Today, I experienced time travel.

[Mr. Poopypants]

OK, so this morning, I hit snooze, when my alarm went off again, it was 6:20. I got up and went downstairs, when I went into the kitchen it was 6:51. Now, I don't walk fast in the morning, but it doesn't take 30 mins. to get down the stairs. Here's my theory. This morning, a hole was ripped in the time/space continuum at the top of my stairs.When I went back upstairs the clock in the bedroom also said 6:51, so I thought long and hard about this and I think I traveled through time.

Your stairs appear to behave like a time escalator! It seems no time elapsed at all in your trip from the kitchen back to the bedroom!You could burn off a whole day by making just 47 trips downstairs and back (actually 46.4516, but you need to round up). But why would you want to do that? Seems like a lot of stair climbing just to travel forward in time one day.Have you tried traversing the stairs backwards? Maybe it'll reverse the effect...or get you in the hospital for a couple of weeks...

[Mr. Poopypants]

My house isn't all that big really, so it only takes about 15 seconds to go from kitchen to bedroom.

Back away from the waterbong and no one will get hurt....

A serious possibility aside from time travel might be that you had a petit mal seizure somewhere between the bedroom and the kitchen...where you just stop and are basically "gone" for any length of time, then when you snap out of it you have no awareness that any time has passed. You feel like it's continuous even when it's not. But 30 minutes is an awfully long time for that...I think those are usually really short, 5 min or so tops.Maybe you were abducted by aliens...that can cause missing time too.

Now we're going to have to call you Poopy Van Winkle! Did you have a long white beard when you arrived at the kitchen?Another theory is that you might have experienced some sort of waking dyslexia while you were still sort of sleepy, and you may have misread the original clock as 6:20 when it was actually 6:50.... transposing the 5 for a 2... looks kind of similar only upside down... so that raises the question... we're you horizontal or vertical when reading the clock???

Quote, originally posted by Kari »Maybe you were abducted by aliens...that can cause missing time too. No, my (removed) doesn't hurt. I don't think I read the clock wrong, I was horizontal and then vertical, both times it said 6:20. I'm sticking with my theory that a wormhole exists in the doorway between my bedroom and the hallway. Maybe another me in a parallel universe was running late and decided to switch places with me, which would mean right now, I am the other me from the other dimension and the real me was on time to work today but in a parallel universe. Damn. Now my head hurts.

Could this be something that happened when you got married - some kind of space/time continuum change?

[Viben' round]

Are you sure it wasn't 4:20?

[Mr. Poopypants]

I haven't done that in years. It's been at least 4 years since I have "smoked" so it couldn't be that.
