And to add a note......my inspiration for this thread (besides the concert thread).....I was going through an album of photos my grandfather put together from his time in WW2.
He chronicled his journey (with many pictures) from Africa....up into Europe through the last days of the war. He was there, in Milan, the day Mussolini was hung. (and ironically, he told the story that that day was one of the only days he didnt have his camera with him) In the journal, he has a really cool photo of Sinatra entertaining the troops. I think of many of those photos - and the journey and things that he saw (both amazing and horrifying I'm sure)......and I cant think of anything remotely similar (similar, in historic anyways) that I have witnessed live (outside of "live" television). Anyways...that was the inspiration. Lots of great ideas have been submitted!

I'd like to go back in time and talk to Nikola Tesla, and have him NOT give up his royalties to Westinghouse... then, he could have funded the wireless electricity project on his own, without having to rely on JP Morgan funds. Morgan burned down his lab once he realized that Tesla wanted to give electricity away for FREE to everyone.

The first Thanksgiving. I'd like to see the feast and be partaking the food.
I'd like to sit in with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Also witness the greatest escape artist Harry Houdini. Watch the real battle of 300 Spartans vs Persians. I'd like to go back and witness the sexy Cleopatra become the last Pharaoh of Egypt. |

Maybe the coolest person in America history to watch would be Benjamin Franklin. The guy was a real ladies man and was charismatic and had to be fun to be around.
So seeing Ben Franklin do some inventing or charming the ladies. I think he was the original Ron Jeremy. He was a diplomat and help get this country started. How did this short quirky balding guy do it? |

Julius Caesar's assasination probably. Trial of Socrates. Maybe Joe Carter's walkoff HR to win the World Series.

I watched a TV show about the holocaust. It was on an episode of mythbusters.

In the room with Raquel Welch when she realized her breasts were rather large.

Okay, time to get this party started. Page one.
I won't rate my own (if I come across them), and I won't submit any more, but I will rate other judges' as I find them. The Last Supper. It was a mundane event (no point), but even without understanding the language (no point), the extreme historical weight of what's happening would be easily comprehensible (point). As with most Biblical events, the details themselves offer plenty of mystery (point), the events were certainly not preordained (point), and the lifestyle and atmosphere would offer a lot of tertiary information (point). Final rating: with no gruesomeness (except maybe Peter's table manners). JFK Assassination (doing both because it's the first post). A Presidential motorcade is not mundane (point), an assassination's importance can easily be comprehended and understood (point and point). The mystery is obvious (point), the moment unpredictable (point). With the amount this issue has been covered, and with all of the action in one place and over relatively quickly, I'm not convinced there would be much more to see besides the assassination itself, so (no point) for tertiary information. Pretty gruesome with regard to Kennedy's skull, but it was distant and fast, so two barfs. Final rating: I recuse myself from Arthur Bryant, 2 Girls 1 Cup, and Count Zarth's parents' first date, as I am unfamiliar with any of the specifics.
