time machine - as tempting as it would be to change certain things that happened in the past, i'm not sure that i would. you do learn from everything - no matter how painful the lessons may be. if anything, i might alter the way i reacted to some situations. maybe that way i would have so many scars to deal with now. besides, i have a horrible memory. so it would be nice to be able to revisit a time and place that you might not be able to remember all that well. on a much less personal note, there's the fact that i love history. it would be amazing to get to visit different eras and experience first hand the various cultures and events you grew up reading about. to go back to the time of the ancient Roman Empire or watch the Egyptians build the pyramids. try to catch Jack the Ripper or visit the wild wild west. to shake hands with Amelia Earhart or to stand on the dock as the Titanic set sail.
now, as for something more realistic ...
screw it, i want a time machine!
you know, there are still Romans in the world ... you don't really need a time machine to visit them.
