If you could choose to be any person in the world from any other period besides the 21st century, who would you be?

I'd love to be a caveman while retaining my intellect.  It would be an interesting experience. I could conquer the world. Then again I dunno about the women. Then again I'm not sure I'd go that far back...

I'd love to go back during the Roman times.  Possibly be an emperor.  I'd be a god.  I love those grand architectures and their impeccable craftsmanship.  It's just remarkable what those people built.  And I can only imagine how marvelous it must of looked when it was new. 

Batman

Franjo Tuđman or King Petar Krešimir IV. :D

I think both the caveman and Roman emperor would lead to very short lived experiences of - well, life. ;D Being brutally murdered, poisoned or falling victim to some diseases would really ruin it for you.

Genghis Khan

He had so much sex, 0.5% (1 out of 200) of everyone alive today shares his DNA.  :)

You do know that Genghis Khan was a scammer don't you Vod?

I would be Chuck Yeager.  I love flying and would have a trip doing what he go to do!

Batman you do know he isn't a real life person?

the question is how good do those ancient bitches look :D

Muself.

I'd come back to the late 19th Century with the knowledge I now possess and soon become the wealthiest man in the entire world.

Damn! The good ones have now been taken, along with caveman, causing me to be stuck with being a Mayan Priest.

The Thing :)

Heman

You can also be an Aztec priest, the dude whos heart they'll eat or the dude that will eat the heart

Nikola Tesla.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla

I like him because every other scientist is re-inventing hot water thanks to Tesla.

For sure better then what we have these days... fake boobs fake arse , lip job, nose job , fake hair, and you can't say whether the girl you just had sex with might have gone through a sex change operation. ancient bitches[beauties] were surely better than that..!

I would love to become LORD Krishna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna)  he had 16,100 wives

Alan Shepard or Neil Armstrong just because it would be so awesome to go into space.

Yeah, well he got screwed out of all the royalties from his inventions and led a life of destitution and poverty.

At the time of his death, he had no money at all.

Bill Gates

I'd love to be Buddha actually as he is really wise and has clean soul.

Rich but goofy as fuck no thanks.

It's sad that everybody wants to be someone other just becouse they own lots of money, had sex with alot of women and shits like these...

I`d love to be super man, so i can punch bankers in the face and cant get touched by cops shooting at me.

But in reality, I`d probably want to be richard branson.

Being a relative of some royal family would be great.  You would have money, great education, and almost no responsibility.  Like if you're the king you have to deal with all sorts of stress and rule over everyone, the prince still has a lot of stuff to do, but if you're just like a cousin all you have to do is show up to events.  Idk for sure if that's how it works obv, but seems legit :p

Myself!

Let's assume you're the person on that profile picture.

You, me, or everyone else hasn't or isn't being screwed by the same family(es)? :)


He was a genius. He gave us so many things and we're not using them.



PS: I've read like 20-22 books about Tesla.

So you don't know a stuff about Buddha, coz we all are Buddhas we just don't know about it hence not enlightened!

Not to mention he avoided a woman's touch to focus on his work.  A true gem from god.

i like be me, is not cool to be sombody else  or anybody everybody is uniqe person an i like be ''just me'' :D

That's why i'd like to be him as he clearly is enlightened and has found the methods and does practice them ;)

Yeah, but what I mean that you already are him/you, you just don't feel/know it, so you don't have to want to be the one who you already are even if you don't feel/know it! :)

Wow, that's kinky!

Hah i've got your point and i know that :)

He-he, cheers mate! :)

TONY STARK !!,

Rich, Famous, Smart, and also Be Iron MAn

i would be the person That invented time travel that was never put in history and no one knows about.

I wanna be frankenstein

You know Iron man is fake right?...

:D

I will go to George Washington's time. I will teach him guerilla warfare technique, how to use special forces. How to fight the 21th century way. I hate to see those idiots shooting each other without hiding.

Be careful though, that they don't start to believe you're crazy or something. If you talk about all the inventions we now have... What you're suggesting is also somewhat the plot of a Star Trek Voyager episode  :D

I'd be scholar and I'd be in Atlantis with all the best minds from all over the world learning and sharing all the knowledge of our world and speicies.

