Are you sure about number 10?

I only ask because I'm still here. ;)

Ah, but how do you know it was my stuff? I've got fake stuff all over the place in every timeline, just to draw out hooligans like you!

LOL. Seriously, where do you come up with this stuff? Not that I am complaining cause it's entertaining stuff. And, oh so true!

m_mcgregor February 8 2009, 16:05:19 UTC

Come up with this stuff? Why, it's just common sense!

I'd disagree with that on the basis that your writing style and ideas have never been what most people would call common.

5. Hitler (I know it's tempting, but it always winds up worse than before)This one has to be the biggest cop-out of time travel stories. Yeah, yeah, millions of possibilities, chaos theory, there's no way to know how things will turn out, that's all true. But it can't be all that hard to come up with a result better than World War II and the fucking Holocaust. And you know what? Even if you do mess things up even worse than they "should" be, you've still got a goddamned time machine. Go give it another try, you lazy bum. Hell, lots of theories of time travel say you're not actually changing your own timeline, you're just adding yet another timeline to the infinite number already in existence. So you're not even screwing over your own world. Go nuts ( ... )
