For one day only, You can go back in time.....

[Marbod]

I would go back to the Markomans to fight against the romans. Or better not
They haven´t got freeone, but for a day and without any risk

 

[KDJ]

Back to the day I lost the guts to take chances and convince myself to get out of that place...

I'd go back to spend the day with Jesus, before the crusafiction that is, I think it would be real kick-ass to chill out with Jesus

I would have no worries at all, people would be afraid to mess with me cause Jesus is right there. They would all want to be nice to me so that Jesus would see it!

 

[Iwillnever]

That is a pretty good way to spend your time back in time.

I'd go back to my birth and give my mother all the advice and money she needed.

And.. if that wouldnt work I'd pull a butterfly effect and off myself. Hell, her too. I'd be saving her the pain.

Other than that.. I'd grab all my HD's, CD/DVD's and CPU's (and maybe steal a microchip fabrication room or two..) and go back in time..to the mid 80s? Pay a visit to Silicon Valley. Sign a couple contracts.. get a lotta stock options.. Advise against starting America Online. Tell Prodigy to clock out early, Also bring along great murders and tragedies (yet to occur) in a convenient list so I could do a few things..
Capitalize on future knowledge to prevent death/kidnaps/whatever and also come out looking like a modern-day nostradamus.

Advise MS to do this, that and the other thing to prevent monopoly hearings. Call Michael Jackson to take it easy on the kids and thoroughly think about what music you make after 'HIStory pt. 1'. Fly over to hollywood in my time traveling UFO and take the Tilly! GUA HA HEE! Huh.. or whereever she lives at said time.

I’d go back in time and stop Sir Walter Raleigh. He was the first to introduced tobacco to Europe and made it popular. Smoking is costing me a fortune and killing me. I’m addicted. As John Lennon sang:
“I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get.”

 

[ai-ni-ichi]

i'd just go back in time to yesterday and put a couple of bets on

September 11 2001 and press the fire alarm in the WTC 30 mins before the tragedy was to unfold

I would go back to the last Thanksgiving Day that my "whole" family was together. I miss my mom and dad so much. Our Thanksgivings lasted three days every year, no less than 20 people at any given time in my mothers home. Coming and going all weekend. Football on the TV, football in their yard. Kids running, smells to melt the heart. Thursday the traditional sit down feast. Sat. we cooked out hot dogs, burgers etc. and did their yards (yes we ate inside) and Sun. leftover heaven, the greatest turkey rice soup you ever tasted and cold sandwiches. Plus anything else that was leftover on Sunday too.

Aren't memories great? I see some parents today not making them for their children thats so sad. I always made sure my children would have them, making them and then talking of them from time to time so they aren't forgotten.

OK I'll take my sentimental ass outta here now. Sorry about the big spill.

1978 in a Gym room with 13 (mostly hot) Cheerleaders staying overnight because of a Hurricane and I did nothing for being so naive and dumb (there were 4 more of us and a few did scored as I was told). With what I know now, who knows! :dunno:

If you go back far enough all you'll need is a PSP and a bag of snickers and you'll surely be crowned king of some place.

Yeah..or get your ass burned at the stake.

This is a good idea but mine is better...

Go back to the morning of the events and stop the terrorists in Logan airport. Stop the flights from taking off by calling out each one as a bomb threat plane. Only after observing each flight as it filled, to make sure that the "terrorists" existed and were who we are told they were. In any case, prevent the take-offs, then if the terrorists were never actually on board or whatever, record it to prove it to the people, keep going back in time to the same day until you can prove what happened or who was behind it. And then you'd not only save all those lives, but all the lives that have been lost in the vengeance that was spawned by it.

You're right, your idea is better

Selfishly, I'd go back to America under Clinton. It was so peaceful, I loved it so much, I miss it and want it back, I hope for Hilary. Maybe in 1999. June 25th. That would be the day. The day I met Julie. I want to start again from there.

As well as the ones that have already been mentioned, what if future time travel is regulated, much like nuclear weapons now? Limited and owned only by the most powerful governments and rarely used. Also, anyone who did it would know not to let any of us know because it would (thanks Doc Emmitt Brown) rupture the space-time continuum... in other words, the knowledge could change the future and then they might not have existed to give us the knowledge...

But this is what I think:

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY HAVEN'T COME BACK AND CHANGED EVENTS? Maybe Americans invented time travel, or the government got hold of it first, then they came back, and adjusted global events to make America the most powerful country in the world. Hmmm.

Hmmm... good point. Maybe some of them impressed the people around them just by the knowledge they had, so that they were perceived as supernatural? Whole religions could have developed upon this. One of those time travelers might have been called Jesus...

:hatsoff: Jackson

 

[dave_rhino]

i guess id go see the birth of Christ... IF it happened. Actually, maybe id pretend to be him, so theres tonnes of people worshipping me 2000 years later... hmmm, i think im onto something here

 

[SOLDIER_officer]

My first choice of going back to a point where I can cash in on the Dot-Com Boom is rather impractical.

I think I'd like to go back to the day my parents got married. They got divorced within a year or so of me being born so I have no memories of them being together as man and wife.

Eh, <outraged>....It was my idea!!!!

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

Great question to ask a history geek like me *blushes*

1) The assassination of JFK

2) The day of the Tet Offensive in Vietnam

3) The day Hannibal reached the summit of the Alps

I could go on, but I'd most likely bore everyone to death! LOL

I remember two of the three. What I was doing and where I was on Nov. 23 and the general chaos of that time with Viet Nam and Civil rights riots and battles in school between the Black and White kids. Some things are not as good to live through as you would think.

My grandfather on my dad's side died when i was a year old, i've heard so many great stories about him, how much he loved having a grandson, id have to go back and meet him and hang out with him, i dont know if id tell him who i was, id just enjoy his company and get to know the great man i have been told about my whole life.

I'd go back to high school, seriously, I miss it! Life was so much simpler then. Plus if I could go back knowing what I know now and as the person I am today...I'd be fuckin ALL the hotties! I'm a much different person now than I was then, and a whole hell of alot better with the ladies! Honestly was kinda a dork in highschool, but now I've got the whole badboy thing goin for me! Which by the way I've found that chicks actually do dig it!
So yea if I could go back to say first year in high school, but as the person I am today...shit would be a whole lot different...
