    Yeah, well, that gets boring real fast... now, world leaders knocking boots... I don't think that EVER gets old.
    Dom Pedro II - 2nd and last Emperor of the Empire of Brazil (1831 - 1889).

    I truly believe that America is the world's second chance. I only hope we get a third...

      The death of Christ, with a continuous view of the tomb for the next three days. And I'd like my fundy Christian brother there with me. Depending on what we saw, one of us would have to seriously rethink his beliefs.
      "THE" plus "IRS" makes "THEIRS". Coincidence? I think not.

        I believe it was Michelangelo that scultped David?

        Or am I just getting confused... ?

          I really have no idea which event I'd like to see. The fact is that there are so many really great ones, and I couldn't possibly make a decision like that. So I'll stick with my Napoleon one.... or maybe the birth of the first idiot? That's going WAAAAYYY back though.

              The trial and crucifixion of Christ, or the last supper.

              Life and death is a grave matter;
              all things pass quickly away.
              Each of you must be completely alert;
              never neglectful, never indulgent.

                Such a hard question!

                A day in the life of a Spartan.

                Or maybe see the pyramids being built.

                      What would you find interesting in watching Michelangelo sculpt David? It's a rather long process... And from what I've read about the guy, he wasn't too pleasant to be around either.

                            Holy crap, you read my mind totally. Just yesterday I was thinking of posting almost the exact same thread, except I was going to say any 3 events, and they had to take place in 24 hours or less. My 3 top would be:

                            1) JFK's assassination, and I'd keep my eyes on the grassy knoll
                            2) The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. I'd follow them there, draw a map, remember it all, goddarnit.
                            3) Those missing 18 minutes of the Nixon tapes.

                            You can see I'd rather solve a historical mystery than just witness some cool events. I thought about witnessing disasters such as the Titanic, Pompeii, etc., but I really have no desire to see people die (Ok, but the JFK thing is DIFFERENT). Although, Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg is sorely tempting. But I can do without the mental scarring such events inflicted.

                            Oh wait I forgot! Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
                            BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Wooo, that's rich!

                              I was actually going to say the JFK assassination so I could find out what REALLY happened, but then I decided I didn't want to waste it on that. That's like having a genie grant you one wish and you pick a ham sandwich...

                                Hum...
                                Ham sandwich...
                                What about cheese and ham?
                                That'd be cool.
