007, -1/+8through time and space and yoohooo
- seanmc303, on 12/22/2007, -1/+17Crazy. The only way I knew how to time travel was with copious amounts of liqueur. Generally there is a spinning sensation. Then, next thing you know, you find yourself (albeit pant less) in the near future. Don't ask me why people don't wear pants in the future. All I know is that I sure don't.
- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4/Dave Attel
- seanmc303, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2??? tyywebb, you're not wearing pants are you?
- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4/Dave Attel
- there, on 12/22/2007, -1/+4"how to travel back in time"
Listen to a speech from Huckabee, Lieberman, or Ahmadinejad. - DeadElephant, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Don't forget to set your watch dude.

- raffyoh, on 12/22/2007, -1/+1i just laughed over this for like 15 minutes and will probably do so well into tomorrow
- rabidziggy, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1***** I live like 10 min from that guy in Ojai! I better look him up so I can travel to the past.
- ElWaffleGrande, on 12/22/2007, -4/+244Holy *****. His cabinet links up to Narnia.

- flonglonger, on 12/22/2007, -1/+2Maybe his root cellar goes inside John Malkovich
- CATSCEO, on 12/22/2007, -7/+24This is a advert for a cell company, it was disproved awhile back.

- DarkenKO, on 12/22/2007, -3/+25what? how did this sell any cell phones? our phones can film the future, with long distance clearity!
- xbirdmanx, on 12/22/2007, -0/+35You mean this guy really didn't travel into the FUTURE?!?!?!?!?
- MrAction408, on 12/22/2007, -0/+18makes more sense than a vortex under your sink
- verkon, on 12/22/2007, -3/+5Then why haven't I seen it on television? I watch a lot of television. Also, I am from Sweden, and they spoke Swedish in the clip.
- teckieee, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5not all commercials make it to the tv stations, specially those that are as crapy as this one. some of them end up on youtube though.

- TremorX, on 12/22/2007, -1/+180I don't think his flux capacitor is firing at exactly 1.21 Jiggawatts, if you know what I'm saying.
- chicken101, on 12/22/2007, -0/+16The engines on, but no one is behind the wheel.
- Takuro, on 12/22/2007, -15/+5Gigawatts.... pronounced most commonly as "gig-a-what," although the scientific community does recognize the less common pronunciation "Jig-a-what," as used in Back to the Future.
- sadsadrobot, on 12/22/2007, -1/+6But then he wouldn't be quoting it as accurately.
- TremorX, on 12/22/2007, -1/+10Right on, it's all about phonics, and I'm freakin' hooked on 'em.
- NullPolarity, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2It's called eye dialect.

