Part the nth of playing games with your fellow beings: Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day. Rose Tyler had this one nailed: "To get that many people dressed up and being silly, they gotta be students." If the respeckable adults among us did it, though, how much stranger and more fun would that be?
Favorite suggestion: "The classic version of this is to get some kind of smoke bomb or smoke machine, as well as an anachronistic costume. Wait for someone to walk past an alley, then set off the smoke and stagger out, looking dumbfounded. If they don't run away, grab their shoulder and ask what year it is. If they respond, shout 'The experiment was a success after all!' and run away. It works even better if you can get some friends wearing suits and dark glasses to go to the person immediately afterwards and ask if they've seen someone matching your description."

THAT is a great game.
Just hope they aren't taser happy campus po-lice.
The more I think about this, the more work it seems you should put in. We're good at noticing tiny discrepancies, so you couldn't, for example, wear Keds; ideally, you'd get foreign brands and wear them down a bit, just to get that subconscious sense that the person wearing them didn't quite fit the time. Theater types could have a ball with this.
