Lightbulb If you had a time machine...

You could travel to any time in history, but only had one choice, what would your choice be?

What year would you be taken to and why?

2560 BC. I would have liked to see the great pyramid being built. But then again, I would probably be one of the shlubs shlepping the stones

5 hrs back... and book the wager that i liked (+17xx) underdog on the ML in german ice hockey, beating my club... no team should be favoured like -19xx in a 2 outcome event, not even my beloved club!

Yeah but on longshots you can never get large bets down. You would have to spread it around several Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=4437" target="_blank">Bookmakers and they are limited in numbers taking betting on minor races (as that one was).

For me I would go back to the largest lottery prize ever and mark off the winning numbers, sit back and watch the numbers come in.....imagine the rush.....

No offense Davydave, but if you are using terminology like "shlubs" and "shlepping", you are probably correct.
