If you could change any historical eventFollow

#1 Jul 14 2005 at 6:48 AM Rating: Good
I was making a new sig when I figured I'd make a thread out of it's subject.

My boss and I at work the other day were joking and carrying on, when we came upon an interesting little idea. The idea spawned into a question, one that carried on through the day. The question is as follows: If you could go back in time and change any historical event, what would you do?

Whether it be hilarious, controversial, stupid, or a common 'Bush-Bash' (you know someone is thinking of how they could change his presidency), share it!

Besides the two in my sig, here's a few more I came up with that day:

- Before Arnold Shwarzinegger gets off the boat from Austria, I'd kick his dumb *** into the water so that he couldn't be my state's 'Govenator.'

- I'd go back to before Madonna was born, and punch her mother in the stomach and hope for the best.

- I'd change all **** suits to a flourescent pink. Replace all **** weapons with potato guns and K-Mart lightsabers. I'd turn Hitler into a Jewish person right as his hatred for the Jewish people hit it's max. I'd turn the concentration camps into a place of luxury, where marijuana*, happy drugs, tea, and Lostprophets music flourished.

- I'd replace the package-cutters and other weapons that the ******* terrorists used on the planes they crashed into the WTC, with package peanuts. I'd then give them a glipse of the 72 virgins they're promised, but the virgins will be 92 years old, 300+ pounds, midgets, and will be missing specific body parts.

- I'd go back in time and change EA's Def Jam Vendetta to where it includes the fighter's Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac. Then I'd have the game renamed to Biggie Vs. Tupac. (Controversial, no?)

- Finally, I'd change Luke Skywalker's name to something like Umpokcoogly Skywalker, so that I wouldn't have to suffer all my life with damn awful "Luke, I am your father" jokes. (Real name is Luke, if you didn't catch that). With a name like Umpokcoogly Skywalker, only some Ethiopian kid will get the bad end when it comes to the 'I am your father' joke, and he'll be too hungry to care.

*- I've never done drugs, but I simply added it because the concentration camps were so horrible, but if you flip it around and turn them into happy places: take it from the hippies. The Jewish culture would then have a certain percentage of easy-going, very hungry people. I figure it's best to give them the opportunity, considering the crazy dictator who put them there. /rant

Aside from the small detail that neither was on the Def Jam label (and therefore, not elible to be in the game), I wouldn't see a problem with this.

I'd go back and have the natives of the Americas to guard their eastern shores, and kill anyone that showed up.

I would go back about a million years and kill any groups of pre-humans more than, say, five.

Alternately, I would have made Johnny Damon hit the home run that sealed the Yankees' doom last season.

Is this like the Bill and Ted trick?


John Wilkes Booth sneaks behind the unsuspecting Lincoln... and raises his weapon to the Presidents head.... suddenly you hear a "WTF!!?"

Abe turns around to see a man holding a menacing turkey leg.

I think i would change nothing. It could become worse after any changes... (Not a Simpsons and dinosaurs joke) Every bad events has something good in it anyway. But i would go back and witness the construction of the pyramids.

edit: typo

The ignorance of the average American, still astounds me.

So aside from forcing Americans to take GEOGRAPHY lessons.

I would do the following three things.

1. Kill the producer of Populas II at birth for destroying 5 years of waiting for its release.

2. I would force the sniper to miss Nelson at Trafalgar

3. I would beat the writer of the koran to an inch of his life and force him to take out the 40 virgins bit, and add in a passage about "those who commit murder on thier fellow man regardless of faith shall be cursed forever"

Umm, I think DVeight is Canadian, or at least I'm assuming this because of her luck in getting an early copy of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.

Of course I could be wrong and it just so happens she is one of those Geography challenged Americans, who drives across the Canadian border to purchase her groceries and sundries.

Quote:
The Aborigines were an ancient people who lived near Rome before the Romans took over. The name appears to be from the Latin phrase ab origine meaning "from the beginning"; but since it was always used as a proper noun, it is probably a version of the tribe's real name, altered by the Romans to mean "the people here since the beginning."


I understand they were famous for their heated baths, Gladiators, Chariot Racing and getting ****-faced on cheap cider at Cricket Matches with a mangey dog on a string.

Don't forget the vomitoriums. Think of it, an entire society not only condoning Bolemia, but supporting it with government sanctioned puke facilities!

I would go back in time and demand the British Empire not allow the Americas to govern themselves.

Shooting hitler just before he became the german leader would also be a good idea.

:D
