Truth Stranger than ARG Fiction?

Okay, a guy has been arrested for insider trading, and he's claiming to be a time traveller from the future. He turned $800 into $350,000,000 in two weeks!

Yes, and it was reported by the Weekly World News, a tabloid whose reporting ethics make the National Enquirer look like the Washington Post.

Ah, nice. I will now change my primary online news source to anything but Yahoo. Anyone know a good place I can make my new homepage now?

Confused

I suppose this means bat boy isn't real. sigh.

Fark.com, definitely. I can't believe you haven't heard about it somewhere already. They actually posted this story as well (though nobody there noticed that it came from WWN either); I figured that was where you got it from.
