"I was probably about 12 years old and I fell out of a tree and over a cliff falling probably a couple of hundred feet. I was lucky and it was Fall so at the base of the cliff was a mountain of leaves. The leaves broke my fall but my teeth nearly came through my bottom lip. The wind was knocked out of me and my nose was bleeding."

...and when i came to I had a revelation! A vision! A picture in my head! A picture of this! This is what makes time travel possible: the flux capacitor!

He's starting to sound just like a kid who lived in my college dorm who always told the most outlandish stories. He always had to one-up whatever you said. It was fascinating to listen to someone be so creative and believe every word they said no matter how unrealistic the stories got.

It's sad because I've learned a lot from MA about investing, economics, politics, etc. And also because I still believe Socrates has a lot of value as a tool, but needs tons of work to be of value to individual investors. It appears he is unraveling though.

Yes I read that this morning and wondered if he might be on medication for something.

If we assume a 200ft drop with an average weight of 40KG for a 12 year old child, then he would have hit those leaves at around 124kmh.

You would likely need several hundred foot of leaves to cushion such a fall, where they fall loose and do not congeal into a convenient trampoline or jelly-like structure.

I think he meant to write:

"I was probably about 12 years old and I fell out of a tree and over a cliff falling probably a couple of hundred centimetres"

Next time, can anyone on this forum try to go to http://web.archive.org/, and archive Armstrong's page before he can make corrections to it?

I no longer even visit his blog regularly.

Martin Armstrong has already removed the flux capacitor and time travel sentence from that page.

I actually thought it was from ediface, but his account was corroborated by trulycoined.
