It got all in the keys and I decided it wasn't worth cleaning up so I just trashed it and brought out my old one.

Ha ha. You spilled salsa all over -

Eh. It's just not the same when you do it later.

1. The Resurrection
2. The first atomic bomb test at Los Alamos
3. The Kennedy assassination
4. Hendrix at Woodstock

No, I would NOT want to know my death date.

Some other events that would be cool to see:

1. The takedown of the Incan Empire
2. The fall of Rome
3. The last 30 days of construction of the Great Pyramid
4. The Gettysburg Address
5. Washington's speech to the troops
6. The signing of the Magna Carta
7. The battle of Agincourt
8. The battle of Hastings
9. If we could change history, it'd sure be nice to be at the Library at Alexandria ten minutes before the fire started.
10. The Colosseum during a match

If you want to know ask me I have tons of background on it. And the answer is you would be somewhere in Palestine by yourself.

The Dalton Raid on Coffeyville or Gettysburg. I would get more bang for the buck with Gettysburg because it lasted 3 days as opposed to 20 minutes for the Daltons.

Does witness being present? If so, I want to witness Armstrong stepping on the moon since that means I get to be there too! :thumb:


No, don't want to know when I will die.

VonneMarie 04-03-2006 05:42 PM

1) The Titanic (contruction and all that)
2) MLK I Have A Dream Speech
3) The Hindenburg
4) The Gettysburg Address
5) Pearl Harbor
6) Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (From the decision to drop the bomb to everything that happened after)

And no I don't want know when I'll die.

mike_b_284 04-03-2006 06:04 PM

can we change the historic event? or bet on it?

no I don't think I would want to know when I die.

Donger 04-03-2006 06:49 PM

For clarification, yes, you are there (whenever and wherever), and you know what is going to happen. And yes, you can replay the event as many times as you like.

You cannot change the event, however. Just a bystander.

So many choices...

I wouldn't have minded meeting Sir Issac when he was writing the Principia and having the discussion of a lifetime.

Sitting in while Aristotle tutored Alexander the Great would really have been something incredible to me. Two of histories greatest minds (for vastly different reasons, though.)

For dark amusement, I would liked to have watched the Russian Nobles and their multiple attempts on Gregor Rasputin. I think it would have been a real "comedy of errors".

Finally, if I'm allowed to moderately intervene and not just watch, I'd have pushed a certain German Artillery Corporal just a few feet closer to that shell blast back in WW1, and saved the world a lot of trouble.

Nope, I wouldn't want to know when I die. Why ruin the novel by skipping to the last chapter?
