Man from the future is apprehended near the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
"Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt 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."

From the link you provided:
"This isn't the first time time-travel has been blamed for mishaps at the LHC. Last year, the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery."
I remember that tidbit from the
NewScientist article last October entitled, "
Time-travelling Higgs sabotages the LHC. No, really."
The
NY Times piece referred to in that article can be found
here.
I told my son about Mr. Cole's exploits and he said, "Perhaps he
was a time-traveler." Impossible? The article ends by noting that "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."
