Nor did any census require people to return to their place of birth. I wasn't really aiming for historical accuracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that place might be a little crowded with fellow time travellers. Have you read Making History? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scientist finds a way of transporting objects through time, sends the male pill back to the well from which it's guessed that Hitler's dad would have drunk. As a consequence Rudolph Gloder, a much more competent version of Hitler comes to power... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't want to invoke the law of unintended consequences, I don't want to time travel as specified - it's too dangerous. What I'd really like is a 'VR time machine'. You'd enter the room, put the headset on - so far, so Oculus Quest - choose a time and place, and you'd instantly 'be' there and then. But only as an observer, with no ability to interact with people. As far as the people in your target zone are concerned, you're not there at all. But you'd have full sensory perception - 360° vision, touch, taste, smell, hearing. Just imagine, you could witness all the great - and not so great - events of history. Check out this Jesus story once and for all, stand unharmed on the slopes of Etna as Pompeii went under, look over Newton's shoulder as he scribbled his equations, watch Villa win their first FA Cup in 1887. It's be like the ultimate TV documentary streaming channel, but with total immersion. That's what I want. So I wish Elon Musk would stop pissing about with electric spaceships and get on with inventing it. So you would go be a fly on the wall at that Ross McCormack party then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure time travel is ever as simple as killing Hitler , I reckon a world war around that time frame would have been inevitable and whose not to say a few years difference wouldn’t have lead to more destruction and more atomic bombs being used . Tempting as it is to go to September 28th 1066 and somehow sink the Norman fleet , on the basis I’m not changing anything I guess for my 2 days I’d go to the funeral of Khufu and see the great pyramid in all it’s splendour and I’d go back to the Jurassic era and have a day watching dinosaurs , seeing the planet before any human life , would be an amazing thing to observe yeah I’m boring and lacking imagination Pretty sure the dinosaurs would be glad to host you, too.

MNVillan Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 11 hours ago, tonyh29 said: Yeah , I like your idea , I actually thought about the Jesus idea for my post same reason as you but went with dinosaurs in the end , mainly as I don’t think there is any actual evidence Jesus is real and I didn’t want to have wasted a day trip There actually is a good amount of evidence that Jesus existed as a human. Anyone who accepts that Socrates was a real human should also accept that Jesus was. The miracles, son of God, and resurrection, on the other hand, depend on faith.

MNVillan Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I’m torn because on one hand, I’d love to go see so many different historical events. But on the other hand, I could go back in time and tell my old man to invest heavily in Apple or Amazon right before they took off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should make infant nativity plays far more entertaining. Why has noone picked this up? You want to see 4/5 year old children in nipple tassels?! One guy names a fish and we get 30 pages of fish puns, a guy suggests bondage gear on small children and gets away scot-free?! Not on my watch, you bunch of nonces!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your imagination is running away with you. The wise men were bearing gifts not wearing gifts. If they were the wise man bringing gold would look like Mr T. I remember being a cowboy in our school nativity. But that's because I was schooled in Wolverhampton and we could never find 3 wise men or a virgin. 50 years later, I still have no idea what myrh is and I have never come across it in the real world. Although I do have to put on a dressing gown, put a tea towel on my head and pretend to be a shepherd in order to reach orgasm. Nothing weird at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But I suspect you are referring to the local loon who did exactly that. Absolutely true. He was a classic.
