Also seems he wrote the owners manual, so the descriptive wording is - unique.. Last time I had to reference it I found myself stuck in today yesterday. I'm still not sure if I'm in yesterday's tomorrow or today's today. Owner's manual offers the helpful line "If you find yourself stuck in t he future, don't worry about it. Time will eventually catch up to you."

General rule of thumb, never accept a time-travel machine whose instruction manual has been written by someone not fully conversant with proper tense structure.

Or worse, translated from a foreign language.

Well... There is the fine print on the title page that says something about being translated from the original Yaqkdorean Snorkphough dialect by a 'Irvine Plotznyk' with assistance from Siri and Babelfish... I'm not sure how reliable that would be.. I couldn't find Irvine in a Google search which leads me to believe it is a pen name...
