Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future

A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender.



Real?

If he's also claiming to have sabotaged the hadron with that baugette in November, he's either leaping back in forth in time, or he's in no big hurry to try to stop the world from being destroyed.

"Mr Cole was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, but not that bothered."

Astonishing!

LOL that is hilarious.

Funny since I watched back to the future not too long ago, I had seen it before, like 10 years ago.

But... what if it's real? Maybe the LHC actually doubles as a time machine! 1.21 gigawatts!!!

LOL! Awesome...only bad thing is is that you can never be 100% sure these people are being honest or not...what if he really is from the future? We have no idea what colliding particles can do and their outcome...:p

WANTED : Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke.
PO Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022. You’ll get paid after we get back.
Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed.
I have only done this once before.

Serves you right.
When I woke up on the 2nd of April all the websites were still full of ridiculous news and articles that didn't go away until in the afternoon. Yeah, I'm also from the future. It's called "GMT +1".

While the world was destroyed, he and his time machine survived.

Sounds like a stronger bond than a man and his dog.

Cosmic rays with 100x the energy coming from all directions in the general universe and hitting the atmosphere haven't ended the world yet.

Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

I gotta give him props for saying that to the cops that arrested him, though.
