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.

Ahh, Nelson.

For a famous man of war, he always looks so 'armless.

"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.
