Talking The Popes time machine

Yep you heard that right. The Vatican has,or should I say *had* a time machine. They have apparently misplaced it,but it was called a "chronovisor" and was used to travel back in time and take a home movie of jesus` crucifixion.

From <a href="http://www.newpara.com/time_travel.htm" target="_blank">here</a>:
Quote:
Ernetti's claim to fame was his assertion that he had combined ancient occult knowledge with modern scientific discoveries to create a time machine, the Chronovisor. He then claimed to have used this machine to witness such historical events as the Crucifixion, and to "open a window" on ancient Greece and Rome.
Theres also a short story about this amazing,but missing device on the II newswire.

Nobody knows where this chronovisor thing is right now,but I suggest they try searching Bede`s house.

Cool

Er... I think you'll find that it's a work of fiction, Anunnaki. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if it turned into a full-fledged truth-claim, somewhere down the line.

You`re new here and obviously unaware of what a sracastic wise ass (some might even say "jerk") I can be.

Of course it`s not real! And even if there was such a machine the LAST place it would possibly be is the Vatican.
Those medieval morons probably couldn`t even hook up a VCR nevermind build a working time machine.

Ancient occult technology! LMAO!

Gore Vidal wrote a book about this very thing in the late 80's/early 90's.

Sorry... No, it was me being the jerk. I'll pay more attention in future.

I`ve been thinking about this silly time machine and wondering about it`s construction and mechanics.

My guess is that it was built mostly out of foreskins and a paper mache mixture made from the shredded holy books of Roman Mystery cults.
It`s power source most likely was prayer.
