time travel abuse

[SatansLeftHand]

just an idea i had. think up ways to misuse time travel devices!

the one that leaps to mind immediately for me is that thing domino's used to have where you were supposed to get your pizza in 30 minutes or less. just think, they could suddenly experience a weird rash of incidents involving spike strips, say around 1989 or so.

or you could arrange an interesting interlude that approximates a threesome, but with only two people involved. not sure just how well that might work though. :/

Dude, I think you ate too much aluminum or sommat. :p

[Billyman]

Hmmm, the stock market, the stock market and the stock market.

Oh, and nothing like some horse betting along the way too.

[Pianomahnn]

No, no, no, billy.

Win the lotto and THEN the stockmarket. It's much easier to make more money with 50million than 50,000. :)

Now, since we're talking about ABUSING this time travel, we need to do certain things which without a doubt would wreak havoc on the current state of the world. The killing a few well known dicators and general madmen would certainly change the world as it is known.

I'd like to think the removal of Charles Babbage would do some damage as well.

Hmmmm. . . change course just a tad bit on the Titanic.

Release a nasty virus/bacteria into prehistoric planet earth and watch bad stuff happen.

Yup. Breakage.

[Escape Artist]

You don't necessarily have to go in the past to release a nice virus and wipe everything out, Pianomahnn. :p

As for wreaking havoc, fuck that shit above - kill every well known and imaginative inventor from the 1700's to the 1900's, and throw the world back into pre-industrial days for a couple centuries.

Too much work, EA. 2 men is all that's needed: Aristotle, and Sir Francis Bacon.

Human-hunting is never work. :p

[mute]

I'd kill Jesus.

[Escape Artist]

Good - he was a terrorist.

[SatansLeftHand]

oh for fuck's sake. everyone thinks of the lottery and stock market and killing people. i want to hear the occasional bizarre shit like those two in my first post. essentially juvenile pranks, but with a time machine to help out.

[mute]

I'd probably stalk some girl, but use the time machine as my loop hole with the cops. "How was I stalking if I was there first?"

Add day- glo -green-glow in the dark dye to the primordial soup.

I'd go back and kill the bitch who invented white-out (just to fuck up the pre-PC era of office tasks)

then I'd go back and push christopher reeves off his horse BEFORE superman II

then I'd make sure napolean won at waterloo

I DAMN SURE wouldn't watch "even cowgirls get the blues" given a second chance

but my REAL goal is to go back and stop every lottery winner inhistory from purchasing their ticket

that'd be cool

[Mudflap]

I'd go back about 25 years and put a flourescent bulb in my sister's Easy Bake Oven.

[simiantics]

Replace every "shalt not" (or synonamous term) with "must... on penalty of eternal damnation."

Claim every Guiness World record set by some untalented hack who basically was the first to do something that either nobody else thought to do, or nobody else was dumb enough to claim as a record.

Obviously use it to pick up chicks à la "Groundhog Day."

Most importantly, I'd never have to do laundry again. I could just go backin time to when the clothes were clean, and steal them from me.