- tyywebb, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2It kills! It kills!
- Ramble, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Gosh!
- snausages, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1That's what I'm talking about.
- skews13, on 12/22/2007, -3/+9yeah.i met someone at concert back in the 70's,who told me the same thing,after he took a hit of window pane
- bnorman, on 12/22/2007, -2/+28Or just pay an old guy that kind of looks like you to get your same tattoo. And head to the beach!
- ih8ualot, on 12/22/2007, -0/+9Or buy a sharpie and do it yourself.
- rarson, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3And then get him to stand with his face directly next to the sun, so that you can't see his face clearly. Also, have what is obviously a third person there to operate the "camera phone" (quality looks a lot better than most cell phone videos I've seen, too).
I don't really disagree with the fact that it might be possible to stumble on a random wormhole like that, but I do doubt the possibility of a human passing through one intact. There's just not a damn thing that is convincing about this video.
- nosfan1019, on 12/22/2007, -1/+54I'm now absolutely 100% convinced
- pianonotes1010, on 12/22/2007, -2/+100Who is holding the camera?
- desu43fnoc, on 12/22/2007, -2/+13He's holding it with his other arm, hence you never see it. Thats how most people take pictures of themselves with mobiles... that or just set it on something
- rarson, on 12/22/2007, -2/+3No he's not. The camera is too far away from them. Not only that, even if he were holding it, how did he pan right down to their arms so well when he's standing in front of the camera? The video looks too good to be real.
- sgoogle, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Too good to be real? It's from the future, of cause it is good. He used his future mobile :p
- rarson, on 12/22/2007, -2/+3No he's not. The camera is too far away from them. Not only that, even if he were holding it, how did he pan right down to their arms so well when he's standing in front of the camera? The video looks too good to be real.
- hazard, on 12/22/2007, -0/+59Easy! His teenage self who also happened to be under the sink, who do you think talked them into getting those silly tattoos?
- knobtwiddler, on 12/22/2007, -8/+4quiet you!
- desu43fnoc, on 12/22/2007, -2/+13He's holding it with his other arm, hence you never see it. Thats how most people take pictures of themselves with mobiles... that or just set it on something
- magixx2, on 12/22/2007, -1/+142He probably just hit his head on one of the pipes.
- solitonica, on 12/22/2007, -2/+18It usually gets to my head when I hit one of my pipes too.
- alexidigg, on 12/22/2007, -0/+12or accidentally took a big sniff of cleaning chemicals he keeps under the sink
- TonyLocNE, on 12/22/2007, -2/+6then what about the video?
- superyounan1, on 12/22/2007, -1/+23its been dugg before. I can't imagine going to the future, meeting my future self, and not having much more to say than that.
anyone can get duplicate tattoos with an old guy and take a 10 second choppy video clip.- kaplanfx, on 12/23/2007, -1/+1I'd agree, except they have nearly the same facial structure, look at the noses. Thats what freaked me out, it really does look like the same person just older.
- z3r0c0O1, on 12/22/2007, -27/+3Get a Delorean to 85 miles/hour?
- SonicEarth, on 12/22/2007, -0/+18That's 88 miles per hour.
- krisscofield, on 12/22/2007, -1/+6..so it can do...? Oh, you meant 88 mph!
- yogurtslinger, on 12/22/2007, -5/+7Do you mean 88 MPH? *****
- RxDaniel, on 12/22/2007, -0/+12Don't mess up a back to the future reference on digg, you will be destroyed.
- Ligersinkenya, on 12/22/2007, -1/+18Damn!
And all along, it was under the sink. - Tanbo, on 12/22/2007, -3/+10Like that little video he took is supposed to make it believable? How was he even taking it with his camera, it looks pretty far back to get both of them in the video. Or maybe he also met his grown up kid who took the video.
If I was in the future, I'd be interested in a lot more things than meeting an older version of myself. - SkyValley, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11Even if someone did once travel through time, it certainly wasn't that guy.
- JoeBaynham, on 12/22/2007, -0/+11I am so going to try to walk under my sink! I just hope I don't cause a paradox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox

- RxDaniel, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3Did his camera phone also hit its head?
- SIant, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1or he slipped on the water AND hit his head.
- KeyLimePie, on 12/22/2007, -0/+179You must not have been here the first time this was on Digg back in 2043.

- froman98, on 12/22/2007, -1/+18I thought time traveling was when you got too stoned or drunk and all of a sudden realize it's two hours later than you thought?

- OfficeSpacing, on 12/22/2007, -0/+7Yes, time travel is possible, if you're schizophrenic, or a scammer, like this guy.
- drudometkin, on 12/22/2007, -1/+26you forgot to put the crystals in
- gettempapa, on 12/22/2007, -0/+6There's plenty of crystal meth under the sink, probably what made him think he traveled to the future.
- moocow1452, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Ya canna do it without da Dilithium Crystals, sir! They control the matta-antematta reaction that powers da engine to go ta Warp Speed!
- eanbowman, on 12/22/2007, -1/+37That man came up with the best excuse for a video of him and his secret lover I've heard of yet.
- luke374, on 12/22/2007, -0/+88I would do this too if my dad and I had matching tattoos.
- flonglonger, on 12/22/2007, -2/+1Don't tattoos fade over time? The "future self's" tattoo looked as new as the "young self's" tattoo. I was believing everything until I saw that then I was like "whoa hang on here what's all this"

- DarkenKO, on 12/22/2007, -4/+33burried for inaccurate title...
also... photoshopped- djdole, on 12/22/2007, -0/+9Indeed. This vid is DEFINITELY not a 'How To' guide.
- RxDaniel, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3You just crawl under this guys sink. Then you make up some ***** story about traveling through time and "prove" it by taking a picture of you and your dad's matching tattoos. I thought it was pretty clear.
- thedaylights, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5You can tell... the pixels are all wrong.

