A Red Letter Date in the History of Science: Flux Capacitor Day!
By Papa Llama - November 5, 2009
While our friend Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill celebrates Guy Fawkes Day with a review of V for Vendetta, we at Rocket Llama Headquarters wish to remind one and all that today marks the 54th anniversary of the invention of time travel.
“Here’s a red letter date in the history of science, November 5th 1955…That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the edge of the sink, and when I came to I had a revelation, a vision, a picture in my head, a picture of this! This is what makes time travel possible – the Flux Capacitor!”
- Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown
