If you could go back in time

[mr. tegu]

What events, places, or things would you like to see?

[Prison Bitch]

Aside from killing Hitler or Stalin, I'd probably have drafted Marino in 83


Those years at Camrohead as a kid would've been EPIC seeing that animal out there

[Mephistopheles Janx]

I'd go to the Americas around 1490 and warn people that there was a threat coming and they should prepare themselves.

[mr. tegu]

I was thinking more along the lines of observing, but it's always an interesting thought exercise to try to imagine how things would be different or would have changed with a small change or intervention.

[tk13]

I would've gone back to the 50s and made a small fortune on horse racing, opened a casino and stolen George McFly's girlfriend.

[KChiefs1]

I'd try to save people murdered by serial killers.

I would love to watch even one day of the pyramids being built. Along with a myriad of other megalithic structures.

[Frazod]

I'd shoot Elvis Grbac in the kneecaps on January 3, 1998.

[Otter]

To make it clear I would want to be an invisible observer in a flying pope mobile that could fast forward through the boring parts and wouldn't alter history:

1. The Mongols conquest of Baghdad and Southern Russia. The Mongols have always fascinated in how they almost conquered everything that didn't require sea travel, their efficiency and ruthlessness.

2. Hitler's ascension into power.

3. Too much to narrow down into one event but what went on behind the scenes in WWII. I'd have to brush up and prioritize on this one.

4. Cortes’s conquering of, oh, let's just go with south America and above.

5. How I made it home in one piece a couple nights while in college walking through downtown Pittsburgh by myself.

[Baby Lee]

If I were going back and staying back. . . . I'd probably start up in Deadwood right before everyone knew about the gold. Scoop up enough gold to live on, head back east and work with to right people to bring electricity and railroad west, then hang out with a young Tesla and warn him about Edison.

No thanks... Something would go wrong and mess up the time space continuum and I would have to get my parents together....plus find the exact time and place a lightning strike happens to get back home...

Following your rules:

1. Battle of Troy, plus I want to see if Helen was worth it.
2. Battle of Thermopylae
3. Various battles of the Third Serville War, including what actually became of Spartacus.
4. Various battles of Caesar's Gallic campaign, his ascent to power and assassination, and Antony's actual speech (I'm assuming for all this I'll have some sort of translation device :D )
5. I want to know what actually happened at Roanoke.
6. Battles of Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill
7. Battle of Gettysburg
8. Quantrill burning Lawrence :evil:
8. Custer's Last Stand
9. Pearl Harbor attack

[Bewbies]

I'd go back and buy a bunch of bitcoin a few years ago and would go back to a few months before the iPod was introduced and invest everything I had in Apple.

Also would be worth going back to alter history and help avoid wars too.

[BWillie]

I would go back to 2004, drop out of college, play 50 hrs of online poker a week until 2010 and then retire.

[BWillie]

If you went back in time to before you exist you could put into play a chain of events that would alter the future, even if it was ever so slightly that you parents didnt meet or met later. You could jeopardize your own existence

[Reerun_KC]

I would go back and kick Marty square in the nuts for being a gutless pussy in the playoffs with superbowl caliber teams...

[alpha_omega]

I'd shoot Elvis Grbac in the kneecaps on January 3, 1998.

Going back by century, I'd go with:

2000s - Seeing the special forces raid on bin laden's compound
1900s - V-E day
1800s - Gettysburg Address
1700s - Signing of the Declaration
1600s - Something big in Versailles
1500s - Hang with Leonardo da Vinci for a while
1400s - Probably Columbus' return to Spain
1300s - No idea. Probably not anything near the Black Death.
1200s - Travel around with Marco Polo
1100s - Maybe go on a crusade
1000s - Travel with William the Conquerer to Hastings
900s - No idea. Join the Vikings as they rape and pillage, I guess.
800s - No idea. Maybe join up the with the Vikings again.
700s - Watch the Battle of Tours, maybe.
600s - No idea.
500s - No idea.
400s - No idea. I don't really want to see Rome fall. Maybe I'd hang out with some Roman emperor.
300s - No idea. Probably hang out with a Roman emperor, perhaps one of the crazy ones.
200s - See above.
100s - See above.
0s - See above.

Probably would have been better to take out Bono. That one touchdown shit would have gotten us killed the following week even if we'd had Vinatari.

I don't have to be close.....

[Buehler445]

I would love to watch even one day of the pyramids being built. Along with a myriad of other megalithic structures.

I very much do NOT. Work is hard now and was hard then.

I would be down for some of the planning and engineering, but the actual labor, out.

As far as me, there are way too many to choose from. In addition to a bunch of others listed.

