I&#39;d have to change some of the other characters too because a lot of my story revolves around wordplay with names and such.

Why are they hiding it?<br/><br/>Wilson Gaffney (time traveller) doesn&#39;t know how time travel works, i.e. doesn&#39;t understand cause and effect, has no clue what a paradox is, and thinks temporal mechanics is an industrial metal band.<br/>He hides it to cover up his idiocy, by producing time traveller certification issued by &#39;a reputable authority&#39;, which cost him less than a nak!
