if you were to travel with the doctor...where would you go?

O.k. if you did have a chance to travel in time and space-
where would you want to go?

here are my odd choices:
Meet Monet, Davinci and Michelangelo
go shopping at marshall fields in 1920
see secretariat win the triple crown
go to ancient egypt
explore victorian england
eat at the now gone krispy creme on rte 41
buy a bunch of jawas (o.k. I am a geek)
explore ancient rome

well personally, i'd want to go back to 1997 and re-create my life. lol

1894...Tesla's display of the radio.

I would like to go back to London in the 1960s an 1970s to visit the BBC and convince them NOT to wipe blank episodes of classic Doctor Who.

I would go back and make sure my parents never met.

Mr. Hoosier-then you would not exist and the world would be a sad place without hwhovian.

dalek prototype... I so agree with that!!!!!!!!

My mother would have lived the life she was supposed to. Meeting my father was an accident on her part, she was supposed to be going somewhere at the time she met him.

I would merely be a slightly different person.

Does no one want to travel to the future?

Take me ahead a few hundred years so I can see if I can finally buy a blasted Hoverboard!

Go back to tell myself 15 years ago that when the hotest girl you work with ask you if you want to go out......SAY YES!!!

And maybe go back to July 20, 1944 and tell Von Stauffenberg to put BOTH bombs in his bag and put it behind Hitler...not under the table! (Just saw Valkyrie)

I like the BBC video tape idea too.....

Go back and meet Walt Disney. Also see if he would let me buy some cheap swampland.

No No No, you have it wrong LEM.. YOU buy the swampland, or at the very least, buy enough in the middle of what ole Walt Elias Disney wants, and then you hold his feet to the fire. Maybe buy up what would make Adventureland.

Ronpur, if Hitler died any earlier than he did, supposedly, We would all be speaking Russian right now. The commies would have made a VERY successful surge into Germany ahead of the Allies and history would have been changed, and not for the better. This is based on a "what if" scenario posited regarding getting rid of ole Adolf.

Making History isnt as simple as making a playdough person.

Well, I suppose we will never know, but thats why we leave the Time Lords in charge of those things! Until then, I can read Harry Turtledove books.

Ancient Greece would be first on my list. Then it would be off to the future!

Is this a Stephen Fry reference? He wrote an interesting novel named "Making History" about a holocaust survivor who succeeds in stopping Hitler only to find that the world turned out worse in the end.

A pretty fun book if you can deal with the random gay twist that Fry throws in at the end.

No it isnt, but I do think he is funny as a brit!

Actually there is a chunk of Land within Disney property that is not owned by Disney.
Being a big Disney fan, I would much rather be a part of it rather than try to usurp Walt. Besides they never bought that real-life chunk, so it's just to much work to try and be devious. Besides and this could probaly start a thread elsewhere.
Is it okay to use time-travel to say go back in time and use winning lottery numbers, foreknowledge of land purchases, etc for personal gain???
Somehow it seems like cheating, like using your 1st of 3 wishes to wish for a 1000 more wishes. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

One word - MINYOS!

Or I will take a quote, "With great power, comes great responsibility"

what a great question.
Early 1950's to daytona beach to see the birth of Nascar. To watch the races on the beach

drwhovian10-nice avatar...
nascar...those early races would have been a whole lot cheaper back then...more about the raw power of these custom built cars than about sponsors n' stickers galore. Safety??? Seatbelts???
That would be fun to watch...and of course see the nascar of the future...

greenk9
thank you, i like your avatar as well

future nascar? 300 bucks a ticket?
chicago is 195, its crazy

Nascar with Hybrids, HAHAHAHAHA that is what will happen if the new administration gets its way.

Not a NASCAR fan, but hey, we all have our fun outlets.

in stead of coming into the pits for fuel, they come in for a battery recharge LOL

they could have flying nascars in new new new...york

oooo
i'd hate to be a fan in the stands during a wreck. heads up!!!!

the vitex 500
at the new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new york motor Skyway

of course I would like to go anywhere but earth for a while... see a few alien planets- something the poor doc does not seem to do much of lately.

I'd like to go to the planet of lost things... where I can find my keys, lost pens, checks, old friends...find my mind again....
