A man with a robotic arm casually smoking... How awesome is he? I absolutley love the way this one came out. I found that illustraion online and I just had to use it. It's one of my favorites. The illustraion is by a man named Frank Kelly Freas. He did a lot of illustrations for sci-fi books back in the day. Feel free to read the rest of the text on this page if you want; it's all about some story I fould online about a man who claimed he was from the future. You may also want to check out the rest of the templates. Enjoy!
"I distinctly remember hearing stories a few years ago about a man who was arrested for insider trader after literally making millions in the stock market overnight. He told police he was from the future, and that’s how he knew what stocks to buy. Supposedly the police could find no records of his identity, making his story strangely plausable...
The man claiming to be from the year 2256 was arrested on January 28, 2003 after being charged by federal investigators with insider-trading. The man started his trading with $800 dollars and over the span of two weeks made $350 million dollars. The man, 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin, made 126 high-risk trades that profitted every single time. Carlssin has offered to reveal a cure for AIDS and the location of Osama bin Laden for leniency at his trial. He would also like to return to his time in his time craft. He has not revealed the location of his time craft for fear it would fall into the wrong hands. He says he came to our time because it was a time of huge stock market turmoil where, given the correct information, one could make a huge amount of money."
"...One of the strange paradoxes of time travel: if it is possible at some point in the future, where are all the time travelers? They should be here now in our present. So if there are no time travelers here with us now, then perhaps time travel is not possible.
I guess we could reason that our particular time period (G. Bush Jr., uncurable cancer, country music, etc.) is not as interesting as say, WWII, the days of the Wild West or the first manned mission to Alpha Centauri. Maybe the time tourists go to those eras instead..."
