Craiglist is a great resource for "lightly used" secondhand furniture, your next sexual adventure, and, as it turns out, stranded time travelers. On Aug. 20, 2015, a mysterious self-described time traveler named Alptin posted an ad for help prepping for his next journey through time.

He arrived in Louisville on Aug. 17, 2015, and plans to leave for 2094 in November. But before he can begin his journey, he requires a male assistant. The Craigslist ad reads:

An update to the post reassures us that Alptin found a suitable assistant: "The job was completed this morning by a nice elderly man almost immediately after my posting." It's unclear whether the elderly man in question bore any resemblance to Dr. Emmett L. Brown. According to Alptin, he will not be returning to 2015.
