____Oh--this must have been how those guys got the paintings out of Boston's Gardner Museum--a time machine. It couldn't possibly have been because there were no background checks on new "security" guards, there were no monitored security cameras, and the student staff workers downstairs were ignoring the reports of troubled visitors about closed rooms and odd staff behavior upstairs. Naw--must ha' been a time machine.
____They never explain anything about the dates on the currency: were the crooks in the '50s paid by the time travelers in old money? As it turns out, money didn't matter in this story...

____I wonder if they could have foreseen back then that my nuked mashed potatoes would be underdone inside today?
____A side effect of my watching this series is that I really want to work for the Masland carpet company. And I want good textured carpet, really cheap.