- ephrils1, on 12/22/2007, -13/+8I've seen this before. Hard to prove if it's real or not when the government hides technology from us and has been for at least 50 years. Who knows really.
- TrevorPace, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0I don't think you understand the concept of time travel. It's been deemed physically impossible except for possibly worm holes. And a worm hole isn't something you can make with a machine. That's why it's called THEORETICAL PHYSICS ... because it hasn't been proven.
- SuperKaioken, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0maybe it's been moved out of the subject of theoretical physics into the practical. One wouldn't know unless it was revealed

- beersnob, on 12/22/2007, -0/+25*****! Old me's tattoo should be faded/half-green. Looked brand new!
- Ibox, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5maybe he had it touched up.
- TxAggie08, on 01/07/2008, -0/+1Lol, yeah. The tat is the smoking gun on this story all right.I was on the fence till that. I mean who doesn't have a two-way time travel worm whole under their sink these days.
- dichotom, on 12/22/2007, -1/+17That video is from an old commercial, old and inaccurate.
- agilbe10, on 12/22/2007, -11/+12my rectum completely inverted and sucked in my dog after seeing this. I WAS AMAZED!
wanker- hayzeus, on 12/22/2007, -1/+9Dugg up for awesome mental image
- AmICoolNow, on 12/22/2007, -0/+8So easily faked. There actually isn't really anything to 'fake' other than saying "dude, it happened" and putting a temporary tattoo on someone's arm.
- seanmc303, on 12/22/2007, -1/+7There is no possible way a tattoo can be faked. The technology to fake tattoos only exists in the future. So, in order for that tattoo to be fake, he would have had to travel into the future to steal the technology and travel back to the present time to create the fake tattoo on his dad. You must be out of your mind. There! I just scientifically proved that this story is real.
- mikhon, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5was that supposed to be serious?
- Smeed, on 12/22/2007, -0/+8Well in 30 or 40 something years when he meets up with his younger self he can tell him something useful.
- dandonia, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1why not bring some futuristic technologhy back or some designs, hell he knows what lottery numbers are going to be for the next 30 years
- pepemt, on 12/22/2007, -0/+19shouldn't the old guy's tattoo have been more faded?
- windowi, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2yeah thats the first thing i thought
- notman, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1It also appears longer... at least it did to me.
- thedaylights, on 12/22/2007, -1/+16Digg comments are like a conversation with an Alzheimer's patient.
- RxDaniel, on 12/22/2007, -0/+6I wish I could time travel so I could go to the past and enjoy reading that comment all over again.
- rtcrump, on 12/22/2007, -1/+55This is from a Swedish retirement fund commercial. Buried.
- dilbertmouse, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3Source?
- Molle7, on 12/23/2007, -0/+3As stated, It's from the Swedish retirement fund company "AMF Pension". They have a campaign which involves people meeting their future self. Here are two more, shorter commercials:

- joshuagor44, on 12/22/2007, -6/+0You can't time travel. The most we could ever accomplish is looking into the past or changing the rate of time.

- mohabias, on 12/22/2007, -1/+3we've known how to time travel for a while, its just really hard. Get going the speed of light or half or whatever for 5 min and you will have traveled several hundred years into the future. Einstein said that time changes with motion, it slows down. So time will have slowed for you and progressed 5 min, while, on earth, time would go the same speed, and have progressed much further.

- djcll6122, on 12/22/2007, -4/+1If he did travel to the future, that would have removed him from the present and he just would've appeared in the future when he arrived. so then how would he have seen a future version of himself if he had left/skipped time in the present? he wouldn't be around to age, or pull said shennanigans
- pyro789x, on 12/22/2007, -0/+3not if he returned eventually, although he would be a bit older than he was previously
- djcll6122, on 12/22/2007, -0/+0but how could he be in two places at once?

- dekki, on 12/22/2007, -0/+5The first clip you see in the intro (a woman hugging her older self) is from an Swedish pension fund ad. There are several different ads with the same plot, find a strange way to the future and visit your self living the good life (with the money from your pension). Also everyone is speaking Swedish so this clip is probably just and non-aired version of that ad.
- heyiquit, on 12/22/2007, -8/+3Why is this on digg?
- kucing, on 12/22/2007, -3/+60I just came from the past to digg this.

- floridiot2, on 12/22/2007, -1/+5Very clever. You get 2 diggs.
- DaisyFresh, on 12/23/2007, -0/+2What a convenient mistake.
Probably the only double posting I'll ever digg. - kaplanfx, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1I see what you did there.
