Named after the island near where it was found by sponge divers 115 years ago, the Antikythera mechanism is an incredible machine of finely calibrated gears that appeared to be technology not available until at least the 10th century—but the mechanism was at least 2,000 years old.

Then in 2016, it was found in Andre the Blog Monkey's luggage when he returned to Canada from a magical mystery ship vacation.

Can anybody shed some light on this mysterious object?


So that is where I dropped my calculator! I knew I shouldn't take it on that time cruise to ancient Greece. I just needed somewhere the IRS couldn't see me doctor my tax forms. Oh god, They didn't find a chest of w2s with it did they? I could end up next to Al Capone for this s***! Man, I hope they didn't find the place on the forms where I deducted the time cruise as a business expense.

Wait I am posting this on the internet. Does the IRS check all social media sites? AM I SCREWED?

Wait, this is a writing website, all of this was fiction, total fiction. There was no time cruise, I have never had to file taxes. But of course, if there were a time cruise it would be a business expense, right? They wouldn't spend the extra money to incarcerate a modern tax evader with Al Capone. Time trips aren't cheap, am I right? I wouldn't know I have never taken one.

I could probably escape alcatraz anyway. I have been on the tour. I know how the other dudes did it.

That's it the monkey did it all, he doctored my taxes, lost the calculator, forged the w2s, It is all the Damn monkey's fault!
