Time Travel.

The Ad

A surprisingly serious Newspaper ad that asks for paid and armed company to travel back in time once again

with a picture (probably taken from a school album from the 1980's) of "Mullet man" with a mullet haircut and a serious-looking expression on his face.

The Time Travel

Sites often show the time traveler in different time periods, including the civil war.

Pictures of "Mullet man" in other time periods.

This originated PTKFGS.

The safety

Safety, security and vandalism.

Most recently this has evolved into a variant of the Wikipedia vandalism fad, in which users would try to edit wikipedia material such as the "safety" entry, with such footnotes as "when you push it to the limit, safety is not guaranteed".

origin

A newspaper ad from a person asking for someone to accompany him in time travel.

timetraveler On YTMND an image of a stone-faced young man wearing a mullet is placed on the left of the text, although this was not included in the original newspaper advertisement.

The true origin of the classified ad was, in fact, a gag on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1999.

"Investigation"

On January 16, 2006, YTMND user, scrow, posted a picture he claims he found in his attic. This picture seems to show the same man, mullet and all, taken during the American Civil War.

Within this investigation, vex5 claims that after calling the number of those believed to own the P.O. box, he recieved very suspicious reactions. When asked about time travel, the person on the other end of the phone allowed a short pause, replied "never call here again" and hung up the phone.

Another YTMND user, guano, called the same number, getting the answering machine. He announced that the message asks to "leave a message for Mark, Debra... also, Moses or Caesar!"

Since this announcement, several others have tried calling, also getting the same message. Some have even managed to record it.

In response to these calls, the answering machine message has been changed to say that this number has nothing to do with "Time travel" or "Going back in time". It also asks for the persons who started the fad's name and number to be stated so that she can turn him over to the proper authorities. This was too late however, for many to hypothesize that Moses and Caesar are the actual Moses and Caesar of history, giving more evidence to the argument that perhaps somebody has actually gone back through time. However, as the time traveler has only done it once before, he would have been unable to have gotten both Moses and Caesar, or either if he had gone to the Civil War. Unless, of course, his one experience consisted of him jumping across time to several different periods before returning to his own.

It is now known that the woman is just an old woman from Southern California named Debra. Moses and Caesar are just her pet dog and bird. Mark, being the only name left in the original message that still has no person to be identified with, is now presumed to be this man's name. However, research says he was born in 1953, only a few years older than Debra. His name is also rumored to be Dwane Jones (Brother of Allen Jones).

Some argument remains as to where the original "Safety not Guaranteed" photo came from. Many believe, with the civil war photo, that this may actually be the time traveler himself, and that the woman who answers the phone is possibly his mother. It is now known that the woman is just an old woman from Southern California named Debra. Moses and Caesar are just her pet dog and bird. Mark, being the only name left in the original message that still has no person to be identified with, is now presumed to be this man's name.
