Poop What historic event would you like to have witnessed? - Page 9

DJJasonp · 06-11-2014, 07:18 PM

Spinoff from the concert thread....

If there was a significant historical event that you could have been at live and in person (with no chance of dying or having any harm befall you) - what would it be?

And to make it interesting, you can witness this event by going back in time, and having all the knowledge you currently have carry with you to that place and time where the event occurred.

This is not a "prevent it from happening" opportunity - just as a witness.

My first thoughts - would have to be the last supper (and days following crucifixion) and the JFK assasination.

What say you?

Yeah yeah yeah. Keep it up, and we'll institute a tax.

As a board, we need to be ready when time travel comes available. I propose that we set up a committee of people to evaluate applications based on the principles that I've summarized below. We'll select an official time travel mission for Chiefsplanet so we're not caught flatfooted when the technological kinks are worked out.

I would propose myself, Aries, and DJjasonp for the committee, and we would welcome others. If you're on the committee, you can't propose a mission, though. We'll evaluate the applications received so far, providing scoring, and use that to select an official mission.

Everyone on board with this plan?

I'm in.

I nominate that all submissions be graded with from one to six

's, corresponding to Principles 1 through 4, and 6 and 7. Because Principle 5 (gruesomeness) is so subjective, submissions should also be evaluated with from 0 (none) to 4 (extreme)

's, to appeal to all sensibilities. Therefore, a typical grade may look like:

.

I further nominate that an attempt be made to separate the historical from the theological. Therefore, anything with supernatural evidence intrinsic to the event should be labelled with a

with no further evaluation. However, events traditionally associated with the supernatural are fine as long as it is judged without the supernatural element; therefore, the crucifixion of Jesus (assuming that the earthquake was natural) is fine, but the resurrection of the same gets summarily labelled with a

.

Do we start from now, or judge retroactively back to Post One?

I think we start from Post 1. I'm fine with this judging, though we may need a second round for the finalists.

If someone lists more than 1, then we only go with their first application.

How about one of the naval battles they would put on in the Colosseum?

WWII. My dad always talked about how they listened to the announcement of Pearl Harbor on the radio and then how the whole family would gather nightly around the radio for updates on the war. Classic.

To watch the Titanic leave shore. I don't think I could watch it from the distance sink and hear the screams.

JoeyChuckles · 06-13-2014, 08:15 PM

Man a lot of people want to see death and destruction.

teedubya · 06-13-2014, 09:01 PM

I'd say the Council of Nicea and the inner circle of their planning. I'd like to know, for sure, what is bullshit about organized religion.

And D-Day would have been pretty amazing to witness. So many balls of steel.

Also, taking a picture of Hitler and Eva Braun getting off their submarine after landing in Argentina.

Also, I'd like to have been on the roof during the Beatles rooftop concert.
