suzerain Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 require learning difficult languages and dressing like an idiot (pantaloons/codpiece/giant ruffs/toga/weird-coloured jumpsuits anyone?) umm. Perhaps I should really never open my wardrobe, in that case... Frock coats, pantaloons, ruffed shirts, one codpeice (leather, blackadder style) , and a fleadhmhor, too, along with two suits of armour and plenty of weirder stuff... For the whole christianity bit, there is actual textual evidence of the crucifixion in roman records from judea, for that time. Christ was a real person, he was crucified. Does'nt make him the son of god however... but he was'nt a fictional character, that much is definate. Would be fun to find out how much of a deluded loony he actually was, or if he is God's avatar, then I want to know that water to wine trick. and I'd like to tell him what his followers have done in his name, and see if he still thought it a good idea. and eras? Victorian London 1889, as a designer... Plus I love the clothes. nothing beats wearing a formal frock coat, top hat, riding boots, linen shirt and having a cane to hand... and getting to wear them without being considered a weird goth would be fun. Hell, I have an entire wardrobe of original clothes from then already. :) Florence, 1490. Both Da Vinci and Albrecht Durer in the regions, the De Medici and Sforza dynasties in their heyday, and the rennaisance in full swing. Gimmie the cash and let's see if I can out-manipulate De Medici and Machievelli... German states of the Holy Roman Empire, c 1500, to train against the real experts with male without a father sword, and find out how much I really know, and how much we've forgotten. Dallas, Texas, November 22nd 1964, the grassy knoll, just to find out if there was a second sniper.... and then onto a bus and off to San Fransisco and the Haight-Ashbury in the heyday, then down to LA and see the Doors live. :) Glastonbury Tor, C. AD1350 (can't remember the exact date) to find out what really happened when the monks "found" the bodies of King Arthur Uther Pendragon and Guinevere... and given enough cash, London, 1795. god, what an age of decadence for the landed and the rich. I'd fit right in. :) Suz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hir_Nesta Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I would also like to meet Jesus Christ. To see what he would feel of his preachings turned into religion, to know how he felt as he learned of his place in history./me too especially to verify my beliefs B) and if he's not there, well then it was all a lie but until we don't know,noone knows For the whole christianity bit, there is actual textual evidence of the crucifixion in roman records from judea, for that time.

I agree with you that there were made cruel things in past,but don't you think you have to blame some other than god or jesus himself?Isn't it more logical to blame the humans (who obviously didn't get the pointof jesus' message)? yeah well but it's a matter ov beliefsso i won't bother anyone with my thoughts well so much of an intelligent philosophically touched post :innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albareth Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 If it'd be temporary - prehistoric time. Time of the dinosaurs perhaps, aside from the lack of people it'd be perfect, hence the 'temporary' condition. Mortal peril, pure world, beauty and horror - it'd be my habitat of choice, though it might not be so for long due to a sudden death. :D Other than that - for good? The future perhaps... though it doesn't quite sound like my thing - I have a nasty hunch the future might quite possibly be a conservative semi-fascist's idea of heaven - and my idea of hell. The past, perhaps... but the downsides of it would be great as well. Staying right here and now might just be the best plan after all for someone like me...

I'm sure in the not too distant future they will breed a species of pink fluffy rabbits. And perhaps prehistorically you could meet the uber-rabbit of doom. Or are you secretly breeding the pink bunneh at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albareth Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 What?! Who, me?!? I'm not breeding a mutated race of superior pink bunnehs!!! Preposterous! That's so ludicrous I think I might laugh... Haha... ha... ha...... yes, right, well... so allright, you may have a point there... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiade Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 what's with everone wanting to travel through time?? the topic is "if you had the chance..." not "what era would you go back to if you could travel through time." but... i'd probably want to travel through time anyways so... actually, i would pick a really really good friend to go with me, and i would want to become immortal (or invincible or whatever) and witness the future of mankind and the planet earth. ya know, see the next 10,000 years or so. the reason why you'd wanna take a friend is cause you cant get attached to anyone. they're gonna die, unlike you! so i'd take a very good friend. i'd much rather do that than live back in the past.

Fishystick Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I, personally, would learn a lot of smart things in the precense, then I would go back in time to the medieval times and teach alot of people a lot of smart things that we know nowadays(except things that would get me hunted by some catholic king or anything like that), but I would teach them that curing a sickness takes it away.. though I would probably not help evil people.. or maybe the one's that wouldn't be as evil as their fathers.. oh whatever, I would teach people smart things so they would think I was smart, smart don't you think? Edit:Hey, wait a minute! If I could go to two places in time, I would go to Seattle the year of -94 and save Kurt Cobain's life!(I think that courtney killed him, do you?) I mean, who wouldn't?
