If you could go back in history...

I was having a conversation with one of my best friends last week, and the topic of ‘If you could go back in time, what are the three places you’d go, and why?’.

Of course, my first thought was ‘Hmm – who would I assassinate?’, which I was talked out of by my much sweeter and intelligent friend.

So, Polsters, where would it be?  This could be political in nature, and we’re all just so interesting I thought it would be cool to see what you all come up with.  There are some obvious ones like the birth/death/resurrection, D Day, NYC to see Andy Kauffman perform live….

To start us off…

1. I’d go back to see Caesar returning to Rome.  I just think that’s such an amazing piece of history to be able to witness.  

2. Belize around the time of Christ when the Mayans were thriving.  It’s such a beautiful place and the ruins are just spectacular.

3. I’d go find Nikolai Tesla, just to witness some of the amazing demonstrations he put on, and to steal some of his technology to use at a huge multinational corporation I’d start up to be part of the MIC and….  Ok, ok.  Just kidding.  But I would go find Tesla.

How about it, you interesting people?
