To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

"Screw an ancestor"?  What the hell, dude.

Pedrito

Monies. After that, probably trying to gain some kind of knowledge useful for my actual self.

Just cause you can travel in the past doesn't mean that somebody famous would want to screw you.

And you didn't even put in my Quantum Leap joke.

I killed JFK in order to mess with conspiracy theorits.   :)

I mean that's what I would do if I had a time machine; which I do not.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

As much fun as it would be to experience more racism and hatred of homosexuals in the past, I'll pass.

Not a Futurama fan.  I find it pedantic and pedestrian.  Translate to Family Guy, please.

I think about the money-making thing all the time :ph34r:

Just think what you could accomplish if you put your energies towards realistic schemes.

I doubt anyone from the past would believe you if you said you were from the future, so trying to convince famous people to do stuff would be difficult.

So I think the H2H with me would be a better idea. There are some pretty important things I would say. I'd also just drop young MIM some stock charts.

I prefer the Red Dwarf version, in which a time travelling JFK was behind the grassy knoll and shot himself. -_-



As an amusing aside... my parents took a trip to Dallas maybe tenyears ago, in part to visit an aunt but also just to see Texas.  One of the places they checked out was the Texas book depository.  My dad being weird, he took some grass clippings from the grassy knoll.

When they flew through customs, they got extra special attention from customs.  Their bags were turned inside out, but of course they didn't find anything.  Eventually in frustration the border guard asks them "so where is it - the stewardess overheard you talking about making sure the grass was safe".
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.
