Blue or Red? Oh blue definitely, with all my knowledge of the future (i'm following the Hitchhikers version where nothing changes or is changeable) think of the power i could gain! Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

I would go forward about 50 years hoping for a cure to prevent spina bifida and then go back to nine months before I was born and give it to my mother.

I think some over in politics have taken both :-))) Then we must make available a purple pill for those that can not decide on the red or blue pill |

$50,000 each, pre-owned? Something in that ballpark, and mostly refurbished. If I had the dough to throw around, I'd get one. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Ok this car talk has convinced me that going back two days to win the mega millions Is just a teaser. I would go back to 1967 and buy a Pontiac GTO and not drive it untill I rewon the mega millions:) [/quote] Old James |

Ok this car talk has convinced me that going back two days to win the mega millions Is just a teaser. I would go back to 1967 and buy a Pontiac GTO and not drive it until I rewon the mega millions:) But in order to "buy" the 1967 GTO in 1967; before you take the trip, you would need to exchange your current currency for that of 1960's money. I don't believe they would take today's currency in 1967... They might arrest you for counterfeiting; and call you a poor counterfeiter with that awful looking monopoly money that we use today. I would think it pretty difficult to get your hands on any dollar currency from the 1960's, today; but - good luck. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

Buy gold today, take it with you to 1967, sell for cash. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Buy gold today, take it with you to 1967, sell for cash. Aren't gold coins and bars date-stamped and/or serialized? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Minor point. It was illegal to own most gold in 1967 thanks to FDR. If you wanted to take it back in time it would have to be in some form of art and you might not get over $35 per ounce (the fixed price). Platinum or gem stones might be a better option. |
