Anybody familiar with the story of John Titor?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor
In a nutshell, a message board user appeared in 1999 and claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. He then made a whole bunch of predictions to "prove" that he was who he said he was, with the caveat that he'd affected the space-time continuum by showing up here so his predictions might not happen.
Anyway, I've heard it was a publicity stunt for a POD novel. But there's something quite fascinating about the idea that so many people could believe something so far-fetched as a time traveling soldier from 2036 going back to 1999 to hang out and chat.
Any other web-lore like this that you guys find interesting?
