J.T. Kirk writes: CIT Professor William Johnson announces the source of his invention, Liquid Metal. In an exclusive inteview by SlashNot.com investigator Duya Noit, Professor Johnson stated that he first obtained the idea from two men claiming to be engineers. “I recall one of them had a thick scottish accent,” Johnson said.

“They came to me one day hoping to enlist my aid in manufacturing some new materials they needed. When they thought I wasn’t listening I overheard them discuss worries about paradox and time travel.”

Professor Johnson then goes on to say this caught his interest so he followed the two men when they left. He says they went to a park where they proceeded to board some kind of invisible craft.

Psychologists have yet to comment on Mr. Johnson’s sanity, saying he may only have been joking.
