View From the Bushes:

Looks like a time machine was recently auctioned on E-bay. Sorry I didn't post it early enough for any of you to make a bid (there's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm too worn out to come up with it). Here is what the seller had to say about it:

Hello, I am selling what I believe to be a time machine that was built in the year 2239 by Dr. J. S. Strauss. I found the machine under my house when I was doing remodeling to the bathroom. The machine was hidden in a old rotten wood chest along with some other findings that I believe to be related to the machine like old pictures, letters, etc. I dont know too much about time machines or electronics, but from my observations I believe that the machine might have caught on fire, at some time or another from the looks of the inside, and is now in a non-working condition. It also looks like there might be some parts missing on the inside, but I dont know. The time machine itself is not too heavy -- it weighs 20 pounds and it is 18" high by 23" wide and 11" depth.

From what I put together from all of the findings is that Dr. J. S. Strauss, who built the machine in 2239, went into the past to the early 1900's and the time machine broke down or caught on fire or something. From the pictures and letters it looks like he was living in Southern California for a while; it looks like he also met some friends and a girlfriend there.

I found the time machine in December of 2004 and I have tried to get it to work but I could not. I even called my best friend who has worked on cars, and even he could not get it to work. I know this time machine might be one of the most important discoveries of all time, but if I can't get the time machine to work, then it's not worth that much to me, so that is why im selling it on ebay. Also, I figured I could get a little extra money so I could finish remodeling my bathroom.

I'm not sure what else I can say...
