    ...and could only take one (1) item with you, what would it be?

    It would have to be something tangible, you can't say something like a love of life, a corporation, or world peace (obviously, you can't take something 'with you' that we don't already have)...

    The item must be something you actually own, or could aquire through any means, legal or not. Examples of possible things to take with you would be:
    <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>your computer
    <LI>your music collection
    <LI>other electronics
    <LI>a book of world history
    <LI>Gray's Sports Almanac
    [/list]

    You get the idea.

    *note: Taking the 'time machine' back with you so you can return is not an option.

    Good idea and if i get exhausted i guess they wont mind your tight hole for abit..so i guess the object you better take back if we're going is so lubricant.

    It depends on how far back I go....if it is, say, 10 to 40 years, then you're fucking right I would take a Gray's Almanac with me!

    If it were the 1920's...a shitload of any kind of alcohol..

    Any further than that...a lifetime supply of antibacterial soap, or maybe a stockpile of machine guns (in the middle ages, a career as a warlord would be set).


    Now, here is another question - what would you bring back with you??

    I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone say 'Penicillin' yet...

    Well, if we get marooned back in time, I don't know how much longer I would want to live...so I figure, "do as the Romans do". Drink, fight, fuck, spread diseases (that's the GG in me talking), so when you die from them, you take everyone with you as a gesture of your bitterness that you got stuck back in time with all of those fucking devolved primates.

    (Who knows, maybe that is how epidemics came to be in history).

    Whatever I could... (the normal 'time frame' stipulation applies, too)

    <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>strategically selected comics
    <LI>coins
    <LI>war surplus items
    <LI>furniture
    <LI>'old' electronics
    <LI>some yard darts
    <LI>an extensive supply of early 1900's OTC medicines
    <LI>raw opium
    <LI>a couple of slaves
    <LI>Marilyn Monroe
    <LI>a trail-wise Indian with an eye for Peyote
    <LI>a young Timothy Leary (Always wanted to meet that fucker)
    [/list]

    That's just a few...

    I would also probably bring back some authentic Negroes, too (right out of 1850, or so). That would be kind of fun.

    ok.. a similar question.. if you could only go to one particular time period, and the chances of returning are slim..which period in history would you choose to stay?

    Well, if it were in the days when you had to soak up your menses in a rag, I'd say I'd bring a big ol' box of tampons!

    That's a good question... I can think of a few places...

    The Cretaceous Period: Can you imagine how good some RIBS would be back then? Brontosaurus burgers, here I come!

    The Civil War: Imagine how useful a single uzi or other nice modern weapon would be in determining the outcome of that war?

    1977 I'd befriend a little-known kid named 'Bill Gates.'

    Biblical Times I'd just love to go back and laugh at a bunch of Jews wandering aimlessly in the desert for 40 years.

    There's more, but class is about to start... I'll elaborate later (maybe after I get those tornado pics posted... )
