Time travel poser.

This time travel thing has always interested me.

Suppose you could go back in time for ONE minute only and do ONE thing only, just what would it be.

Would you be selfish and do something for yourself or be magnamanous and do something that would benefit all mankind.

I would be quite tempted to go back to Hitler when he was a baby and kill him.

There again could you really kill a little baby ?

Gee what a horrible thought.

I think I would probably do something just for myself, like maybe win a big lottery from a few years ago.

I wonder is it bad to look after just yourself if you could go back for just one minute.

Would be interesteing to find out just how many would be selfish like me or more concerned about the human race.

The problem is that you may create a worse future in the process. You just never know!

I would actually use it to my own benefit. Major historical events being changed "could possibly" change history and alter everything we would know. OR...it might not. Chances are it would though, logically.

I would drop through make a bit of money off of Microsoft, maybe throw down on some stocks and investments and possibly make arrangements to watch Marilyn Monroe in the shower for a bit.

I would not go back to change anything, but I would like to be witness to various events to prove their validity to myself.

Miss Monroe in a shower

Spoilsport!

Yes Exaclty. Killing one butterfly could change thw whole future unimaginably! One little thing could chnge the entire future.

In the case going back to alter the past, the future time traveler has already failed! Our past still exists in this continuum, and Is either the product of or in spite of any intervention... until it changes and we can't remember because we have a shiny new past or our brains are Green Jell-O.

Im going back to win the lottery , not to assasinate a butterfly

Why are you going back ?

Tis a hard question.

I have been through a lot.
A lot of things in my life I at first think, I would love to change.
But then I realize, changing such events would only change me, and hey...
I like me.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I think the only thing I can even concider changing, would be to bring back lottery numbers from the week before and win the lottery just once. LOL
I would do that! Yup yup! I would.

great excercise in thinking though.

And there are some events I would love to go back and witness for myself, or even some events in my own life, I would love to go back and re experience, but I cant say I would want to change anything, besides winning the prior weeks lottery.

I'd go back as a NHL referee in the last regular season game versus Vancouver & Colorado. And just before Todd Bertuzzi gets caught up in his emotions (and what Steve Moore said to him in the seconds leading up to the incedent...and he did say something. Hocky fan every where will tell you that[Hocky fans that have played and know the trash talk that happens].) and strikes and land on Steve Moore, I'd blow the whistle and give him a 10 min major and a game misconduct for......anything....looking at my wife in the stands, who cares really. Bascially just get Tod off the ice.

That incedent runed my Canucks chance in the playoffs and is the only thing in my life that I would change....yep Iam Canadian.

Good to see you are so benevolent.

Most of us, go for money or assasinating people who caused the world to have bad times.

Putting your arm around a hockey player ?

Well I would have put plenty at 6 to 5 that this would not have come up

You must understand, in need nothing like money and material things. I have everything I want...Except for seeing my Vancouver Canucks win a Stanley Cup. Plus it would do good for both Tod(no suspention = Stanley Cup for Vancouver) and Steve(no injury = loose to Vancouver in the playoffs).

No, I think that HumptyDumpty would go back to just moments before all the kings horses and all the kings men came rushing over and put a helmet on.

if you could go back in time as a digital hologram you would not be able to take any hard ware stuff with
you back to the future !!
so winning the loterie...forget it

I'd go back in time, turn the lights out in the bedroom, knock Joe DiMaggio unconscious, and have a romp with Marilyn.

Wait you said a whole minute?

Then I'd have a cigarette too...

A good obersavtion on my name Jonna

But my interpertation of my name is a little bit different...Humpty Dumpty sat on a fence... Iam Italian(We have been labled "fence sitters" from the WW's), and I tend to sit back and analize both sides of a event till the right moment to make my move is at hand...Hence HumptyDumpty, the "fence sitter".

In a recent survey it was discovered that most people on ATS desired a minute (including a smoke) with Miss Monroe
