I would travel back to dates of infamous getbig events like Chick room 7 mirage ice machine, Tom Prince brown bag, etc and report back which ones are true and which are made up.

Why is it when people time travel in movies they always end up in a different part of the world as well? Wouldn't you just change time but still be in the same spot? yet people end up in old england, or somewhere in germany or shit like that. it is time travel, not transport.

Queue pedantic "explanation": "Ahh, but you see, the earth rotates and so one "appears" on a different spot: the spot that was under their feet at the time when the earth was there."

Then queue pedantic "objection": "Ahh, but then what happens if you just "appear" inside Mount Everest? And don't you also have to take into account earth's position in the solar system so that you don't appear in the middle of interstellar space?"

Then queue the more pedantic "answer": "Duh! That is dealt with by using the Laforge-Scott compensator! Everyone knows that. You are just showing the depths of your ignorance! In episode 18 of season 4, this is clearly explained by Captain Laforge before he takes the Enterprise through a temporal inversion in an attempt to prevent the Borg Continuum from exterminating humanity by castrating Captain Kirk!"

Again, an "objection": "What? Come on... that's totally not cannon. The events in 'ALFBTSP' have been shown to be non-cannon. Besides, Laforge says that the compensator would require 445 Jibajabs of Exoteron radiation and we know from episode 16 that the warp engines can only produce 440!"

And on and on and on...

To go anywhere backwards in time would suck big time, you think it wouldn't but it would. Imagine a world without internet cell phone, video games. Not a big deal right?

Let's go back further....How about No tv no phones or airplanes? .... even further imagine horse and bugy....

How about sharing the container of water everyone in the village gathers from and only showering once a week. How about mandatory battlefield laws, I mean not mandatory military training, I mean you have to fight in one battle minimum.

How about being forced to watch Public executions; eyes get poked out, ears ripped off, hands and feet cut off, how about watching someone get a poll shoved up their ass till it came out their mouth. how about watching children aged 6-10 get buried alive.

Let's go back even further when you had to hunt your own food and people ate humans just as much as they ate animals.

No thanks, I like it right here just fine.

Probably the history channel. I saw some gruesome stuff when I watched Henry the 8th "The Tudors". I felt sick in my stomach when he had two men executed, it was so gross and would have been an incredibly painful death.

I study history, have done so for 15 years, more specifically ancient warfare. But yes historical films are the bomb, I don't miss any of them, love them. King Arthur is my favorite

Brave heart is a good movie. In real though warriors where monsters, 7 footers with behemoth strength. Tactical fighters on the battle field where smaller.

Yes that is what I am saying, these objects these men carried where monstrous and took some serious power to swing. William was a beast 7 footer and probably 400lb. Wow, I would love to go there bro. Did you go there and see it?, very interesting.

Scotland is definitely one place on my list 'to go places'

I grew up there. Stirling has great History. Stirling Castle too, still the HQ of the Argyll and Southern Highlanders.. although they merged into the "Royal Regiment of Scotland" very sad because i believe they have now only some for ceremonial purposes. Bannockburn is near Stirling another famouse Battle site.

I'd love to go back to the crusades, either around 1100 or around the 9th Crusade at 1270 if i could bring one item/vehicle.

That's why these guys are legendary. They don't dominate being 5'1", guys like Gengis Khan were animals. They are abnormal beasts. Now guys like Napolean and Hitler were little shits and let others do the fighting for them.

My eyesight is so poor, I would be dead inside a week if I chose to live in an era that I find both romantic and adventurous in nature. What I need is a time machine to take me forward so that I can get my eyes fixed properly. Current methods are not up to that task.

All that aside, I would only go back in time if I could remain aware of history. I would definitely require a "babelfish" for this as I speak only English.

AHAHAH I was thinking the exact same thing as I also wear glasses!

You really think William Wallace was 7 feet tall, and weighed 400 pounds? You retarded?
