Saw a funny quote that made me think of MAI.

"If you think writing in the proper tense is difficult now, just wait until time travel was possible." ~Unknown



[small]Sometimes you gotta leave your zone of safety. You have to manufacture Inspirado. You gotta get out of the apartment. You've got to run with the wolves. You've got to dive into the ocean and fight with the sharks. Or just treat yourself to a delicious hot fudge sundae........ with nuts. - Jack Black[/small]
 
Hi,
Take a look at Douglas Adams' 5 book trilogy about the Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy - Not the awful recent movie version but the books ( or the original Britich TV version) - he has a long discussion of the multiple and complex tenses needed after time travel became possible.

I see that Eoin somebody has since added a sixth volume to the trilogy... does anyone know whether it's any good? Treading dangerous ground trying to append to that one!

Annihilannic.
