BarefootDawsy Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 You've inherited a time machine and can make 1 round-trip voyage to anywhere, anytime. Where do you go and why? Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
saretta Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Medieval Italy to see what some of the places I know, live in, have visited, etc. were like back then. I would make it a short trip, though. With my luck I'd catch some nasty infection and there'd be no antibiotics to save me! LOL! Quote Link to comment
Rosie Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'd do back to war time london. Its always fascinated me since I was a kid - the music, fashion and "blitz spirit" which seems to be the term used any time any group of English people are stuck in a situation that requires stoicism and determination - "come on people, where's your blitz spirit?"

This is Seth Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I would probably go to see the Sapphire Waterfall on Midnight. Just spend the day trekking across the diamond fields and relaxing in the leisure palace.Of course, said time machine would have to be a blue box.

No other reason I would probably travel to ancient Athens. Because I feel like I could have a good conversation there for days.... Those Greeks like to talk. Or I would go watch the 300 during their standoff. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
CRM114 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 1994. I'd visit my Mom before she died and tell her how awesome she is, and how much I love her. I was a bratty/rude kid back then and took her for granted. I wish she could have seen how I turned out. Quote | | "Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done."

Timmy M Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 either 'jesus time' just because i'm skeptical to his divinity (not necessarily his existence) oooooor i'd have to agree with bigm and go see the ancient greeks at Thermopylae, reckon i'd wait a bit before then and become and absolute savage with the heavy things and learn how to fight with spear, Kopis or Xiphos sword and sheild (maybe i could turn the tide?... an LMG might be useful in that situation as well come to think of it...)

msuroo Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd just back it up a few weeks and win a 300 million dollar powerball - is that shallow? Quote Challenge thread Link to comment

cline Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Philadelphia circa 1775-1776. Man, that would be awesome (and probably a bit stinky). I would soooo have a beer or five with Ben Franklin. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

girlysogroovy Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 You've inherited a time machine and can make 1 round-trip voyage to anywhere, anytime. Where do you go and why?I like how I have inherited a time machine, rather than built it or found it, etc. What has my mad scientist relative been doing with the time machine up until now? (I assume, of course, that my relative is Doc Brown.)Anyway, I would jump forward and find out about any major events that I could prevent. Of course, I would also pull an msuroo and copy down some winning lottery numbers. Quote Link to comment
Guest Snake McClain Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 i would either:a) go back to the time of Christ (as was said before) because I'd want to see what's what. But this is the least important to me on this list. go to the wild west just to experience it but I feear that this would be less than exciting.c) go back and win the lottery. cuz f*** beign poor. My final answer is C. Win the lottery. Quote Link to comment
Guest Snake McClain Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 i need to the rules for time travel. can i take anything with me or is it like terminator and i go back naked? Because if I can take anything with me I'm going with some heavy artillery and pulling a Time Cop and stealing some mega stacks of gold. I'd come back now...can you imagine how effing rich i'd be? Eff The lottery. I want stacks and stacks of Gold. So...what are the rules? Quote Link to comment

You can bring what you have on you, clothes, etc. Nothing more than you can reasonably carry...so artillery's out I'm afraid And while we're at it, it turns out that history is self-consistent, meaning that no matter what you do, you can't change the past...your presence there is already factored in to your current timeline. Maybe the Spartans won because somebody brought back a machine gun, but it wasn't recorded in the history books, for example...of course, by the same token, we don't know the future yet, so it could totally contain the Bruce that wins the lottery next week.

adampm Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hmm, tough call, but I think I'd want to go back in time and have some drinks with Mark Twain. Either that or go back and do some vampire hunting with Abe Lincoln. . . Quote Link to comment
