    Uh no. That is incorrect. 54 years ago, time travel was not invented by Doc Brown. It was invented by yours truly. K thx bai.

    I didnt really look at the pic since I was rushing over the jump to read about time travel (wtf, why hadnt I heard about this??!!).
    Oh. The movie....good movie, but I was pretty excited thinking this was the REAL DEAL. #fluxcapacitorinvention

    It's just too bad he didn't have a smarter sidekick, who would've asked why he would take such a huge risk going 88 miles per hour while going into flux dispersal, unaware of what obstacle could instantaneously appear in your path when materializing in a different time frame.

    Er, I mean, freakin' sweet! #fluxcapacitorinvention

    @Kaiser-Machead: There's an even bigger problem since wherever/whenever you actually end up, there's bound to be some matter there(unless you're time traveling in space in which case: crapshoot), so it would result in a nuclear fusion reaction and you'd explode. Details, details. #fluxcapacitorinvention

    @MarcusMaximus: Actually, since you're materializing in the earth's atmosphere, a fusion reaction may occur whether or not a solid object is in your path anyway, since you'd instantaneously occupy that volume of air. lol #fluxcapacitorinvention

    @Kaiser-Machead: Who says you would materialize on Earth, even? You might as well appear out in space while the solar system might have been far, far away at that particular point in time.

    Does time travel ever factor in the relative movement of your point of origin? Not only is the Earth rotating, but it's also moving in relation to the Sun, which is moving in relation to all sorts of things within our galaxy, which is moving in relation to other galaxies and so on. Who knows where Earth was absolutely, 30 years ago.

    Doc Brown, must've been a genius indeed... #fluxcapacitorinvention

    @microfridge: That's assuming that the time traveler vanishes from Time A and reappears at Time B without ever passing through the intervening time. It's perfectly possible (as possible as any of this is) to assume that the traveler simply goes out of phase with standard progressing time, then comes back into phase at the destination time. As they pass through the intervening time without experiencing it, they can somehow remain gravitationally bound to the Earth and everything else, thus maintaining their relative position and momentum. #fluxcapacitorinvention

    @maven2k: The fan-boys will not give an Android phone design credit until it DOES look exactly like the iPhone; at which time of course they will begin to criticize it for copying and go on to rave about how once you've designed one good phone, you should try as hard as you can not to change it, and release it over and over again. #iphonevsdroidcomic

    @happyandyv: Why yes, because we all know that's why there is only one kind of phone in the world and everyone should love it because it's perfect and we all have the same wants, needs, tastes, etc... Wow, that was a ton of sarcasm. #iphonevsdroidcomic

    Worst. Webcomic. Ever.

    There's no shame in being happy about the aesthetics of a product you purchase. You'd do it with a kitchen, with a car, with a house, with a sofa; why wouldn't you do it with a device that you interact with all day?
