My descendants who do not yet exist are bored with me
Someone talk me out of this thought: Assuming that time travel is someday invented, and knowing that I’ve never met any relatives from the future, I can assume that none of my descendants find me an interesting enough ancestor to come visit. Discuss.
This will likely be a horrible and convoluted stand-up joke very soon! Oh, man, y’all better buckle up for that!
I prefer to think your (and my) relatives have been versed on numerous time-travel movies where rips in the space time continuum occur, and know better than to mess around with saying things like “I AM A RELATIVE FROM THE FUTURE”.
On the other hand, this is not an uncommon saying on the subway.

Will, I think this was to be expected based on the quality of content on your site.

That’s funny, Will, I was just talking to your great-great-grandson about same thing this when we went to see Pan’s Labyrinthe together two nights ago.
After the movie, he discovered someone had broken into his hover car, so he travelled back in time two hours and parked in a better neighborhood, before returning to the future.

Weak minded time travellers are unable to remember that they came from a future time period. It doesn’t help that all time travel devices are womb shaped. I assure you, we are aware of the problem and are working on it.
