If you are trapped in ancient time, what would you take?
Kibo informs me that MarkH stated that:

I would probably take a Nikon F5. I would then seek out the ancestors of a few key people, and use it to bash their skulls in. Other than that, what possible use would I have for a camera that far back? I'd be too busy trying to invent toilet paper... - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to match domain below Online photo gallery at www.wading-in.net |

Let's say, through the act of god, or whatever, that you've been transported back through time for a few thousand years. Would you've preferred that you have a digital camera? Or a film camera? I'd take Paris Hilton. Then I could ask for room service... |

For example, if i went back to the early days of cinema i'd take a movie like the first matrix movie and show it to an early filmmaker, like someone from 1932 when they were excited with their talkies. It'd totally captivate him, i think. I'll tell him that's how the future is. The LOTR triology, played as if they were one movie, would be another option. By doing that you would kill the initiative that in proper evolution and creativity brought us to the point where films like the Matrix could be made. Not that there was much point to the stupid movie. -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

Kibo informs me that "Bouser" stated that:
"The Dave©" wrote in message You obviously never saw the Gilligan's Island episode where they recharged their radio batteries with coconut cups and water, or whatever. True. The Professor could make a nuclear reactor using sand and palm trees, but couldn't fix a hole in a boat. Now you know the difference between a physicist & an engineer. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."