I'd probably watch Hiroshima from the Enola Gay.
KU winning all their titles.
SB IV
Jordan's flu game
D-Day but I'm not sure I could stomach it.
Louis and Clark.
Probably hang out with Sinatra in the Rat Pack days.
I'd love to see open medieval war in Europe. That has always fascinated me.
I'd love to hang out at the airstrips where they tested all the neat planes.

[MatriculatingHank]

It's 1969:
On Jan. 24th I go to Madison Square Garden and see Jim Morrison and the Doors.

On January 30th I'd go to the top of Apple Corps headquarters and watch and listen as the Beatles played their last concert together.

On February 15th I cross the pond to The Town Hall in Birmingham, England to see T.Rex open for David Bowie

On April 18 I go to Memphis, TN and watch Jimi Hendrix open for the Monkees.

On April 27th I go to Mother's Club, Birmingham, England to see Pink Floyd and try to talk my way into going into the studio the next day as they are recording Ummagumma.

On July 4th-5th I head to Atlanta for the Atlanta International Pop Festival to see Led Zeppelin, Spirit, Butterfield Blues Band, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter and a dozen more artists.

On July 31 I head to the International Hotel in Vegas for the opening show of Elvis Presley's 1969 Comeback Tour

On August 8th I'd stand at the corner of Abbey Road and Alexandra Road outside Abbey Road Studios and get my photo taken with the Beatles as they crossed the street.

From August 15th to 18th I'm at with 400,000 freaks at The Woodstock Festival.

On October 19th I make it to The Electric Factory in Philly to see The Who.

Oh yeah, gotta see some football:

January 12 let's go to the Orange Bowl in Miami to see Broadway Joe beat the Colts in Super Bowl III.

October 4th we head to Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama and watch Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning complete 33-of-52 passes for 436 yards and two touchdowns and run 15 times for 104 yards and three touchdowns. Yet Ole Miss loses to Alabama 33-32.

And on On December 20 we brave the cold in New York City as Willie Lanier makes a passionate plea for the Chiefs defense to make a valiant goal line stand against the New York Jets in the AFL Divisional playoffs. If not for that stand, the Chiefs don't make it to Super Bowl IV.

Yeah, I've got too much time on my hands tonight....

[displacedinMN]

See my parents and other relatives-but not interact with them. Not BTTF type.

[Over Yonder]

The ascension would be the first I think. Would really need to think it through though. Lots of history and science stuff. WWII events, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, the 1970 Super Bowl.

On a personal level, if I could go back in time I would of signed up with the army recruiter that talked with me in school. 18 years old +20 years service=38 years old and retired, DAMN!! Fumbled the ball there:(

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Tim Bone would not like my response.

[Coochie liquor]

I would love to have gone to the Smile Jamaica concert. It was during a very rough time in Jamaica because of the 2 opposing political factions who were fighting for control over the island.
Just 2 days after a political assassination attempt was made on Bob Marley's life – resulting in him getting shot along with his wife Rita & manager Don Taylor – he boldly continues on his musical mission to play at the Smile Jamaica Concert at National Heroes Park in Kingston, Jamaica on the 5th of December, 1976!

Nice one. Bob Marley's biography is fascinating. One of the best music bios I have read. He was basically an orphan. They made their own instruments and slept on the beach. It is a shame he died so young, he was becoming one of the biggest stars in the world. I would go back and make him go to the doctor when his toe first became infected and turned into cancer.

Going back in time there would be several other moments I would like to see that has to do with music.

Rush's first show in the basement of a church and also the first with Neil Peart.

First time Jimmy Page and John Paul got together with Bonham and Plant. To hear that first song they played together, knowing they would change music forever.

Would like to go back and hang out with Jimi in the New York clubs before he was a star. Then see him at Monterey and Woodstock. Pop in and warn him of his pending death, if changing history would be possible. Oh, the music he would have created.

Watch Van Halen when they first got with Roth and were playing in people's backyards.

See the US Festival- so many great bands.

Hang out with Jim Morrison when he first joined the Doors. Watch him pen future classics.

Sit around Sun Studio as all those Kings of Rock worked on their music. Ride along with Elvis in his delivery truck and listen to him talk about the future- beg him never to sign with the Colonel and stick to creating music. Have a beer with a young Johnny Cash.

Pop in at the Winter dance party and keep Buddy Holly from making that phone call reserving an airplane for him, Bopper and Valens. Holly and Valens would have changed music history if they had lived. Holly already had a huge impact on the Stones and Beatles- and Valens was just getting started.

Stand outside the Dakota and keep John Lennon from getting shot to death. Kidnapped Yoko so John would have never met her. The Beatles had so much more music to make.

Go back and watch Ray Charles as he is learning piano- tell him to stay away from needles. Be at that club when James Brown stood up and sang for the first time. Listen to Little Richard developing his style as he changed from fry cook to rock star.

Stop Cortney Love from murdering Cobain.

