I would go back in time and steal a shit load of gold then bring it back and melt it so I can't be found.

I'd go back about 30 years, work three jobs for a couple of months, and buy as much Microsoft stock as I could. Then I'd come back, and do nothing but hang out in Vegas and bone hot chicks.

Go back to the time of Jesus before he was crucified so I could see his miracles.

1975, right before I was conceived.

I'd kick my dad in the balls and keep him from doing anything to bring me to this place.

Or, I could grow a beard and tell everbody that I'm the real Jesus. I'd give all the same prophetic stuff but I'd skip out on the whole dying bit. And, I'd make sure everyone knew that I banged Mary Magdalene.

What makes you think he'd listen to you if he didn't listen to Pop?

I'd do a triple dip: first back to get Xerox shares and dump them at the peak, then Microsoft, then Google.

Tru dat. Just go to the drawing immediately before a big winner for Mega Millions or Powerball and pick the right numbers. That poor bastard in WV would probably thank you for doing it. He's the one carries tens of thousands in cash, got drugged and rolled at a titty bar, had his truck broken into and lost 100K, and had a granddaughter OD and die after he gave all of his relatives money. Oh, and his wife left him. Taking his money would actually be a good deed.

Geez talk about a string of bad fortune after taking the money. I wondered how his life was before he got rich.... :lol

Yeah, I had always thought he was some brain dead hick until I read a retrospective last year. I think he was worth like $18M before he hit the Powerball. I guess carrying briefcases full of cash is just how they do bidness in The WV.

I'd grab my Sports Almanac with the result of every sporting event listed in it and then I'd start betting on games and races and be proclaimed "The Luckiest Man on Earth." With my substantial winnings, I'd build a giant casino and bribe police and local government until everything around my casino became a giant slum.

go back in time to the late 1800s, buy a whole shit load of land in north, southeast or south Texas and then reap the oil and gas rewards to this day.

I'd go back about 80 million years to the late Cretaceous so I could check out T-Rex and Triceratops. Hopefully I could come back and tell all of the Creationists they are full of shit.

The whole "sports almanac" thing takes a lot of time, bets, and some starting capital, and is likely to draw Sicilian attention and violence.

Thats sorta weird. If that guy was pretty well off already, I don't see why winning the powerball would have made him start doing that sorta stupid stuff. While it was probably alot more than he had, I'm sure he still had nice things and wasn't lacking for anything. Now for a normal schmuck like me I can see...
