I don't have any technical skills. So i would probably be a farmer or something. What would you do?

I would go around teaching the chicks new and fun ways to have sex in a room.

What I do for a living wouldn't help me at all...
But I could probably play some music once I got the hang of the lute as compared to guitar, write, or philosophize.

Assuming I could get some copper drawn into wire, I'd migrate to the byzantine empire, build a couple of low pressure steam engines and build a power system -- and that's how the byzantines came to rule the world today...

Wait...500, not 1500...okay, same deal, but England.

I'd invent the light bulb and either be burned as a witch or make my mark on history.

I would open an Inn/Alehouse. I'd be the publican. It would be called The Three Black Crows Inn. It would be baller.

I would probably be hung, stoned, or just simply dead from some other horrible means of dying, e.g. drawn + quartered (eep) for being an Asian that could speak English. :confused: :Q

Haha.. no doubt. If I was suddenly back 500 years in history but still here in Arkansas I'd likely be fscked. Now if I was transported back to where my ancestors came from in Europe I might be oK.
