Here - subsection to highlight something interesting were TT0 refers to himself as "the crazy yank".
G° : maybe I'll pass on the theory to someone who does their own
experiment
and... BANG!
TimeTravel_0 : I've been trying.
TimeTravel_0 : But Im the crazy yank <------
TimeTravel_0 : Its very hard to convince someone you travel in time unless
you're related to them.
(Could be translated - "I'm trying to get my brother down in Florida involved, he's a lawyer and thinks I'm crazy but I think I've got a real money
maker here.")
