IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME ...

[AsahinaKimi]

Poll question: IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME ...

Would you go to the past or the future? Name where you would go and why?

[Forkboy]

1. Well, I suppose it depends on what I'll be doing when I arrive.

I'd hate to go back in time and end up as a eunoch, for instance. I'd also hate to go forward and end up as a Morlock.

I guess I'm happier here than I thought. Thanks, this year didn't suck so much after all! :)

[AsahinaKimi]

2. I would love to see

A real Starship...


or who knows..maybe this will actually be built..

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Yeah! I would love to be in the Trek universe.

[kentauros]

3. I would go to my own fictional world,

but I'm still in the process of writing it ;)

[flvegan]

4. I'd go back one year in time.

Of course, with me I'd take the winning Powerball and Lotto numbers for every drawing.

"Luckiest man in the world!" would be the headline.

[Lionel Mandrake]

24. I'd go back and sell a bunch of financial stocks short.....nt

[NewJeffCT]

5. I'd do something similar to flvegan

and, also warn myself to not get married the first time - if I could do that without causing the end of the world.

[dysfunctional press]

6. i'd go to the future and get a sports almanac...then take it to my younger self in the past

actually- i'd go WAY back in history, and buy a bunch of lesser drawings and sketches from leonardo davinci on the cheap and bring them back with me to sell in this time.

[kentauros]

7. All those wanting to strike it rich need to read

The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold :D

[phasma ex machina]

9. +1 A classic. I pick going to the future.

[SKKY]

51. Goes back in time and fucks himself???

Ewwww.

[AsahinaKimi]

8. I chose this image however..

maybe I should have chosen this..


Anyway.. both go to interesting places..

[Kaleva]

10. The past as then at least I'd have some idea what I'd be getting into.

[jmowreader]

11. I get to pick WHERE back in time I get to go, right?

Let's just say I would have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

[rcrush]

12. But how would I experience the timeline?

Is it like Back To The Future 2 where I can go into the future and observe myself in the future? Or will it be like Flight of The Navigator where if I go into the future 10 years I find a future where I am missing for 10 years?


If I go back in time do I go back and see myself in the past or do I go back and actually experience that time?

Is it like Quantum Leap where I am leaping into peoples bodies and keeping them from cheating on their wives or some shit?

[AsahinaKimi]

13. Okay its just like Dr. Who's Tardis

Set the controls.. go there. Stay or leave. Its up to you. You are just like Doctor Who..or the guy from the Time machine! But pick a place and time.. and tell us where you want to go.

[rcrush]

15. I'll have to watch en episode of Dr Who

I've never actually watched that show.

[AsahinaKimi]

16. Okay how about this...

Just like when Kirk used the Enterprise to go back in time...and ends up meeting Gary Seven

[rcrush]

18. So if I was going into the past say 10 years

Would I go back in time and see myself 10 years ago? Or would I go back in time relive 10 years ago with knowledge from the future?

[AsahinaKimi]

22. You could see yourself...

Like the Old Spock met the new Spock in the new Star Trek movie. Or you could avoid yourself all together and go some where else. You would be in two places at the same time.

[rcrush]

23. Hmm I'll need to do some experimenting.

I need some mushrooms and one of those plasma ball thingies.

[YankeyMCC]

14. I'm already traveling in time

I'll be in 2010 in about 2 hours

A teacher of mine has a bumper sticker I like "I'd rather be here now."

[qnr]

19. Future. Self-preservation, if I did something stupid, I wouldn't end up ensuring

that I wasn't born. On the other hand, if I did something that ensured that I wasn't born, then I wouldn't be born, so couldn't go back in time to do something to ensure that I wasn't born, which would mean that I would be born, and could go back in time to do something stupid and make sure that I wasn't born, which .... um... I think I'll have a drink or something.

[Jamastiene]

20. I would go to a fictional world...Gielinor.

I would live in Gielinor and be perfectly happy.

[texanwitch]

21. I would like to go back in time to see what my neighborhood looked like before the 1950's.

I have seen pictures but that isn't the same.

[AllenVanAllen]

25. I'd go into the future

about 10,000 years and see what Houston looks like. Space City?

[hunter]

52. Houston is underwater. Lots of water.

Nobody there but the fishes. Sorry to break the bad news.

[valerief]

26. If I could turn back ti-ime...(hair toss)...(upper lip lick).

42. bo-ring!

I'd go back to 1958 and try to nail Phyllis Kirk

[kentauros]

45. Take a nailgun and 20-penny nails, then.

:boring:

[elshiva]

28. I don't care where we go as long as get to travel with:

[MilesColtrane]

29. I would go to the past to see my Dad again.

And, then to catch a set of the Miles Davis quintet in their prime.

