December 8 this year is Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day. The idea is to dress and act like a time traveler but never to actually tell anyone that you are one.
Some ideas:
- Walk up to random people and say “WHAT YEAR IS THIS?” and when they tell you, get quiet and then say “Then there’s still time!” and run off.
- Stand in front of a statue (any statue, really), fall to your knees, and yell “NOOOOOOOOO”
- Stare at newspaper headlines and look astonished.
- Take some trinket with you, hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say “In thirty years dial this number. You’ll know what to do after that.” Then slip away.
I think this may be something that I’ll have to take part in.
Hey I made a quick video to hopefully inform and promote the day:
