Flirting with death in the desert ● F**kin’ with fate ● Time traveling with Larry ● Where YOU can buy a Time Warp Detector ● What’s behind the secret wooden door in the desert? ● A scorpion takes revenge on Larry ● Fun in the Nevada Proving Grounds ● Meet a “paranormal researcher” ● All this and MORE in this time-warping adventure!

How do you ignore a story that says “Man discovers time warp.” Oh, the anticipation! Why? Because if it’s real and legit and not a hoax, well, that means… what? Life do-overs? Everybody gets a ticket back to the future?

Cars and planes and boats are handy and fun, but really, we’re all just like fish in a tank. The only way we ever really leave the tank is feet first. But with a time warp, maybe there’s time travel and… who knows?

So, you follow the story and see a video. And first thing you see is a nice-looking news chick with a huge rack. Here she is.

So far, so good. Then, you see him. Then you hear him. And what you’re hearing, though spoken with conviction and authority, is as nutty as someone talking about the Easter Bunny with conviction and authority.

Here’s the video from the local TV station. time warp near vegas

Like the famed Jerry McGuire line, you had me at hello, he lost me at “UFO” and “Black Hole.” Not that those things might not exist. They may. But odds are, he won’t be detecting them with the Differential Time Meter. Which is this thing. You can get one here, on Ebay for $219. 

 

 

 

 

 

What does it look like to you? Reminds me of this digital pedometer – only $1.79 from AliExpress.

 

 

 

More important than how Joshua Warren found the time warp is where he found it. In the desert near Las Vegas. Since Vegas is a portal of hell, that does add a luster to the story. But it also foreshadows its dubious nature. Los Angeles is the city of big, silly dreams. But for some, those dreams do materialize along with great wealth. Vegas is the city of small, silly dreams. How many people ever get wealthy at a blackjack table or roulette wheel or slot machine?

Nonetheless, the Differential Time Meter is a lot of fun. And I would so like to be proven wrong in my appraisal of it.
