Sort of lame but I would go back right before the burning of the library of Alexandria. I would try and make an index of the library's collection and then would take as many books/scrolls as I could and hide them somewhere safe. Even if I can't read them myself I just can't imagine how much knowledge was lost at that one instance and how much we could learn about our history if even a fraction was saved.

1. "Hey, you! Gail Berman of FOX, right? Listen, I know I just appeared out of nowhere in the middle of your office, and I know you've got tons of questions, but I want you to hear me out for just two minutes. Just two minutes. Okay, listen closely, I know you've got this Joss Whedon sci-fi show currently in production..."
2. "Hello, Malcolm. Sorry, I came out of nowhere; it's 1965, right? Look, I know you're just about to go on the podium but would you mind doing yourself a favor and put on this bullet-proof vest?"
3. "AA Flight 11 and 77, UA Flight 175 and 93. I've got the seat numbers listed. Make sure you go after Bin Laden, and for god sakes tell the President to stop sh#tting on the Constitution. Good luck."
4. "Abe, GET DOWN."
5. "'fucking Christ. My god, it all makes sense."

Since I'm too scared of the butterfly effect I'd save my time travel opportunity to use within the space of a single day - probably rewind a few hours before my untimely death. Except maybe I get too impatient because it's not like I live dangerously every day, and so I squander my time travel shot on rewinding an argument with my girlfriend, back to before I said "that one thing".
Alternatively I would go back to 1912 and mess around with Titanic so it doesn't set sail... but then who would win Best Picture in 1996???

I would travel back to alter my past abit but nothing too major (I hoped).
It would either trying to convince my past self to get a summer job much to his dismay which the alter thing would be me missing out ob watching War of the World and Batman Begin (I think, so knows if I still able to watch it while having a summer job).
Also I would tell him to not trim his toenail too much and keep it straight, not round! My warming should had prevented me from having ingrowing toenails problem which the alter time would simply be without annoyances (I had to skip some class to put new dressing on my toes in hospital) and would continue to take part in P.E lesson (I skip most of it cos of my toes).

Haven't any of you played Red Alert, don't you know what happens if you killed Hitler, Stalin will take over da WORLD SOONASmeggs said:
Although the concept of fathering Adolf Hitler is quite funny, give the lil basterd a slap if he mentions any anti-semitic things or ideas of world domination
Travel Back in time and set Up a religion in my name and say to stay in shadows and gain power and wealth until today and then come find me I will then rule the world
I'd travel to right now, slap myself around for a bit, and tell myself to come up with something better.
I've thought about this before, and I decided that if the opportunity ever came up, I'd go back to woodstock and catch this guitar:
:O Same time period as me, but i'd try to bang Cleopatra, not as noble as yourself though.If that went well i'd give her the throne without Caesar's help, and then at some point with my extremely (relatively to the time) good education i'd build a huge empire, and I might not come back.gritch said:
But that's only assuming the time machine gives me TARDIS abilities so I can converse with the locals. If not, last week, lottery numbers.
