Decades before that other Robert wrote of his Wheel of Time, Robert Arthur gave
us this story of his recurring mad scientist Jeremiah Jupiter and his long-suffering
assistant Lucius. This time, Jupiter plans to create a time machine from oranges, The
Encyclopedia Britannica, bass drums, tiny motorcycles, and three trained chimps.
I am going to set up an interference in the time rhythm at this particular spot. Then the
chimpanzies will enter it with my time capsules—since I know you won’t—and they
will deposit the capules here a million years ago!
