Perpetually perplexed offers hypothesis on photo anachronism It all has to do with the invention of a perpetual motion machine, learned writer theorizes. It was a machine perfected, he says, and secreted away 'far from the madding crowd.' Comments re photo 60002 Scenic Adair County KY Cane Valley Mill Road Crossing From A Perpetually Perplexed Person Few people know that before his untimely death, an Adair County inventor perfected a small working model of hsi long labored-upon perpetual motion machine. He placed the device in a cave somewhere within the shire but \"far from the madding crowd" for safekeeping, where today, nearly two centuries after the creator's passing, the magnificent machine still purrs in the dark solitude of the cavern. This great if undersung inventor ciphered out the secret to perpetual motion: time distortion of the most minute order, a magnitude far less than a politician\'s soul. It is this element which leads to the matter at hand. You see, every few decades, the time distortion self-corrects, and when it does, anachronisms occur, such as a 1950s automobile in a current photo. There is one other trifling side effect of this perpetual motion machine, but the details thereof can not be laid before the public for another fivescore and three years. Suffice it to say it involves bizarre local elections, say, for example, the Taylor County sheriff's election of 1901 in which the only candidate won by eight votes--and his swearing in was disallowed. - A Perpetually Perplexed Person This story was posted on 2015-05-02 09:24:58
