A Chinese farmer has a stallion. One day the stallion runs away. The village people come to him and say, "Ah, such bad luck!"
The farmer shrugs, "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?"
A few days later the stallion returns with three mares. The village people come to him and say, "Ah, such good luck!"
The farmer shrugs, "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?"
The next week the farmer's son breaks his leg taming the wild mares. The village people come to him and say, "Ah, such bad luck!"
The farmer shrugs, "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?"
A month later the Chinese army comes and demands all the young men soldier age. The farmer's son does not have to go because of his leg. The village people come to him and say, "Ah, such good luck!"
The farmer shrugs, "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?"
And so it goes...

I'm sorry.
I had to stop reading the instant I saw that Popular Mechanics cover from 2036, which included the headline:
"E-Books the New Way to Read"
Wow.
You, can continue reading, then, because you misunderstood. Titor cited a 2001 popular Mechanics. You must have erroneously assumed that he claimed the magazine was from 2036.
Wow.

You know, I'm sure someone mentioned this.. but..
Shouldn't John Titor be alive today somewhere?
You know, since he's from the future and all. He's floating around here somewhere waiting for all of this to happen.
"Again."
