In 2000 and 2001, someone using the name John Titor posted some strange messages on the Internet. He said he came from the future and that he was an American soldier from the year 2036. He was on a government mission to go back to 1975 to find an old computer for fixing computer programmes in his time. Before returning to the future, he travelled to the year 2000 to visit his family. 翻译：2000和2001年，有人使用约翰·提托这个名字在网上发布了一些奇怪的消息。他说他来自未来，而且他是一位来自2036年的美国军人。他在一次政府任务中回到1975年寻找一台旧电脑，好用来修复他那个时代中的电脑程序。在返回未来之前，他穿梭到了2000年看望他的家人。

Titor talked about some future events in his posts. He said there would be a civil war in the United States after the presidential election in 2004. The war would lead to many global conflicts. As a result, there would be no more Olympic Games in the future. 翻译：提托在他的帖子中谈到了一些未来事情。他说在2004年的总统选举之后美国将会有一场内战。这场内战将会导致许多全球冲突。因此，未来将不会再有奥运会。
