* GeniusBonus: The "hopping thing" in the darkest, most dismal future that the Time Traveler visits is, by [[FridgeBrilliance logical deduction]], simultaneously an [[MythologyGag homage to]] and a refutation of an earlier (satirical) article that Wells had done hypothesizing about humanity's ultimate fate. In that article, he had imagined humanity's anatomy dwindling to the simplest, most basic arrangement of organs needed for life, until ultimately it arrived at a point where humans were just a brain and a hand, relying on artificial means to support themselves rather than the messy business of biological ingestion, locomotion, etc. The "hopping thing" is the complete opposite, and represents mankind's evolution in a similar manner, but "devolving" into the most basic thing needed to survive: a ravenous, ambulatory digestive organ that simply consumes whatever it encounters, a "stomach with a foot", as it were.
