It *really* is Back to the Future Day! :willy:

Although I must say that the 21st Century has been disappointing in a lot of ways - like where's my flying car, the shark still looks fake (although we do now have Sharknado), and the Cubs don't look like they'll be winning the World Series unless there's a miracle...

Just watched BTTF II last night with the wife. Brought back old memories, that's for sure!

I'm waiting for rotary dial telephones to make a comeback. It is hilarious to watch the young generation try to use them. I had a friend whose kids, when they were first exposed to a rotary dial, didn't know you actually had to turn the dial. They were just sticking their finger in the holes expecting them to work like pushbuttons. :crazy:
