No one here has noticed antihydrogen yet?

You all must remember Kevin McCarthy's astonishment at the discovery of "antihydrogen" at the end of Pandora Directive and Tex's heropic effort to keep it from being used to blow up the world (depending on your ending to the game). Well, guess what, everyone: antihydrogen (as in the antimatter form of hydrogen) has been contained for the first time ever in real life. This happened as a result of experiments being done with the particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (a major physics lab on the French-Swiss border). News headline on the home page of Wikipedia, as I write:
"Researchers at CERN announce that they have trapped antihydrogen atoms for the first time."

Tex quote: "I've never used antihydrogen, but I hear it's a gas."

Is it considered being a prophet when it happens 30 years earlier???
Also Aaron seen Anti-Hydrogen come from Aliens, not the Swiss...
But they still foresaw the discovery of Anti-Hydrogen either way, so I guess the answer to my question would be, Yes...
God I hope that doesn't mean a Female Clinton will end up being President...
