11 june 1405 AD, city of Fuzhou (China), the start of Zheng He's first travel. 317 ships, the biggests ever built, and 28.000 men and arms to discover, clear and claim the Indian Ocean and SouthEast Asia.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Hmmm, about 6000 yrs ago, in the Garden of Eden, so I can tell Eve not to eat that damn apple.

April 14th - 15th 1912 on board the Titanic from 11.38pm until 2.17am.

So many questions...I know the whole story so intimately that I would know exactly where to be at each instant, ticking off confirmation of speculation or the opposite.

I would be sure to be near Collapsible B at 2.17am to catch it as it was swept off the officer's quarters roof.
His jolly fat body quivers as the sun sets,
Each fat molecule cries for thin molecules,
'Help me!' his over fat little molecule face says.
He turns and quivers and farts and cries, fat man waits for help,
While he lies about everything. Fat men dies when bunting doesn't fly.
When bunting flies, a party happens. Fat men continue to die.
Bring him a taco, fill it full of meat and watch his fat little ass get some attitude...

"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34

Yeah, but maybe I could take advantage of Eve in her sinless state and become the father of mankind!!!...I think mobius may be involved in some way, perhaps in a different hole.

I'd like to go back to ~1975, and I'd spend the first half of the day at one of my grandparents' house, then have them drive me to my other grandparents' house about 80 miles away.

This would be before my maternal grandmother was destroyed by lupus, and my maternal grandfather was so worn down by dealing with it. It would be before my fraternal grandparents slowed down so much.

I would trade the opportunity to do anything else at any time... just for that.

About me: If I had my way I'd buy a few acres of land and an old tractor. I'd drive the old tractor around the land and passers-by would stop to ask me what kind of crop I was farming. "Crop?" I'd say, "Crops are work, I'm planting ideas."

Then I'd go back and fuck your mother the day you were conceived. I'm sure my sperm would kick your dad's sperm's asses, and that's assuming your mom would even want a second shag that day, the slut.

Did she at least have nice tits when she was young? Or will it be a pure pity fuck for me?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to make sure my penis is free of cuts or open sores when I bang her. And even without that care, the chances of getting AIDS from a chick are low. I'll also be sure to get a complete 21st century medical checkup the next day anyway. God knows what other diseases that trollop might carry.
