I'd say you'd be in line for the Nobel in Economics. Except there's no Nobel in Economics.

Really?  You don't think building a frigging time machine would warrant at least a nomination for the Nobel in physics?  I build a frigging time machine and other discoveries are STILL more impressive?  That's actually a little intimidating.  Like, "Don't piss off a physicist or he'll explode your head with his mind" intimidating.  Now I'm going to have dreams about presenting my time machine to the physics world only to have people laugh and tell me how "cute" my invention is.  Then I realize I'm not wearing pants...
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
