Submission + - Milwaukee defies quantum physics, goes back to '05 (onmilwaukee.com)
saphert writes: Local Milwaukee WI establishment defies the laws of quantum physics and manages to travel back to 2005.
"Our team of Hyatt scientists have come up with a way to truly turn back the clock," he said. "Back to a better time. When everyone had a job, there was a chicken in every pot and hotel occupancy approached 95 percent.
"Back to 2005," he shouted.
With that, Donnelly and Kidder grabbed the giant wall switch and moved it from the right position to the left position.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that switch I just threw will move the Polaris room, high atop this hotel, from its normal clockwise rotation, to a counter-clockwise rotation."
A flash of light and a mighty wind swept through the room. The crowd clapped as Kidder stepped to the microphone one more time.
"Polaris is taking us back to the future. I only wish my dear friend, Christopher Reeve was here to see this, but since he died in 2004, he won't."
Just like that, Milwaukee was reliving 2005. On the restaurant's TVs, the media saw Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch, and magazines on tables announced Britney Spears' pregnancy. Natalee Hollaway was alive and well, while Martha Stewart was leaving prison. No one had bird flu, and runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks wasn't even engaged.
It was a kinder, gentler Milwaukee, indeed.
Donnelly, always stoic, stood on stage, as reporters searched for phone lines to connect their 56k modems and fax machines to quickly file their stories. A tear dripped gently from his cheek.
