Hello,
I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms. In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redirect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference. After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email. Thank You

No really, that's the funniest one I've ever seen hehe

Merlin · 27th July 2003, 22:46

All that fancy technology, and send it "in a brown paper bag". Well thought out, Einstein.

anubis2003 · 28th July 2003, 00:29

That's great. I gotta use that website more often. Threaten people when I figure out their address.

Mwahaha.

Fickle · 28th July 2003, 01:37

lies. They're all lies I tell you.

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 28th July 2003, 01:48

I found my house, too.

Nimelennar · 28th July 2003, 01:57

Can you find one of those that works well in Canada... I can't get it past a general view of the Greater Toronto Area

Coman · 28th July 2003, 02:16

Use http://www.mapquest.com/

instead of globexplorer. Doesnt wotk on Canada though.

anubis2003 · 28th July 2003, 02:24

Mapquest doesn't have aerial shots though, does it? Just normal pictures.

I couldn't get too far in on my house - I wasn't sure which one it was.

Nimelennar · 28th July 2003, 02:24

MapQuest works on Canada, but no real-life shots.

(I've been using MapQuest for a long time, but I wanted actual satellite photos.)

Coman · 28th July 2003, 02:35

Mapquest has aerial photos.

Colonel Sanders · 28th July 2003, 04:11

Mapquest uses globe explorer for their maps. And their map is too old - doesn't have my house.

MetallichicA · 28th July 2003, 04:25

Col. Sanders, your sig rocks

It reminds me of the Kentucky Virus, where someone sends you a letter in the mail, written out longhand, that says, "This here is a virus, y'all. Write it out and send it to all yer friends" or something to that effect. hehehehehe

dlinkwit27 · 28th July 2003, 04:37

ack! he doesn't lie!

MetallichicA · 28th July 2003, 04:38

HOLY CRAP IT'S SPREADING! RUN FOR COVER!

Exabrial · 28th July 2003, 04:58

Can someone figure out that address from the coordinates?

True, but they dont have GlobeXplorer emblems all over their photos.

I'm not sure, but there seem to be quite a few that do.

You can buy those projector lens things on ebay for about us$10. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3040503855

oli_wal · 17th August 2003, 23:07

grrrr... yeah... hate those emails.

Anyone here bought/tried those projection things?
Not going to myself. Just wondered if they were any good? What was the quality like?

Viper007Bond · 18th August 2003, 09:12

Hmm, weird things.

They would be crappy quality because you are taking the number of pixels in say a 20" TV and magnifying it to a large size. Ever look at a TV close up? You'd be able to see the red, green and blue pixels quiet easily.

Same kind of thing happens when you try to blow up an image on the computer.

You can't have an output that is higher quality than the input.

unless of course, you have a higher output quality than the input quality, then you can.
