There once was this duck named Wilbur. He was a bit smarter than your average duck. But then again, he was a Mallard, everyone expects Mallards to excel. But Wilbur was a giant in the Mallard world. He would spend hours contemplating the universe, from his quaint spot at the edge of Big Pond. He wondered what the future would be like. What fortunes would come to duck-kind as the years ahead unraveled? What new discoveries would advance the fortunes of his feathered friends?
One day, he decided that he didn't want to sit around and wait for the future. He wanted to see tomorrow today! He set to work creating himself a machine that would allow him to travel into the future. Luckily, Big Pond was within easy flying distance of the local research university. He knew that there was this one, rather absent minded professor who would always leave the window to his laboratory wide open. He would occasionally sneak in to check out the latest contraption the professor was fiddling with. This night, he let himself in and set right to work creating his machine.
Finally, his machine ready, it was time for the maiden voyage. "How far ahead should I go?", he pondered to himself. He decided to just take a short hop for now, and set the machine for a year from that very day. With the target date set, he through the switch. There was a great buzzing and whirring. The machine lit up bright and began rotating vigorously. There was a great flash before him and.....there he was.
The laboratory looked slightly different. A few new gismoz here and there, but not dramatically different. But the real treat was going to be a visit to his home on Big Pond. He quickly took to the air and flapped over to his corner of the pond. He set down upon the ground and started to waddle towards the vegetation that surrounded his home. Before he could get there, a rustling started from the brush. Out jumped, him. But, him a year older.
They both stood there, silent...staring at each other. This was quite the pair o' ducks!
ah haet yuo

He'd just duck out on the bill.

They don't seem to like it when you stare at them.
The fantastic webcomic "Triangle & Robert" had a great episode culminating in the pun about a Space/Time Pair 'o Ducks.
I'd like to take a gander at that.
So would he.
:lol: Brilliant!
(yes, I'm a fan of the pun-story)
It's a new convention, for me, and it's fun to play with.
I'm enjoying them! You'll find me the lone voice in the crowd crying "MOAR!" :lol:
I just died.
