[ WP ] Mankind has succesfully deleted every trace of the year 2016 . You , a historian in the year 2416 begin to wonder why there are no records of the year 2016 ever happening . When you begin to investigate , what you uncover , sends chills down your spine .

`` Yay for the year 2019,'' I said to myself as my wrist mounted time transporter placed me back in time safely. 
 
 It needed to be done. After the `` paper war,'' records of this era are sadly lacking and it was my job as historian to go back and write the historical record anew. 
 
 `` To the library,'' I muttered to myself. I could make use of my training in the electric *internet* that was so popular back then. 
 
 It seemed to go so well at first. I said hello to the librarian using the local vernacular, found an *internet computer* that looked similar to the one I had in training, and started the *google searching*. 
 
 But my searches turned up no sensible results. 
 
 `` 2016 sport results'' found nothing I could use, and it was the same for `` 2016 election result,'' `` 2016 deaths,'' and `` 2016 world news.'' 
 
 I was starting to get concerned, but I knew a fancy google trick - I could filter the results by date. 
 
 `` 2016'' using a date range of january 2017 to january 2018. 
 
 That would do the job, I was sure, but it just returned the cryptic result of *Your search - 2016 - did not match any documents. * 
 
 I must admit that I was starting to get a bit concerned. Nobody in my time had thought that the censorship wars had extended back so far in time, but it seemed to be the case. 
 
 Falling back to emergency plan Alpha, I grabbed a newspaper from the pile on a table, slipped back to one of the furthest corners of the bookshelves, and activated the time transporter return when nobody was watching.

 Back in 2416, I handed my time device and newspaper to Hartog and gave my report. 
 
 His reply chilled me to my bone. 
 
 `` You're fired, you imbecile! You've screwed up again!'' 
 
 Sigh. 2019, 2014. Those tiny numbers on the transporter device look so similar. They should use a different typestyle. Not my damn fault I ended up in 2014.
