Time Travel
Wouldn't Time Travel be amazing? Not that crappy Quantum Leap time travel either, I'm talking Doctor Who and Back to the Future. Oh yeah.
The big question is, however, Where would I go and who would I meet? Interesting...
Well, of course there's Guy Fawkes, The 1914 football game between the Allies and Germany, but... then I could always...
a) Meet Ed D. Wood Jr
The king of kitsch, Ed Wood directed some of the cheesiest, campiest movies ever made. Plan 9 from Outer Space and Glen or Glenda, to name a few. It'd be amazing for a geek like me to meet someone like that, just to see how his mind worked. To save money on his films he used friends to fill the spaces of actors, and effects in Plan 9 were almost non-existent -- a ball with paper plates was used for a flying saucer-- he could show the directors nowadays a thing or two.
b) Meet Shakespeare
Just so that I could ask him why he has to make his plays so confusing for GCSE/AS Students. Nothing against Shakespeare, he's a legend of literature, he just is a figure of hate for so many.
c) Go to 1885
For obvious reasons.
d) See what the 80s were like.
and, if John Hughes films and Back to the Future are anything to go by, they were amazing. Specifically, 1984 - There was Thriller, Band Aid, Duran Duran, Sixteen Candles and DYNASTY!
e) Visit Roswell, New Mexico in June/July, 1947
Just to see if it was actually an Alien. We all know the U.S. Government are covering up, I'd put a £100 bet on it.
So, there you go, a few reasons I would like to Time Travel. Of course, it should be noted that allowing me to Time Travel would be almost as foolish as letting George Bush have control of nuclear weapons-- oh, wait, we did that? I'd probably end up either tearing a hole in the Space Time Continuum, or cause my own Grandfather Paradox.