It is a hard question.. no one prob.

I would like to be myself in 2010 with higher luck, aka investing when Bitcoin was worth peanuts. That's all I ask for, is it too much to ask?

See, that's what I'm thinking.

But Id besome famous musicians like... nope scratch that.. I'd be a samurai dude, swing in them samurai swords around, cuttin down trees n shit. xD

Very interesting question.
It's hard to choose now but maybe great explorer and navigator Columbus, who discovered America and changed the world!

Discovered and discovered, there had already been people living in the Americas for thousands of years before that. Also he was the second (or maybe third) European who "discovered" it. There had already been a norse settlement in what nowadays is known as Canada.
Also, an irish (i think) monk who was an awesome sailor is suspected to have visited the Americas hundreds of years before Columbus was even born.

Columbus himself was a horrible tyrant who made the indigenous population his slaves (both for labour and for sex). And not only was he a tyrant he was a rich tyrant with fancy titles. But he never actually realized that he had "discovered" a new continent. Until the end he thought that he had found a better route to asia.
Columbus was in the end prisoned for how he treated the natives and abused his status, and died as a broke man without any fancy titles.

Annai Theresa :)

 

That gave me a good laugh.  But I would know what is coming and I'd leave before such events took place.   ;)  I don't think everyone body went down with the ship or we wouldn't know about it today, right?

You do realize that Atlantis was, in all likelihood, a mythical place, right? It was intended as either a cautionary tale, or as a reference to the Sea Peoples. :P

ronaldo

They thought that Troy was a mythical place too

True, but I think Troy hasn't really been considered a mythical place since the 19th century, though the most likely candidate place for the city was only identified as such some 30 years ago. Now, Atlantis could have been meant as a reference to other real, ancient seafaring peoples, as I mentioned; but surely not with all the fantastic elements that have come to be associated with the tale, and which I assume Counter was referring to.

Though, to be honest, it would be pretty cool if the most fantastic interpretations of Atlantis were true.

I want to be a good person dont want to be any other person now i m what i accpet that cannot be chnged so i want to be a good person and helping person.. and want to love my parents and help them;.

sorry for bad english.

I would  like to be a rich  :D but  If I have all what I want then life will be boring :D So I have no idea what I want to be :D  But I knew I want to have few milion !

But there is a flaw with this. How much of the world now do you know insofar as inventions go that you know the inner workings of? Building all that from scratch is almost impossible and all the conveniences that you take for granted will also not be there. Ofc,if there was a time machine that you could keep going back and forth from,that would be a viable option...

You're mostly right; and further, he would need to build all/most of the infrastructure to build on to "conquer the world". But you have to remember it isn't only inventions that would get you far back then: simple things like basic hygiene, and how diseases are transmitted would already be a great advantage. Then, simple projectile weapons/gunpowder wouldn't be too difficult to build; steam engines aren't that difficult either; etc.

anyone who is able to find happiness without needing a lot of wealth or power.

Mahatma Ghandi, due to his acts of nonviolent disobedience.

Spartacus who led the slave rebellion against Rome. It would a hard ass life, but incredibly powerful to live it.

satoshi ;D

Caligula (Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus)

I would only make a few changes. I would triple the number of Praetorian Guard, increase their pay every year I stayed alive and kill the entire senate. I would then marry all of the vestal virgins and make all young unmarried women walk around naked all the time.

Think I would more than likely go with either Leonardo da Vinci or Satoshi Nakamoto on this one :p

When I grow up  I want to be a multimillionaire and have alot of car , house , and other expensive thing , reason why  is I have no idea , I would like to be a humanitarian mean , and have alot of women , this want eny men on the world ofcurse :)  ! If I ever make  to be multimilionaire I will help people but I will keep the most of the money to self !

Neil Armstrong - first human to ever set foot on another extraterrestrial surface (well not his bare foot :P).  The view from the moon must be spectacular and very humbling.

Jordan Belfort lived THE LIFE! I'd love to have been in this position.
