People count with self-satisfaction the number of times they have recited the name of God on their prayer beads, but they keep no beads for reckoning the number of idle words they speak.

Idle Words

Kajika sighed as she sat down on the bench, her head making a soft thunk as she leaned her head back to rest on the back of the bench. How long had it been now? How long had it been since Shu had once again disappeared out of her life without a word of explanation or even apology? In all honesty, she would have even been glad for a note if anything verbal was too onerous for him although she supposed it was a bit much to hope for from her lazy friend... 

Her lazy ex-fiance...

Kajika suddenly growled in frustration which was soon followed by an exasperated sigh. She honestly couldn’t understand why on earth her father was so determined to marry her off, it simply didn’t make sense. It wasn’t as if they needed financial support of any kind, their family being as wealthy as it was... Nevertheless, despite her protests and objections, he seemed quite adamant on the matter.

His intentions were so fierce, it made the young heiress feel concerned that he might just decide to pick a new candidate, what with Shu continually disappearing without rhyme or reason. Not that it really mattered to her one way or another since she had no real desire to marry, but perhaps she should just take matters into her own hands and be done with it.

Raising her head slightly from the bench, her silver eyes scanned the vicinity and spotted a stranger who happened to be heading towards her. All things considered, he was just as likely a candidate as any other person her father may select although at least this way she had some say in the matter. 

“Hey you... Don’t suppose you’d be willing to get married to me would you?”

Best Practices for Time Travelers

Maciej Cegłowski:

When John Titor first showed up on IRC chat in October of 2000, he was enjoying a neat kind of double billing – as his 38-year-old self sat downstairs in the kitchen, typing away, a two-year-old version of himself lay sound asleep upstairs in bed. The elder Titor had been sent back in time by the U.S. Army, which needed him to fetch some legacy computer hardware from the 1970’s, and he had a sort of layover in the year 2000. So like anyone with time to kill, he went online.

Titor arrived in Florida in a 2036 model Corvette (later sold off) outfitted with a 500 pound military-grade time travel device that he photographed and posted online, complete with manual. The reason for his visit was utilitarian – he had been sent back to the 1970’s to fetch a model IBM 5100 computer, “because Unix has problems in 2038”, and the 5100 had an undocumented feature that made it highly desirable to programmers working on the Unix bug. Apparently the Army of 2036 knew enough to build a time machine, but wasn’t able to fix a word-size error in a legacy operating system.

That bit actually made the whole story sound plausible to me.
