Science: Time
Pragmatic Time Traveler Abattoir   (+8, -5)  [vote for, against]
Lure meddling would-be modifiers of history to their doom

This invention is an advertised time traveler destination, with all the amenities, as described by [Blumster], except with the addition of the (non-advertised) rotating blades.

This would require multiple locations, as the time travelers will eventually catch on that a particular "destination" is one that their fellow travelers never return from.

It should serve to at least reduce the numbers of meddlesome history changers and stock market cheaters.

Blumster's idea [JakePatterson, May 30 2005]

I like it. The only problem is...all the time travelers I know return instantly.

[marked for sarcasm]

Who are you to judge the future motives of time travelers? I, for one, welcome our futuristic overlords.

But then how would we cheat at the stock market?

Keep the same destination. If no-one ever comes back it must be really nice there.
