Here's an important twist: Are you allowed to come back, or is this a one-way trip?
Would be interesting to see how people's answer would be different if that condition was introduced. I'd bet most people would think a lot harder about that choice, and that some would prefer not to go anywhere at all, despite what they think about their current circumstances...

Once you have established time travel as possible why would you limit yourself to one time/place only?
Of course, the first time/place I would visit is to be in Hitler's bunker when he takes the poison and then follow his body out to when it was burned. I haven't had a good belly laugh for a long time.

Apparently he didn't die and is currently living in a secret nazi base on the far side of the moon - along with Elvis.

I thought he moved to South Carolina and became a greeter at a Wal-Mart. (There were too many Jewish people in Miami.)

No particular order:
- October 11, 1492 to watch the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria before they step foot on Guanahani.
- Febuary 07, 2862 to lobby the world government to remove the temporal non-interference treaty and extend coverage down to 2000.
- III Akhet 8, I'd go and watch the construction work on the Great Pyramid of Cheops as it's being renovated by Khufu.
- July 20, 1969 to watch Neil Armstrong step on the moon.

Hmmm, I dunno it consumes alot of energy to remain into 3-space for an extended period of time. The good news is that they are only expecting 150,000 people to attend the festival. Maybe we can find a parking spot.
July 21, 1969 Bethel, New York

Yes, the broadcast was interesting to see. But there is probably a much better view when looking from the edge of the crater 190 meters away from the landing site.

Day early, mate. He didn't step out until the 21st (UTC, anyway). You've got a time machine, and you're wasting time??

Well,

Yes, about eight hours early I believe. Front row seats at the rim of the crater are expensive and it takes a while to coordinate the 700nm viewing ports so all 65,535 viewers get an unobstructed view. Besides, everyone wants to see them land too.

- Future to the year 802,701 to see Eloi and Morlocks, as told in The Time Machine.
- Back 5000 years, to see Lord Krishna tell the Bhagavad Geetha.

What kind of time travel? The one from back to the future or the one from hot tub time machine? Meaning are we talking branching time lines here or one self-coherent spacetime?

If you know the novel/movie "Time Machine", then you know why it's not a good idea to travel into the future: You will not feel at home in your original time frame any more, and the future will become your present. I know, quoting R. Kelly has become politically incorrect recently, but he puts like this, and I totally agree:
"I wanna have to find my way, and I don't wanna have a clue. Just let the universe surprise me"
So my only option would be to travel into the past. What I'd definitely like to see the most are dinosaurs. My favorite time would be the Jurassic period, as the Cretaceous period with its T-Rex and Velociraptor is too mainstream for me. I'd prefer to see the Brontosaurus, the Allosaurus, the Stegosaurus, the Diplodocus and the Archaeopteryx.

Pity about the invisible observer bit. I'd like to go back to the library at Alexandria and save the lot.

Hi All,
Got to work late, sat down and am thinking about how to account for this. Being a dozy so & so I tend to fill in my timesheet early and put 8 hours for today, so do I do 8 hours today or 6 today and then 2 extra next week? or do I wait for the time when I have mucho work to do and just put in the time then and not claim over time? Trying to be honest about this! Opinions please, waste the time I owe or save it for the rush I can see coming (when I could accrue overtime)...
