Man from future appears with warning

Incredible! Why isn't this news all over the American press?

A man appeared at the Large Hadron Collider, which smashes Hadrons together to make Small Hadrons, and said he was from the future. He had come back to stop the project, which he said would destroy the world. His first name was "Eloi," which is chilling - the Eloi are the effete, useless humans who live about ground in H. G. Wells' "Time Machine" book. Then the story gets odd:

So he has a Mr. Fusion?

Emphasis added. Of course it's true! It's on cnet.uk, a reputable site. If you doubt me, check wikipedia.

Seriously, the article is worth reading, if only for the phrase "communist chocolate hellhole."
