-Since in 1957 Bart was not yet born, nothing happened in his career during that year. A number of Hufnagel'​s biographers believe this to be a very unimportant fact, while others disagree. A controversial biographer Frank Dupeaux had gone as far as to create a series of books that chronicles every year starting 1950 up to Hufnagel'​s birth in a quest to chronicle the early years of Bart's career.+Since in 1957 Bart was not yet born, nothing happened in his career during that year.

 Hufnagel had approached the CEO of Timewatch Linda Burns before with the suggestion to join the Board of Directors and buy out the company, but was immediately refused.

 Bart has reinvigorated Timewatch by proposing and starting several new products, including reProphet. The latter became a sensation and has changed the face of technology from basic AI with the ability to do advertising to a menacing general purpose intelligence capable of modeling the responses of real people. Bart has reinvigorated Timewatch by proposing and starting several new products, including reProphet.

 +===== Bart Keynotes =====

 +[{{:​wiki:​bart_keynote.png?​nolink&​200 |Your typical Bart keynote}}]
 +
 +Early on Bart Hufnagel was known to be extremely secretive about the upcoming products. However, when in a 2002 interview he claimed that reProphet was announced during his keynote speech at a Timewatch event to thousands of people, it became quickly apparent that nobody seems to know anyone who actually attended. The only person who claimed attendance in the past was Ken Stewart, but by that time he was already dead.
 +
 +This has given rise to rumors that everyone at the secret keynote was killed. During the next more publicized Timewatch event of 2003 most people decided not to go, and those who went were denied access to the keynote speech.
  
 +Since then it is widely believed that Bart Hufnagel is doing his keynotes in front of an empty audience.

 Since factories were nonprofit, all of them quickly filed for bankruptcy. Today, there are no operating NRPFs. However, among wealthy aging people in Australia a dream to open an own NRPF as part of a retirement plan is a widespread thing to say at local cocktail parties. Since factories were nonprofit, all of them quickly filed for bankruptcy.
