Last Week's Question - - Time travel: one of the most fantastic and confusing science fiction
ideas
ever. Heroes and villains zooming off all over time and space with
dastardly plans for disaster or mind-bending solutions of salvation.
What
I'm interested in is not the where, why, and how of time travel, but
rather,
the what, as in, what kind of vessel/car/phone booth/perfectly rounded
sphere is used hurl through time? If you were to build a time traveling
device in your spare time, what kind of configuration would you use and
why?

Your Answers -
Alex Y. - Who in their right mind wouldn't use a Delorian??
(Oh Alex, that's so been done...here at The Stump we try to encourage creativity--editor)
Baker P. - I would use an eggplant shaped vessel, for obvious reasons. It would be a deep purple, with nice
green trim. It might even have a decal on it (but not a lightning bolt, how pedestrian do you think I
am?).
(good to know some things never change--editor)
Justin S. - A massive blimp with some obnoxious cartoon fish on the side is the only way to go. Can you imagine seeing a huge portal opening in the sky and a lightning covered dirigible bursting forth? Now that's power.

This Week's Question - If you were to suddenly become the owner and manager of a local "7 / 11," what, if any, changes would you make to the establishment (remember, you have an unlimited budget)?
