if you got a hold of a time machine, what would you do?

Speaking of time paradox...  my wife and I always get into a huge argument after watching 12 Monkeys...   :dizzy:

Le Chuck:
So to avoid paradoxical physics and splitting realities by doing something of value when given a time machine one should just go lay on a beach, but of course one would need to take money for all the rum runners and mai-tais so one would need a job to support the universe saving hedonistic time travel, but if one went every morning for a few hours before work, besides reducing one's lifespan in this age one would be broke by lunch... with a great tan. So really one would be forced to time travel about once a year, maybe for a few weeks.  Possibly to Majorica where it's nice... I bet people would really look forward to that kind of time travel.  They'd probably forgo the timemachine and just take a vacation.  Damn you paradoxes... making time travel worthless. 

Anybody ever read Heinlien's All You Zombies?  Pretty good for '58.  A great exploration of Paradoxes.

In any case. Time travel, space travel, mind travel.

Or in question format: Do you want to be immortal, invulnerable, and omniscient?

I'm not sure how space travel has to do with invulnerability but...

I intened to live forever so I've got that one covered.  Even if I die I'll just beat the reaper at a wicked game of twister and get to come back. 

I'm pretty sure that if you are immortal you are also invulnerable.  People throw around that term too loosely.  Example:  Vampires are NOT immortal becuase you can kill them.  They don't age but they aren't free from death and therefore are not immortal.  Regardless I can't be killed by conventional methods, so that's good enough for me. 

Omnisence.... hmm.... well I don't know everything but really I just have to know more than the people around me to get that superior feeling flowing.  Thankfully, I'm constantly surrounded by morons.  ;)
