If I had a time machine, I'd go back a couple of minuites and stop you posting this thread :p
Seriously, I'd go back to 1969 and see Woodstock. Because it rocked.

I would go back to when these forums started, post this thread, come back, and then yell at you for not searching for this :rolleyes:

1955, and check out why its such an important year, well according to doc brown anyway!
I'd go back to the fifties and kill my father while he was a child.
Just think of the beatiful little tear I could make in the fabric of time and space.

I would go back and stop the machine ever being built, because time travel always leads to trouble.

I'd stop Elvis from getting fat so that he doesn't die
I'd visit P.T.Barnum, and then get him to accidentally kill himself, and then go back in time and warn him
Create this thread and yell at you all, and then hate Fade_Away for doing it first, so therefore I would go back in time and do it before Fade_Away so that he would get banned, and then get banned myself so that I could go back in time and warn myself
Go back to 1984 and rebel!

That wouldn't work.
You go back in a time machine destroy the first one and stuff then you come back but then you have one.
It will get all messed up even if you did get rid of the one you ended up with.
I would dump some wepons of mass destruction on the dinosauras.

I like to confuse people :)
Would anybody want to go back in time and make the movie "Spiders" for me?
I'd wait until all the Harry Potter books had been released, go back in time and take the full series with me, re-write them under my own name, and voila!

Someone go back in time and stop the universe from being created, and then go further back in time and create it yourself. :)

1, I'd note the last few lottery jackpot numbers down and post them to myself.
2, Quit my job, buy a huuuuge house in some really, really, really posh residential area.. then turn it into a homeless shelter.
3, With the money from 1 i'd buy loads of spy equipment and go back in time to be there when famous sightings of Bigfoot/Nessie and UFO have been recorded.. just to see for myself.
4, Be at the last supper, buy Jesus a pint.

I would just kill the teacher who invented English beyond primary school. English is teh pointless. If you can read, write, spell and punctuate, you're fine. You really don't need to be able to annotate plays, stories, poems...

I would go back to 9th July 1956, because everytime my old mac's clock battery runs out, thats the date it reverts to. I wanna know what was so special about 9th July 1956!

I'd pick up my gun and go back for some velociraptor hunting! Lets see how long I last!
Actually, I'd get a gun and go back to the stone age, kill the human leader, make the others worship the number 42, and go back to now and look at how different the world was.*
*Excuse my obsessive Hitchhikers Guide quotes in all my posts, it's just that I read all 4 books in the trilogy in one night. It messes up your brain.

Albie, you must have used a time machine to go back about 5 hours quite a few times to finish it in one night. Well I would have needed to, that's what I would to with the time machine. What I really would do is copy other people's suggestions from this thread and go back in time and christen all legendary people with my name so I could brag to my friends about how I'm so famous for not doing anything good.
I'd pack loads of gadgets and go back in time and pretend to be Jesus. Walk on water. Bah, hey look I've got HalfLife 2 and a laptop with a spare battery, yea baby, now who can perform miracles!!! I'd also go and do some cave paintings of weebl and bob. We'll see what or scientists make of that.

I'd go back in time and create Yesterday Mail.
If you give me the letter you want to send, I guarantee that the person you're sending it to recieves it the day before you actually send it.
And I'd do it before Illwillpress creates the Neurotically Yours episode of the same idea.

Go back in time and ask Elvis for a new car.
Give Matt Groening the idea for The Simpsons, and then sue him later.
Hope Bill Gates asks you to invest with him, and say yes!!

I would go back to when everyone had weapons, take some, go forward thousands of years into the future when people have more money and go and 1. rob a bank and 2. rob the world's richest man and spend all the money!
Back in 2005...

first i'd figure out how bill gates and donald trump did what they did and then do it before them. create the first PC, stop george bush from becoming pres, create star wars, and be the leading pioneer in the field of CGI. then with all that money i'd build another time machine and then i'd build a factory like the one in the new charlie and the chocolate factory.

i wouldnt trust myslef with it, it would most likely start with getting the newspaper reading it then going back so i had the money, then slowly into giving my enemies horrible disease from birth, then into killing them, before you know it id do something which destroys the world, or makes me never have been born.
but anyway id probably go back to august 22nd 2154AD....

I would go back in time with an invention, one thats well known and such, and then claim it as my own! take copy rigth and stuff, then i make loads of money! that would be sweet...
I also would go see what would happend to me in the future(if i didnt go back in time with invention)....

I'd go back to the ancient library in Alexandria (i think that is how you spell it...) and take as much written knowledge back with me.
yep, nothing like knowing how they built the Pyramids and all.
...hey, it burnt down anyway, so nobody was going to need it. It would be the perfect get away. There would be no tears in time and no disruption to the future, because it was all lost in the fire! unless i started the fire, due to some glitch in the time machine, or something....
brilliant. absolutely brilliant. man, i gotta love myself just that little bit more for that one! :cool:

In my view, time travel wouldn't work like that, you may be able to travel backwards in time, by a mere 1/(infinity), but returning to when, where and what (parallel universes) you came is harder.
1/(infinity(time travel))x(infinity^3(space is infinite(XYZ)))x(infinity(time is infinite))x(infinity(multiverse is infinite))
So that's 1/(infinity)^6
Parallel universes are the only ways for time travel to exist without causing us mere three-dimensional beings to be unaware of anything, due to history being rewritten constantly.
Of course, if I could do anything, I'd make sure us brits win the war of independence thus securing the continuity of the british empire. Of course, I may just travel to a time where age/death/etc are no longer factors.
Maybe I should stop thinking so much.

I'd travel way into the future, where probably scientists would have found a way to live eternally, and i'd eternalize all my friends and stuff.
Also i'd go back in time millions of years, and throw alot of dead animal stuffs beneath a layer of impermeable rock so oil and natural gas would form, and then i'd go there, and extract the oil and make myself fuckin' rich! Also, i'd find a way to make anime girls real and sexx0rz them up

Probably have to go back and stop Argh from buggering time itself.
Failing that I'd probably have to shuffle off to Roswell, the kennedy assisnation, the "death" of elvis and all the other groovy stuff that I'd need to see for myself to prove personal theories wrong.
