A few hours ago I was just sitting on the computer, when I hear my dog start to bark. This means he's just being dumb or someone is at the door. A few moments later my mom came up to my room, and told me calmly, "There's someone at the door for you, he says he's from the future." Now, this is not something I hear every day. I went downstairs to the door, and there was a guy standing outside, maybe 20 or 21 years old, that I had never seen before in my life. He held his hand out for a handshake and said "Hello, my name is Zane Figiam, I am from the future. This is a package for you." He was holding a small package wrapped in newspaper. I was quite entertained by this, so I played along. I've seen posts on here before where people get randomly handed plans for a time machine, supposedly that came from the future, so I asked him if it was plans for a time machine. He said no, and handed me the package. "I accept the responsibility of the future", I said, and he said goodbye and left. For a moment, I just stood in the doorway, a bit confused. Upon opening up the package, I was a bit suprised. It was a scrapbook devoted entirely to me, my AOL instant messenger name, and things posted on my website (a photo hub for me and my friends.), titled "Gem Missle: A Tribute to Velocity Gnome" It had away messages that I had used more then a half a year ago, and the effort put into the entire thing was astounding. This book contained pictures of me, my friends, my parents, and had a running theme of terminator 2, robocop, and zangief from street fighter (all the pictures are were freely available on my website though, it's not like they were of me walking to work). There is also zangief fanfiction included. The whole thing seems kind of stalker-ish, but I find it more funny. Now the question i'm just wondering is, who did this? I can't imagine any of my friends taking the time to do this, and it's not something that they'd do. Also, I had never seen this "Zane" guy before in my life. I am thinking a goon may have done it, but I didn't sign up for the goon stalker game, or really talk to any goons besides the ones that are already my good friends in real life. So all in all, i'm just a bit confused, but I find extremely amusing, and hope that the future contacts me again. Also, the CD was filled with 80s music, and other music I have never heard before. Pics of the book itself: (Taken with my digital camera at high res, resized to 1024x768, but to keep text readable they are each about 300k, sorry) All 23 pictures in a zip file: (6.72mb) http://www.transmogrified.net/pics/future/futurebook.ZIP Seperate: The front cover. Inside cover, and page 1. Pages 2-3. Pages 4-5. Pages 6-7. Pages 8-9. Pages 10-11. Pages 12-13. Pages 14-15. Pages 16-17. Pages 18-19. Pages 20-21. Pages 22-23. Pages 24-25. Pages 26-27. Pages 28-29.

That's pretty freaky dude. You should try and get finger prints or something. Or maybe a gun.

that's...pretty weird. while i did not view all of the pictures, and i did not read what the text said in those pictures i did look at...i think it would be more impressive if they had given more references to future incidents or something. what if they WERE from the future?

Astonishing. .... I don't know what to loving say. He made my other stalkers look like rookies. "Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn."

What's on the CD...it's the Sport's Almanac, isn't it?! I'll admit, I've always harbored a secret fantasy that some old man will be staring at me funny one day, and then come up to me and say he's me, from the future, and give me some dire warning.

My guess is a girl did it. What faggish guy takes the time to paste plastic gemstones on the cover of a scrapbook. Really cool though. Dibs on being your minister of defense.

Was Zane Figiam old enough to be born yet? You should kill him and see if the package vanishes.

"Zane Figiam" seems to be an anagram of "I Am Zangief", but beyond that i am confused as well.
