what would you choose?

Also, if you could find out the precise time of your death, would you want to know?

Thanks.

Unjustified pride, you fucking idiot. Please do try to follow along or at least pretend to do so.

It'd be nice to learn definitively if western religion is based on a miracle or a hungry coyote.

Oh my.

One of the things I would, and will, want to see is when BIllary loses the election in 2008. It will be tremendous to see the liberals have a massive meltdown if they haven't already done so after the election this fall.

I hope to be here to see the Chiefs win SBXLI.

I saw the Chiefs win SBIV.

I don't necessarily care who shot Kennedy, and I don't care about the conspiracy theories about who might have been involved. Kennedy is still dead and all of the theories will not make him undead.

I was watching on TV when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon.

I've read about Pearl Harbor and have been there on numerous occasions, I don't think first hand witnessing of the attack would make it any more real. I've conversed with about 15 of the guys that survived, their stories were real and told with great compassion for their shipmates that died.

I was there at the end of the Vietnam War.

I was watching the news when both shuttle disasters were reported.

I was near Silver Springs, MD when 9/11 happened and I watched the videos over and over, just like everyone else. I do not think being there would have added to the experience and rage that we all felt.

I don't care to know when I die, I just hope that I can keep clean and straight enough through my life to be acceptable into heaven.

I knew that when the towers started falling that there were many people inside that were going to die, I'm sure that they knew too. I don't think the knowledge did much for them in those last minutes. I think the people in the second tower really knew they were going to die when they saw the first tower go down, I'm sure they were in much the same state of mind.

Christ's death. Christ's birth.

Lenin being greeted in Petrograd in 1917. "Long live the world-wide Socialist revolution!" And the crowd screaming back in agreement.

Napoleon crowning himself.

D-Day

The Battle of Trafalgur and Admiral Nelson's death

The miracle is that Jesus was not in his tomb three days after his death. His body was missing. He had resurrected. Rain Man, is making a joke that maybe a coyote just ate his body, and that's why it was missing. But that's not likely, because there was supposedly a big rock in front of the tomb.

Good joke still.

For me, the number one event I would like to witness would be the signing of the Decleration of Independence. Actually, all of the debate that took place amongst the delegates leading up to it would be fascinating as well.

Other events I wouldn't mind seeing -

Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty" speech

The Tet Offensive

The duel between Hamilton and Burr

The Gunfight at the OK Corral

I'll probably think of others later...

No, I do not want to know when I will die. Why ruin the surprise?

You'd be surprised, dude. Last place I worked I would get asked from time to time if we served fried chicken, I'd respond yes and point to the cfc on the menu. They would respond by saying, "No, not chicken fried chicken, FRIED chicken." They typically got a blank stare from me.

Jenson71 · 04-03-2006, 10:50 PM

It would be amazing to sit in on the Yalta or Teheran Conferences...

Or Grant and Lee signing.

Or Lincoln being shot.
