Here are the rules

You have a time machine, and you can use it to take you back for one day only. It is only one day (24hrs), and you cannot change anything or do anything to benefit yourself or anyone else. It is like you are not even there, no one even notices you, you can observe only. What day in history do you go back to watch?

There are so many events (Titanic, Jurasic Age etc), but I would have to go with Day 3 of the battle of Gettysburg to watch Pickett's charge. It would be amazing to see the bravery and leadership that took place that day on both sides.
 
id go back to when God was creating the world...and ask him why he would create woman and make them be both the source of all our pleasure and pain.....
 
Question.

I go back in time to whenever. OK.

Can anything bad happen to me? Do the other people there know I'm there? These are important questions.

I have an idea...but I need you to answer my ?'s first. 🙂

Nope nothing bad at all, its as if you were watching a real life movie. You are there but not involved. Although if you do not get passed 65mph as lightning strikes the clock tower you might have trouble getting back Doc. 😛
 
OK, cool.

I'd like to go back to the War Room, where the President and the military Commanders were debating whether or not to drop the bomb on Japan during WWII.

That day changed modern life/history as we know it, and started the Cold War, which shaped the world we live in today.

If I couldn't do that, I'd like to go back to me on any day b/t the ages of 18-22...those were my "lost years". I did/said many things...don't remember half of them...but most of them I'd really rather not have done b/c it took years to fix things. At least I'm honest. 🙂

:thumbsup:

Good idea, I bet the energy in that war room was intense.
 
second vote for a ride with JFK. well, not actually with him... that crazy bullet might actually dicide to hit me too.
think i'd rather be in the depository.
 
I'd like to be there when that giant meteorite hits Mexico and wipes out the dinosaurs.

Or on Mars when it was like Earth like a billion years ago.
 
Probably to the date of some biblical miracle, like when Moses parted the red sea. It'd be nice to know absolutely whether or not such things happened.

Alternatively, seeing a day in the life of an ancient Egyptian ruler would be pretty neat. Or seeing what really happened in Roswell in 1947.
