Edmonton-area man looking for ‘serious buyers’ for homemade time machine

A homemade time machine is for sale in the Edmonton area, but its creator wants its next owner to "take it to the next level."

I wonder how many "serious buyers" he'll attract?

Er none - as it says "Alberta man Pat Gooley is selling an intricate time machine he built for his grandchildren for $850. CTV News Edmonton's Matt Woodman takes a tour." It's not meant to be anything but a big toy.

Spoilsport. :bgrin:
 
One of my favorite bits in The Big Bang Theory was when (Leonard, I think) bought what he thought was a tabletop replica of the one from the movie for something like $800. (I can totally see that!) But it turned out to be a full-sized, working replica. (I'd definitely get one, at that price!) By "working" I meant the levers and the big canopy wheel moved. All the guys were there when he tested it the first time, and when he pulled the lever back the others went speeding around the apartment pretending to be in a time-lapse.
(Nit: Leonard pulled the lever back -- it's pushing it forward that makes you go forward in time! Nerds should know that!)
 
Look, my time machine was working when I parked it. It won't take much to get it up and running again. Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers. No lowballers. I know what I got!

I also remember the bit where Leonard and Sheldon were reading through the flatmate agreement and came to the part where if either of them invented a working time machine, they agreed to immediately come back to that moment. They both went quiet and waited a few seconds before carrying on reading.

I remember when we were kids, me and my little brother worked on making a time machine for a few years. This consisted primarily of buying crap tv's and radios at yard sales, disassembling them, and then re-assembling the parts randomly.

There was a comedy routine I vaguely remember in which a crowd chanted,
"What do we want?"
"Time travel!"
"When do we want it?"
"Doesn't matter!"
