If I told you I was a mad scientist from the 478th century, how would you prove me wrong?

Question

In 700 words or less please. I dont have all night. I do have a time machine, but its not to be used to read documents.

We got dumber because you kept having trailer park babies with short people, so thats also why we didnt get taller. You didnt buy a lottery ticket so I wont give you any lotto numbers. But dont worry, Ill tell you if you win. Nope, you lost.

Answer 1

Nobody that has a time machine would be dumb enough to ask questions on Y/A. Plus you didn't mention having 3 testicles.

Answer 2

How could you proove it true is a better question.

And if you walked up to me on the street and said "Hi, I'm Bob. I just happen to be a mad scientist from the 478th century time traveling to the 21st century" I would probably ask you what kind of drugs you were doing, How I could get some, And then refer you to a shrink so that you could talk about your life's problems and explain why you were saying this to random people on the street.

But if you could proove it true, I would believe you.

Either way I wouldn't try to proove you wrong.

Answer 3

We are here to establish your credentials.
I shall provide you with an example of why I doubt your claim.
Evidence, sufficient, one hopes, to satisfy your curiosity.
The language you 'speak', indeed, write.
It is laced with the colloquialisms, and inflections of the English language of the late twentieth century. Do you really expect me to believe that a language, as dynamic as the English language, has not evolved, and changed in some nearly 300 years?
Or do you have a clever answer such as that you learnt to speak, in that way, prior to your travels?
You speak the same English I do.
Neither of us speak the same English as Queen Elizabeth the First. (At a rough guess, that's a 300 year gap).
I'll hazard a guess that nobody you know says "Gee, that's swell", when they could just as well say "Hey,that's great". And that linguistic leap took all of thirty years.
"Cool,man" has been replaced by what? "Trippin' ", "Sick"?
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the latest terminology.
Such is the fate of an English speaker, to be behind the times, in one's own lifetime.
Have fun with your essay.

Answer 4

I'd ask you to tell me tomorrow's winning lottery numbers. Quick you have 2 minutes to travel there and back. I'd also ask that after all that evolutionary time why mankind got dumber and not smarter.

Answer 5

I don't think that is possible for someone in the 478th Centuary to be found in th 21st Centuary, I would prove you wrong by the way you behave and by testing your knwledge.

Answer 6

Look at your forehead. People in the future always have huge forehead, and bald too. That or take your shoes and see how many toes. Everyone knows the pinky toe will disappear in the future.

Answer 7

People are getting taller, so you ought to be huge. Unless you're at least 20' tall, I'd assume you're a liar.

Answer 8

How has the weather been for the next 451 centuries (or last 451centuries in your case),is it really hot?

Answer 9

By taking upto psychiatrist

Answer 10

A DNA test would answer the question.
