Ok, here is a question:

If you had only 1 choice, would you:

1. Be able to time travel for 1 week

2. Be Invisible, and anything you touch becomes invisible until you release it. (for 1 week)- invisibility can be controled as well.

3. Have 1 week to spend 1 million bucks
----------------------------------

My choice is Time travel, I'd jump 50 years into the future, and buy a sports book (like in Back to the future 2) and when I got back, be rich, and bring back cures for Cancer, aids, and other stuff that was cured..

Also, I'd go to 1952 to watch a real baseball game (and get some 1952 topps baseball cards)


And you? -- Kind of a hard choice huh?

I would agree with time travel.....although my interest will be more into stock prices and trends......(green eye monster appearing inside my mind again).

Ziroc, what if 50 years into the future there was thermonuclear war and the entire earth was irradiated (sorry been playing too much Red Alert 2)

I would probably time travel back in time, I just finished reading Michael Crichton's Timeline and I thought it was brilliant, though the quantum theory stuff kind of lost me at times (no pun intended! )

Hmm, i would timetravel to a time long ago and buy cheap stocks that are high like hell today and be a millionaire ones i come back.
i would also go back in time and advice myself not to do certain stupid things and well see what would happen..

Hmmm...Time Travel too, but not for money. I would remove a few people from history and push inventions that would help the world....and probly use today's tech to found a small country.

I would personally like to take the mill and have some fun with all my friends. Have a party and fly all of you to it. Buy some large CDs/Bonds for future kid's college funds. Buy the rights to the Tech behind BGII and make BGIII. It sure would be a fun week. But the other choices could be just a fun.

Show me the money, baby!!!

I'd take the million, buy a nice house, a car or two, and buy tickets for an overseas trip!

Wow, Ziroc, pretty interesting!

Hmmm, well, I think I'd take the time travel and go back in time. I'd love to see Rome in it's heyday, Athens when the Parthenon was new, Egypt as the Sphinx was built, Medieval England, the building of Stonehenge, Renaissance Italy, ....oh, gee, Ziroc, could I have more than a week? Pretty please? I'd still want time to talk to Xerxes, Diogenes, and Caesar. To swap stories with Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen and be there for the signing of the Magna Carta. Just a little more time? hmmm? (giggle) Heck, it's not so much to ask! After all, I'd be giving up a million bucks!
Oh gosh, I had to modify! I forgot- I would need at least a month to visit THE BARD - Willam Shakespeare!

I'll take the time travel forward please. Why? Because I want to see it! I want to see what we have up in space(MOON/MARS!!!), whats new at WalMart(haha), just everything. Plus catching up on 50 years of history will keep me busy of course.No need to send me back, I'll survive. Been dead-broke before, can do it again