And more recent- save Chris Cornell from his untimely fate.

[Rasputin]

I would like to watch Jesus died on the cross and on the first day of the week before dawn, hide nearby the cave that buried Him and wait.

What are you going do when Jesus first comes out of the cave with the boulder moved Jump out from behind a rock and yell "BOO" with your hands waving in the air?

[scho63]

I would go back in time and tell Cosmo's and OaklandHater's and NinerDoug's dads to pull out and then drive their Mom's to the nearest abortion clinic if Dad didn't heed my advice.

[Rasputin]

I'd see to it the Chiefs would have drafted Dan Marino guy and not that Todd Blackledge guy. Also if we went to the Super Bowl with Dan Marino make sure he has the laces in not out on field goal attempt.

[scho63]

Also, I would pull an act out of Ace Ventura and kidnap the Kicker Who Shall Remain Nameless on the eve of our big playoff game.

[Prison Bitch]

NOt a tough one there.

The settlers went native and lived on an island nearby. You can probably guess what the natives called the island.

It happened all the time. I mean, we don't KNOW 100%, but I think we can be pretty confident what happened.

But really, good list. I'd be more interested in the punic wars, but still. Good list.

[Easy 6]

History talks a lot about wars and battles, and that's understandable. They're often tipping points in history. But like you, I don't really have an interest in seeing a lot of trauma.

If we want to avoid major bloodshed, there are still a lot of interesting options. A day at the pyramids has already been mentioned, and that's a great idea. It would also be fun to hear James Madison presenting his concept for the Constitution in Philadelphia. Or how about watching da Vinci paint the smile on the Mona Lisa? A royal wedding in the French court would be interesting, or how about sailing into Japan with Commodore Perry's fleet?

The last one makes me realize too how western our thinking is. I bet all sorts of interesting stuff happened in Japan and China and India over the past 3,000 years, and I know almost nothing about it.

[ThaVirus]

The indigenous people could've prepared all the wanted, and it still wouldnt be enough to stop muskets


If you went back in time and warned every Native American about their eventual fate, it would have taken a hell of a lot longer for Europeans colonize the Americas.

Ultimately, I think the outcome would have been the same though. They'd have had no defense against disease.

I would go back to 1993 and take my best man's advice. He tried to talk me into going out partying instead of going to my wedding. Then I would invest a ton of money in Google. I had a friend in the 90's suggest that I invest in Google. I laughed at him and asked what future was there for a free online search engine. Oops! Those 2 choices being reversed would have changed my entire adult life.
Oh yeah. I would take the scoffers on here back in time a million years just to show them that nothing existed.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Pfffft. Like you do it for the money.ROFL

Ok, you got me !

[jjchieffan]

As far as things that I would like to go back in time for, first on my list would be the lifetime if Christ. I think it would be great to hear him preaching the seron on the mount, to be there when he fed the 5000, to see him perform his miracles and just to shake his hand. It would also be interesting to see the Garden of Eden before the fall of man. To see a perfect world not corrupted by sin. I would like to meet David, Solomon, Moses, Noah, Abraham, and many other great men of the Bible.

[lewdog]

I would go back about 4.6 billion years ago to watch the Earth being formed by collisions of disc-shaped clouds of material that also formed the Sun. Would have been amazing to watch.

History talks a lot about wars and battles, and that's understandable. They're often tipping points in history. But like you, I don't really have an interest in seeing a lot of trauma.

If we want to avoid major bloodshed, there are still a lot of interesting options. A day at the pyramids has already been mentioned, and that's a great idea. It would also be fun to hear James Madison presenting his concept for the Constitution in Philadelphia. Or how about watching da Vinci paint the smile on the Mona Lisa? A royal wedding in the French court would be interesting, or how about sailing into Japan with Commodore Perry's fleet?

The last one makes me realize too how western our thinking is. I bet all sorts of interesting stuff happened in Japan and China and India over the past 3,000 years, and I know almost nothing about it.

Look up James Clavell...

It's great reading if you're interested...

Shogun is my favorite, but Tai Pan is great too

Looooooong reads though

I would go back to 1706 and see my ancestors in Inverness, Scotland - tell them to hurry up and head to the "New World"....the finally got here in 1722.

Id go back to the Patterson films and just shoot that big bastard and be done with the mystery

I'd want to go back in time and introduce a concept called Rock and Roll to Wolfgang~Amadeus Mozart and Lugwin Van Beetoven.

Introducing them to the electric guitar.

That will be tough with no electricity :D

Besides.... you saw how those people looked at Marty McFly!

[jjchieffan]

I'm surprised that nobody has said this yet. Go back to the 2000 draft and convince Carl Peterson to draft Tom Brady.

Always someone throwing a rock into my glass bubble.

Seeing something and changing something are two different questions.

They would burn you at the stake for being a witch.
