The Unforeseen Complications of Time-Travel
by TD Euwaite

I spoke with Dr!. Feinman about Mother!.
I didn’t tell him about the time-travel business,
I simply told him that she was having migraines!.
“She should come in for some tests!.”
I didn’t know how to tell him that she may have
exposed to extinct germs and viruses while
visiting the year 32 C!.E!.
How do you tell a doctor something so…difficult!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
2!.5 cubits, 11 fathoms, 2 stone 10!. I think I should throw in 1-1/2 furlongs for good measure, and a couple of radians, and maybe a wavelength or two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would walk in your Mother's shoes any day!.!.!.provided she really could time-travel!.

Cute poem, and, they're getting cuter!!! "Hey! MOSES! Get your buttt over here and RATE this poem! NOW! Ark can wait a minute!!!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

6 fathoms (36 feet), 2 cubits (22 inches), and 2 stones (28 pounds)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Turn that machine around to 2200 C!.E!. They'll have a cure then!. I think she caught that germ in 46 B!.C!.E!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say it's more correctly 8 spans, but if I must resort to these other measures: 5 cubits!.!.!.6 fathoms as this is a Thursday and 14 stone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some questions and concerns will never grow old!. To fathom this, stand on 3 cubits and try to throw a stone!. The answer is where it hits!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The depth in fathoms I would mark twain,
The breadth in cubits I would square,
The stone weight all but two pounds tare,
Let's hope Mom's not carrying the Andromeda Strain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
