We Couldn't Make This Up: Man ‘From The Future’ Arrested At the LHC to Prevent It From Destroying the World

Eloi Cole, an oddly  dressed young man was arrested yesteday at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland,  made bizarre claim that he was from the future. Cole claimed that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world. The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt it by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment’s vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year. Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in trash bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his ‘time machine power unit’, a device that resembled a kitchen blender. Who knows maybe NASA should check out the secret powers of Mountain Dew.

This wasn't a real story, it was an April Fools Day joke.

[Tess]

The thing is that this story was made up. Notice the press release you pulled this from was dated April 1.

[Mikael]

Look, guys? Girls? W.e. the *** you are. It may be a joke, but enjoy it. Take time in your life to embrace the humor. Yeah. it's stupid, so what? Like you didn't make stupid things up when you were kids. Anyway, Mod, keep on keepin' on. Do what you do! Rock on!!!

[kelp]

[jt]

Actually it is a true story . I read it on the BBC website.

[almus]

Butthurt Tess obviously fell for it. This is a really silly april fools prank. Eloi Cole? Does nobody remember Bruce Willis' character in 12 monkeys? His name was John Cole. Reposting this is just really stupid, seeing as its the 6th now.

You may not have made it up, but somebody else did. It was an April Fool's joke.

Ooh looky! The Daily Galaxy has found the copy and paste function.

[dmarx]

No no, it's real.
I am also from the future.
And I intend to complete the misson without Cole.

But you'll never know.

[12 Monkeys]

Obviously you're missing the reference to 12 Monkeys as well, this entire thing is a joke. Oh and another thing that gives it away is how he was locked in a mental institution only to disappear, like Cole from 12 Monkeys.

[Glynes]

But ... if the collider destroys the world, there won't be any future for this guy to come from. Somebody didn't think this all the way through. 8-)

his name reminds me of e. coli

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply.CLS http://www.timberland6inch.com/

jack00800 Hello! This article is so fun,I am very like it!

[Dias]

Hey, I fell for it over two years after the original joke, and I very much liked it. It was fun to believe for some time that someone wearing tweedy jacket in a Doctor Who' style could breach into a facilite such as CERN to sabotage the LHC by cutting drink machines supply. I mean, WHAT? That's rich. Real time life literature, to put a good funny story in the real world instead of a book where you already know it's not true.
Just wish to know who, if journalist or scientist, made that up. I liked all the sci-fi references 'cause I identified them and for the others that I found out later.
Life was a little more fun for an instant, don't you think?
