Best April Fool's story on the web this year

[phoenix64]

Yes, I realize I'm a bit late but I just found this and I couldn't not share:

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

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."

Hee! Awesome. (And it's a great story for your journal tagline, too.)

a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age

That reminds me so much of someone I saw for the first time this weekend! Do you think that was purposeful?

I strongly suspect they started there, decided it just wasn't wacky enough and kept on going. "Communist chocolate hellhole", hee. I suspect I'll be making an icon soon.

Some of the comments to the story sound like people haven't clued in on the April Fool's part yet!
