Aside from killing Hitler or Stalin, I'd probably have drafted Marino in 83
Those years at Camrohead as a kid would've been EPIC seeing that animal out there |

I'd go to the Americas around 1490 and warn people that there was a threat coming and they should prepare themselves.

I was thinking more along the lines of observing, but it's always an interesting thought exercise to try to imagine how things would be different or would have changed with a small change or intervention.

I would've gone back to the 50s and made a small fortune on horse racing, opened a casino and stolen George McFly's girlfriend.

I would love to watch even one day of the pyramids being built. Along with a myriad of other megalithic structures.

I'd shoot Elvis Grbac in the kneecaps on January 3, 1998.

To make it clear I would want to be an invisible observer in a flying pope mobile that could fast forward through the boring parts and wouldn't alter history:
1. The Mongols conquest of Baghdad and Southern Russia. The Mongols have always fascinated in how they almost conquered everything that didn't require sea travel, their efficiency and ruthlessness. 2. Hitler's ascension into power. 3. Too much to narrow down into one event but what went on behind the scenes in WWII. I'd have to brush up and prioritize on this one. 4. Cortes’s conquering of, oh, let's just go with south America and above. 5. How I made it home in one piece a couple nights while in college walking through downtown Pittsburgh by myself. |

If I were going back and staying back. . . . I'd probably start up in Deadwood right before everyone knew about the gold. Scoop up enough gold to live on, head back east and work with to right people to bring electricity and railroad west, then hang out with a young Tesla and warn him about Edison.

I'd go back and buy a bunch of bitcoin a few years ago and would go back to a few months before the iPod was introduced and invest everything I had in Apple.
Also would be worth going back to alter history and help avoid wars too. |

I would go back to 2004, drop out of college, play 50 hrs of online poker a week until 2010 and then retire.
