I know, it doesn't come out till April of 2008 but once I get it, I'll just install it in my Ford Focus, hop back 4 months, and give it to myself (from you) as a Christmas present!

But then, of course, I won't be able to keep from crowing about it. Which means you'll know I already got one and then you won't order it for me...which means I would never get it in April, and would never go back in time to give it to myself, which then....

Time travel gives me a headache.

Sci-Fi Cliches To Try At Home

I think it'd be cool to rush up to a somewhat random person on the street, ask them wildly, "What's today's date???" To which they'd suspiciously reply, "Um, October 10th...why?" Then you'd say, "No...no...what year is it? What year??" (optional vigorous shaking with both hands on their upper arms). They'd take a small step back and slowly say, "....um, 2007." You would drop you arms, say something to yourself along the lines of, "...I've overshot again" or, "...then I still have time - I still have time!!" and then run off, laughing or crying.

Hey, it happens all the time in time travel movies. Why not now?
