A whole group of people chanting "Two Half Grande Lattes!"...
Someone earnestly explaining to a student the painstakingly
reconstructed artefacts in a circa Yr 2000 cubicle... A group
of Il Fornaio waiter reenactors... A man playing the part of an
Internet billionaire, wearing a white shirt,
calf-length trousers
and deck shoes... A group of people pretending to be day
traders, saying "It'll hit the 110 support level and bounce back
- classic head-and-shoulders".

I thought the Internet stock market bubble *was* a re-enactment of the Dutch tulip craze. |
|
| |
At least people ended up with some nice tulips at the end
of the tulip craze. |

It was very late at night when I posted this idea - ...at least I didn't post "20th century Civil War reenactment societies Reenactment Society". |

You're probably right - maybe "The Internet Stock Market Bubble: The Musical" would have been more realistic (if a rather ghastly thought)... |

Perhaps I missed something in first year biology. Did that petri dish just say something profound? |

That was a deleted [UnaBubba] annotation (see link) |

People go on about the difficulty of verb tenses in time
travel, but that's small beer compared to the difficulty of
conversations in which people go back in time and edit or
delete things they've already said and to which people have
already responded. When widespread time-travel causes the
space-time continuum to unravel like a too-much-laundered
shirt, the halfbakers, from long practice, will be have the
mental toughness to keep their sanity. |

"will be have"? - you mean "would have been having" |
|
| |
HA! I will would have soon see! I'm going to wait five years or so then come back and delete this anno... |
