What was so curious about this guy is that he did not push his story. Most idiots have you reading half a bio, but not this guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All he stated was:&lt;br /&gt;"I am from the future. You might not believe me, but eventually you will. Before that time comes you will need to decipher riddles and mysteries. You will be in need of this soon."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No name, no crazy arguments, nothing.&lt;br /&gt;Funny thing is that I tried to reply to his email address and received a notice that the address does not exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can I forget?
