Perhaps He Should Have Checked the Papers for News About Being Arrested...

Here's a cool little news item somebody just called my attention to: "'Time-Traveler' Busted For Insider Trading". According to the article, a guy who made a killing on Wall Street and was busted for insider trading claims that the reason he knew exactly where to put his money is because he's actually a time-traveller from the year 2256. Unfortunately, the source for this appears to be the Weekly World News (which, for those of you outside the US and thus perhaps not familiar with it, is a notorious tabloid of the "I Had Bigfoot's Baby!" variety), so it's probably not true. (Well, it probably wouldn't have been true that the guy was an actual time-traveller, anyway, but it wouldn't have been too hard to believe that he had claimed to be one.) Pity. It's such a great story, it ought to be true.
