What would you do with a time machine?

[zprospero]

I'd go back to the middle ages with a great deal of machines, generators, etc...

And convince one of the lords that I was a powerful wizard and exchange my

'magic' assistance for gold and treasure, ancestral castles, etc.

 

Then return to current time and go prove my lineage

and get the castles and sell all the treasure.

I'd flip my time machine into 7th gear and floor it for 80,000 years into the future..until i land on a completly transformed planet..where civilization as we know it has been destroyed and reformed over and over throught the years..Then i'd join a tribe of humans who for some reason don't look all that evolved but have forgotten to speak english completely.. i would THEN teach them to fight instead of pissing themselves everytime a bloody morlok runs into town looking for a victim.
