If you could go back in time what would you do?

Top one's over now, Jesus didn't exist IMHO, M$ would get you big bucks, sports and M$ are similar, M$ is easier than remembering sport scores, Marylin Monroe and the bottom one are mutually exclusive, you'd either do one or the other, already did the bottom one.

So M$ wins!

jesus didnt exist??

 

[MichaelD]

I'd have not dropped out of college.
I'd have not hung out (too much ) w/the wrong crowd
I'd have FINALLY punched my father in face and probably killed him after the 14 thousandth time he beat me, well into my teen years
I'd have not dated my son's mother for more than a week

Other than that, no changes.

I get intellectual property rights to the new timeline I create, right? As in the whole thing belongs to me now, since I made it?

Jesus didn't exists huh? Riiiiiight. even if you don't believe in Christianity you have to know that there was a historical figure named Jesus Christ. Denying his existence would be like trying to deny that any other historical figure, say George Washington, never existed.

I mean that I wouldn't bother to get his story, since in my opinion there isn't really one (a story), because I don't believe he was anyone special.

How about one added "knock off grampa bush as a baby."


I answered Jesus.

 

[spanky]

i'd do the M$ thingie

You forgot the "Change timeline accidentally so your mother falls in love with you, then set it up so she gets back together with your Dad at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, provide the basis for rock and roll to Chuck Berry, and do all this before the famous lighting strike of 1955 on the courthouse clock tower" option.

Good one!

I'd go with the M$ route myself, but with my luck, I'd go through a red light, create a chain reaction accident and kill the entire M$ board so the company never takes off and end up worse off than I am now.

 

[acidvoodoo]

eat a banana

 

[spanky]

then invest half ur fortune in something else too... like intel

 

[notfred]

Bring back a couple of today's computers and give them to the smart guys that started today's big computer companies.

Then I'd come back to today and go out and buy a P4 200ghz PDA for $19.95.

 

[spanky]

or maybe i would start selling computers outta my basement and beat micheal dell to the punch. all ur desktops at work would be called spanky optiplex's... and ur servers would be called spanky poweredge's...

 

[dighn]

i would umm take today's discoveries/technologies back and speed up everythng!! might not be such a good idea but it would make an interesting experiement, on the world. LOL

i voted investing in ms cuz that option wasn't there

 

[exp]

One time during college I dropped by the liquor store to pick up a case of Guiness. But there was only one left, and as I hurried down the aisle to grab it this asshole stepped in front of me and snatched it out from under my very hands. I'll never forget the gloating look that smarmy prick gave me.

Sure, it would be tough to choose that incident over the chance to kill Hitler and prevent tens of millions of deaths, but if I could change one thing about the past I would probably go to the store 5 minutes early just to cut that loser off. Heh, I can just imagine the shocked look on his face, like "OMG, j0o pwNd m3!!11!!", as I rip the beer away from his outstretched hands. Oh baby, that would be sweet...

I wouldn't just invest in Microsoft, I'd put money in Xerox too.

xerox vs intel

either way, 2000 would've been a nice time to sell

 

[Kadarin]

I would go back in time to make sure that neither Jesus nor Mohammad became historically significant figures. The world would be better off without either religion.

You do realize that many Muslim and Christian clerics contributed significantly to the progress of the arts and sciences throughout the last 2000 years, right?

Yeah, I was going to say that they were both about the same at the peak (2000). I'd probably invest in Disney and Intel too and pick up some 1960's Porsche 356 Speedsters and 550 Spyders (James Dean died in a 550 Spyder) and a couple of Ferrari Daytona's. I'd sell the cars in the severely over-inflated exotic-car market of the 1980's and make some good money off of them. I'd have to keep one of each of the cars for myself though.

Those same people would likely have contributed to the arts and sciences had they been artists and scientists, as opposed to clerics.
