ALASKA!!!

Better the Inuits for neighbors than the holy Church!


If you could go back in time to 700 AD Italy, would you rather be tortured and burned by the Inquisition or simply hung outright?

hung!

if you had been in one of the World Trade Towers top floors would you have tried the stairs or jumped?
(getting a little morbid, but it was a real choice)

I would have whipped out my cell phone and credit card and called one of those helicopters that makes runs from JFK to that little Helo FBO on the Hudson River. It might have taken me a long time to pay off, but boy, would I have worked overtime to honor that debt!


If you could go back in time, would you rather have flown with Jimmy Doolittle on that first bombing raid to Tokyo OR flown the Enola Gay over Hiroshima?

doolittle, only because people involved in hiroshima are still freaked over it today.


1911 new york city or mid west, same year.

New York City 1911. I could look up some ancestors. That'd be pretty cool.



The Beatles' first appearance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool (1961) or The Ramones' first appearance at CBGB's in NYC (1974)?

lol. i'm doing the look up ancestors thing right now, confusing because so many use the same names over and over again.

the ramones wow! punk was that early 1974?


meet princess diana 1985 or meet kate middleton 2011

(79pounds, I know what you mean about the ancestor searching, I've been looking up info on ancestors for over 10 years...easier now with more available online but still tough if you don't already have a lot of info to work with in the first place!)

Ok, back to the choices...hmmm...well, I guess I'd have to go with Kate. Pretty much because I was glued to Kate and Wills' wedding coverage but I was too young when Diana married Charles to even remember it so there was less impact there...more of my Diana memories came post '85, so it's a bit of a default choice.


Attend the first Academy Awards ceremony (1929) or the first Grammy Awards ceremony (1959)?

first Grammy Awards ceremony (1959). Afterward, I'd have taken Tony Bennett out for drinks.



Attend the first Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and friends in 1985 or the first american version of Comic Relief with Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal in 1986?

Comic Relief...back in those days they were all still funny...lol

Attend the first Superbowl (In 1967, between The Green Bay Packers and The Kansas City Chiefs) or the first World Series (In 1903, between The Boston Americans and The Pittsburgh Pirates)?

1903 world series, i think everything from the early 1900's is a hoot.


drive a car from 1913 or drive a car from 1935?

Driving a car made in 1935 would be difficult because that was during the Great Depression and cars were not being built because no one could have afforded to buy one. I guess I'll opt for the 1903 model.


If you could go back in time, would you rather stay in the east where it was crowded and oppressively civilized or go west where freedom could be found if one could survive?

I'll go with civilized oppression. At least it came with the "modern" conveniences of the day. And far less dust.



Would you rather go back in time to witness the building of the Great Sphynix of Giza or the Great Wall of China?

Great Sphinx of Giza


If you could go back in time, would you rather live in Renaissance era Italy or Victorian era England?

Good one OldManBear! I'd rather live in Renaissance era Italy. Interesting historical times to say the least.


If you could go back in time, would you rather be one of The Beatles or Elvis?

Elvis

If You could go back in time, would you buy a '58 Ford Edsel or a '57 Chevy?
