You can go back in time, what would you do?

My first thoughts were "Kill myself! See what happens!", but now that I think about it that's really not too smart...
Kill Jesus... or... at very least the true founder of Christianity (I get the sudden feeling his name is "Bert"). If my calculations are correct, this will set in motion a chain of events that will drastically alter the modern day. Then I'd come back.
It's not that I want to alter the present in any particular way, I just want to do it for fun, see what happens.
Why Christians? Why not? I mean, I personally believe that all monotheistic religion exist only to cause suffering to others (I mean, you never hear of Hindus or Druids committing war crimes, do you?), I'd go after Judaism, because they pretty much started the whole thing, but there's no real time and place in their holy book for when it all took off, not one that can be easily converted into a modern timeframe, anyway.

ut stocks in Microsoft, Nintendo,yahoo etc
Sure, why not. I have dibs on either Crono or Frog. Maybe Merle if I have to be.werewolfsfury said:
I'd like to stop major events from happening, but I think that would either alter time or I would be the cause of it somehow. So, I would just go back in time and "borrow" alot of older/rarer games. Maybe even open a bank account and let it gain interest over many years so I'd be rich in the future.
If I could get away with it though (without any major ramifications), I would like to prove evolution is real and Dinosaurs really existed plus I would rewrite a few particular entries in the bible. Or assassinate several key figures in history. I'd also like to see if aliens had any true involvement in history.
Though, I would probably just get pissed off about something and start killing everyone lol or lose interest and go scare me some pilgrims

silly: invent viagra and twitter and then figure out a way to combine the two (Twittagra).
cookies for those who know where that came from.
Serious: buy an eight-shot revolver and go throughout history, offing douchebags, like the usuals (Hitler, Stalin, Kim-Jong Il), the not-so usual (Fuck Walt Disney, Fuck Andrew Jackson, and Fuck The G-man who thought it was a good idea to train middle eastern countries on how to treat dissenters with CIA torture techniques), and my personals (Reagon, Dick Clark). Aside from that, devote my life to spreading the principles of various philosophies and Humanism throughout history and time, in hopes of creating a sense of responsibility in humanity rather than justifying murder with religion.
Oh and clean up or convince otherwise all those great musicians and people that OD'd or blew their brains out.

I'd go back to be Tesla's apprentice. He wasn't very good with the taking of notes, and so there's plenty he's done with electricity that we still can't. The ability to power lights, etc. miles away without wires seems quite useful.
Scratch that, given time travel, I probably am Tesla.

Serious-Spend years studying the development of life on our planet and them bring irrefutable video proof of evolution.
Not serious-Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, of course!

If there is no chance of a time-paradox? Fix every stupid thing I've done in my life. Because messing with large events of the past will have severe effects on the present, whereas this will only change my life and a few people around me.
I'd punch my past self in the face, and tell him to start writing everything the fuck down that relates to the stories that float around in my head... And another punch for not reading the hints from that girl in my class... and a kick to the face for teasing my dog... Lastly make sure my family buys a house over a car, that way I'd have a home instead of a studio...
Seriously? I'd see Pink Floyd live. I have no desire to fix all the mistakes I've made in the past, or make my life better. What happened, happened, and I'm not entirely sorry that my life hasn't been fine and dandy through and through. I might kill L Ron Hubbard, though. He was a bit of a dick.
