I would enjoy watching Van Gogh paint Starry Night, or maybe sit in a lawn chair and watch the Sistine Chapel ceiling be painted.

If I am not just a 'fly on the wall' but rather totally incorporeal, I would consider standing in Hiroshima during the dropping of the bomb. Consider, yes, but I think I would reject the idea as way too depressing and wind up standing under Apollo 11's Saturn V rocket as it takes off to the moon - as long as I have REALLY good earplugs.

If we are not limited to events where we know the _exact_ time of the occurence, I would enjoy seeing the last wolly mammoth hunt done by humans, or a Tyrannosaurus attacking another dinosaur, or better yet, seeing the asteroid impact that doomed the dinosaurs.

I would consider sitting in on the Sermon on the Mount by Jesus, but give me two years prep time to learn Aramaic first.


Decisions, decisions, decisions