[JNelson6563]

30. I would go medieval!

Oh hell yeah! I've studied and researched the period from mid-1100's through early 1200's for some time now. Hope to write a book about a little known but major character of the time. Paying a visit in person to the time would certainly give me some serious advantages on that task. Many giants on the world stage about then, a most interesting time to visit IMO.

[bikebloke]

31. Can I take my digital camera and bring the photos back?

Actually, I'm trying to find a way just to send my current digital camera back to myself 20-30 years ago. I travelled with a film camera, but was very frugal with my shots and avoided my sneaky sniper shots of today.

[EndersDame]

32. Fuck The Past .. I would so want to see the Future

I want to see hovercrafts spaceships and jet packs. The past is just that the past it was backwards the further back you go the suckier it was for women minorities and the state of modern conveniences

[Bertha Venation]

33. The past. Because I have learned that

I didn't have to keep the peace with my psychotic ex-girlfriend. That it wasn't up to me to keep her happy. That when she went suicidally ballistic, and climbed out the window, and began to run to the end of the parking lot where there was a nasty, rock-strewn 40-foot drop, I did not have to follow her.

Until I learned this, I did not understand the meaning of the cliche, "If I had known then what I know now . . . "

[ArnoldLayne]

34. July 1,2 & 3 1863 The Battle of Gettysburg in the safety of a

Bullet-Proof protective glass bubble. Also London England 1967 to see Syd Barretts Pink Floyd perform at UFO and Marquee Clubs.

[Kansas Wyatt]

35. Future for LOTTO numbers.

The rest of my life would be a blast then.

[Sebastian Doyle]

36. or alternatively

you could write down the winning numbers of the biggest Powerball jackpot in history (so far) and go back in the past to buy a ticket for that drawing.

Actually, you could do that for ALL the powerball drawings.... after which you could afford to own your own time machine. Or even buy defense contractors, just to put them out of business, or convert them to something useful.

[jellen]

37. a fictional world "Shangrila"

[edbermac]

38. Back to Nov 22, 1963. Dealey Plaza in Dallas.

And find out what REALLY happened.

[Bucky]

39. Plus think about all those awesome souvenirs you could get!

Forget trying to stop the assassination; think about how big you could cash in on it!

[Bucky]

40. You forgot an option: "If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words..."

Of course, if you had a time machine you could go back three minutes into the past and prevent me from getting that annoying song stuck in your head.

[Drunken Irishman]

41. Both...but I'd love to go back to the birth of Jesus and see if it really happened that way.

[Bucky]

43. yeah, what's up with that "But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes" malarkey?

You gonna tell me he didn't get diaper rash as an infant? Like maybe he just healed his own diaper rash by laying on of hands? Pfff, as if! Everyone knows Jesus didn't get his powers until he was a teenager and had been exposed to the earth's lighter gravity and the sun's yellow rays for many years.

[rebel with a cause]

47. I have heard tell of children who do not cry....

Luckily I was not one of them and neither were my children. Who would want such a perfect child. :sarcasm:

[Bucky]

48. Actually it is a warning sign of autism, tho' that's not what the Sunday school song intended

At the very least, Jesus would be an autistic savant...

[rebel with a cause]

50. Yes, I know it is a warning sign of autism along with some

brain defects that are much more serious. I had a sister that did not cry very much, she may have been a little autistic, I don't know, only knew that she was difficult to live with in later years.(and not like an autistic person would be).

I was ignoring that knowledge and making light of it as an example of Jesus being portrayed as being perfect and the fact that no one in my group/family was. Just trying to be silly on a day that I feel like sh*t. :)

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

44. I'd choose to go back in time.

To "fix what once went wrong," or whatever Sam did in "Quantum Leap," only my quest would be personal... :-(

[rebel with a cause]

46. I'd like to go to the fictional world of 'Ill Gotten Gain"

I'm worn out from being honest and trying to doing the right thing. :sarcasm:

[Bucky]

49. I'll be right next door in the "Land of Illgottenbooty"

[hunter]

53. "I'm a very dangerous fellow when I don't know what I'm doing." -- Dr. Who

Unlike the Doctor, Hunter can be counted on to screw things up. Hunter's time travel license has been permanently revoked with no possibility of parole; the Time Jury destroyed his keys and burned his maps.

All I did was show a young Adolph Hitler some paintings by Thomas Kinkade... Who knew something so innocuous could destroy human civilization?

[FourScore]

54. I love where I'm at....I've traveled extensively already.

so I feel no need. But I travel frequently in my mind to all sorts of times and places...
