... a time machine?

Me, I think Id take technology back in time, then come back and forth and do it over and over until we were super-intelligent people... if thats possible... (In theory it wouldnt be, technically you might not even be able to travel back past the time you were born.)

I would go back to yesterday, at around 2PM, and not pick my nose at the red light while that really good looking girl was looking at me.

I would kill my mother, and then the universe would explode.

I'd go back to 1955 and stop my parents from falling in love
Wait, that wouldn't be a very good idea, would it?

Actually, I'd go back a year and relive my computer programming class (or zoom 4-6 weeks into the future to get to my next one NOW)

I like the Greg Dean idea. Real Life all the way. I'd go back in time and set all my friend's clocks forward 20 minutes in the middle of the night, then go back to the future (mwahahaha) and see if they're still waking up 20 minutes early every day. EVILNESS!!!

If I had a time machine, I would destroy it. Man should not have such technology.

...but before that, I'd like to see Jesus. Though I suppose I'd have to learn Aramaic first, and, like, get a tan or something...

Ah what the hell? Why stop with Jesus -- I'd chat a bit with Moses and Muhammad and Buhdda.... hmm... yes, good thing I have a time machine, or I might be spending a lot of time talking to these guys

Maybe Jesus was really a guy with a time machine!

------------------
Do you have stairs in your house?

Yes, go back in time to meet Jesus... only to find YOU'RE suppose to be Jesus! Duh duh duuuuuuuuuh!

Sadly, that thought has come across my mind more than once. How egotistical of me.

If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and stop myself from going back in time!

Go back to 1955, save my dad's life and have my mother fall in love with me instead of him, and force them back together by playing guitar at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, while dumping manure on the evil school bully.

That sounds an awful lot like the plot of a movie I saw the other day...

I would systematically track all of you down and destroy your time machines, thus trapping you in the past.

Great Idea!!!

Meh, I dont know. Ive spent wayyy too much time thinking about time travel for me to even want to consider trying to answer this question (for fear of falling into that downwarn sprial...)

Maybe I would travel to the future, just 10 years or so, just to see where Im going. Then maybe Id travel to the far, far distant future, to a time when man had solved the 5 basic questions (in a few billio years, perhaps?)... Bah.

...Actually, Ive been trying to write a scifi novel for years that revolves around a guy thats been "unhooked" from the regular flow of time, so he just kinda jumps around from one time to another, one place to another, future, past, present. But he can never change the past, only the future.... Bah, I need a life.

[Yeah, Id help Mada, of course. And my uncle. . . and a few others Ive lost over the years. ]

Fight the future.

I have also spent way too much time thinking about time travel.
I have theorized that the further back you go, the more impossible it becomes to do it, therefor you couldn't.

If you could go back to the day you were concieved, it's highly unlikely that you would interupt your conception (unless that was your plan).
If you were to go back to 10 years before you were concieved it's more likely that you will effect the events leading to your conception and making it more possible that you wouldn't be concieved.
If you were to go back to 1000 years before your conception, again it would be many times more likeley that you would effect the timeline and events to negate your conception.
There would be a point in backwards time travel that would be impossible for you to travel to because your mere precense would disrupt all interaction leading to your conception therefor you won't exist and therefor you couldn't travel back, so when you push the button to travel back, nothing would happen.

Your interuption of the timeline and the events leading to your conception would have a cascading effect over time. It would just depend on who and/or what you interacted with when and where you went back.
