- Vosem, on 04/26/2009, -0/+58The only reason I would go back in time would be to give myself a sports almanac.
- verkon, on 04/27/2009, -0/+41Now, if i was George McFly, I would be pissed if my wife had a son that looked JUST LIKE that Calvin Klein I thought was a friend.
- vsujohn2, on 04/26/2009, -1/+37Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?
- Dinsdale77, on 04/26/2009, -1/+33Fry did the nasty in the pasty.
- Aphallatosis, on 04/27/2009, -0/+25What if I already am my own father? If I want to continue to exist I may not have a choice here.
- inactive, on 04/27/2009, -0/+15Ohh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm My Own Grandfather"!
- inactive, on 04/27/2009, -0/+14Looks like somebody accidentally time-traveled into the wrong story.
- ZetaMale, on 04/26/2009, -0/+13And in doing so became a savior of the universe, but said nasty-making was done with his grandmother, against which this article says nothing.
- inactive, on 04/27/2009, -1/+11It's leave, you idiot! Make like a tree, and leave. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!
- v1rotate, on 04/27/2009, -0/+9I'd definitely go to the past... I don't wanna know how much of a loser I am in the future.
- Torx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+9"I'm you're density, i mean, you're destiny." Epic pickup line.
- breckinshire, on 04/27/2009, -0/+9Esperanto is a universal language.
- redwire, on 04/27/2009, -2/+11Here's a plan for the would be time traveller, who wants to get rich assuming you can only go back:
1) Find out next weeks lottery numbers.
2) Tattoo those lottery numbers somewhere on your body along with the date they came up to minimise your chances of losing them or ever forgetting. You know, in case ***** happens.
3) Wait for the technology to be developed to travel back.
4) Profit.
5) Give me a cut. :) - skyjis6, on 04/27/2009, -0/+8They could have just said Oedipus Complex and saved us the 6 paragraphs
- mickaloha, on 04/27/2009, -0/+8That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
- ChromaVita, on 04/27/2009, -2/+9Or could just go to the future and get a sports almanac.
- inactive, on 04/27/2009, -1/+8@dandonia
*whoosh* - BuzzFriendly, on 04/27/2009, -1/+8And do what? You most likely wouldn't be able to speak his language.
- breetah, on 04/27/2009, -0/+7Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip.
- BrownieMix, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6I would never meet my mom because I wouldn't want to be seduced by her like Marty was in Back of the Future.
- overridemymind, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6"It's submarine, you dork"
/watched blu-ray rips of all the back to the future series this weekend. :) - RudeTurnip, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6You can go back into the past, kill all of your ancestors and you would be just fine. When you travel back in time, you're not going back into your own past, you're going into a parallel dimension that is statistically close to your "past." This also means that you can't go back in time with winning lottery numbers because the numbers might not be the same due to shear randomness.
- protogenxl, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains. You are the last hope of the universe.
http://www.gotfuturama.com/Multimedia/EpisodeSound ... - JimmyTheClam, on 04/27/2009, -3/+8Not even a blow job from her just to see what it's like?
\do I even need to tag this one? - dandonia, on 04/27/2009, -0/+5It would be my luck that 6 million people would also have put those exact numbers on the week I did.
- GrooTheWanderer, on 04/27/2009, -1/+6He said get the tickets, not the numbers. You already know the latest winning numbers, so now you go back and place your bet.
- iDVD, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4Or maybe seeing yourself as a loser in the future disheartened you so much that it actually causes you to become the loser in the future.
- foucaultsvac, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4What a jumble of stereotypes that almost resembles a joke.
- andyd273, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4In the spirit of Who's Line: How I met my mother, if you know what I mean.
- foucaultsvac, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4Past nastification!
- alienpopcorn, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4Do it.
- morepowerr, on 04/27/2009, -1/+5Nice to know I am not the only one setting around thing about this stuff.
- inactive, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4You could cause a paradox:
You go back to the past and interact which may change some future event.....Somehow, you were never conceived because of your meddling.....therefore, you were never born, so you couldn't have gone into the past to interact, so it never happened.....<BANG>
Time and space would rip. - sndream, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4" in which the protagonist somehow manages to be both his own mother and his own father due to a lot of relatively convoluted circumstances"
Wow, his genetic disorder must be a 100 times more interesting than Fry's. - Salstar, on 04/27/2009, -3/+6Just pop back for as long as it takes to get the winning tickets in Lotto!
- christoast, on 04/27/2009, -1/+4What? You, from the future would know the lotto numbers for a specific date in the future, you give it to your past self.
Think about what you posted for a few seconds. Or a few minutes. - ChromaVita, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3But (depending on which theory of time travel we're going with) seeing yourself as a loser like that could be just the kick in the pants that you need to make the right decisions and take chances and all that stuff.
- dandonia, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3You wouldn't bump into your future self because you would never go back to be there in the first place. -
Here's the thing, if you could only make one journey then going back would only make it less likely that you would be around when the cure for death is formed. On the other hand you would be like a king for the time you lived because of your knowledge of all to come.
Going forward would seem like an amazing idea because then you are more likely to be around when the cure for death is cheap. But what if you jump forward into a warzone or post apocalyptic world? Then you would regret it big time. - trevordj, on 04/27/2009, -1/+4http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20090324.gif
- Stumbler1210, on 04/27/2009, -4/+7Jesus
If I could travel through time, I'd go see Jesus - plaguepony, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3Legen-
Wait for it
Dary! - Opiate, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3So much bottled up hate, religion is bad for you.
- Sornos, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3One can assume that any past nastification with any direct relative would be bad, regardless of how far back you go.
- s0nicfreak, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2According to my father, my mother was evil bitch even when she was a teenager. Although according to pictures she wasn't as bad looking.
- DesertTripper, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2I'd go back and either establish communication with, or leave a note for, my younger self, outlining every stupid mistake I ever made between then and now.
Of course, if I avoided stupid mistakes A and B in this manner, I'm sure stupid mistakes C and D would more than take their place...
If I could go back in time and not participate (just be an observer), it would be kind of interesting to see what my mom and dad were like before they met, etc.
My idea of "heaven" would be a sort of cosmic Wiki where you could go to any point in the world (hell, since we're talking about about theoreticals here, the universe) and see what was going on. Talk about being the most knowledgeable being in the universe!! (assuming, of course, that one had unlimited memory). Imagine being able to empirically verify all religions, conspiracy theories, etc. - not to mention knowing all the secret lives of anybody you ever knew!
On the other hand, a guy could go completely nuts knowing every nuance about everything and everyone in the universe -- especially if one were to travel to,say, the Killing Fields, the era of Vlad the Impaler, or Nazi Germany, see all the torment going on and know there was nothing one could do about it. - getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2Calvin!
- crowbarred, on 04/27/2009, -1/+3I have ... but it was in the future, don't you remember?
