A few questions - I think it will be interesting to see what different people answer
1) How would you spend your time if you knew you only had 24 hours to live?
2) if you had just ONE chance to travel either to the future or to the past (and back to present) what would you choose and why and how far/back in the future/past?
3) If you could ask just ONE question and you were guaranteed that the answer is 100% reliable, what would you ask?

1) Fucking and Drinking...it sounds stupid but honestly, I'm single and I have a few really good friends so aside from hanging out with them for a few of those 24 hours, thats what I would want to do. If I have to go out, I want to be astride a 5000 dollar an hour hooker sucking on a bottle of 20 year old scotch.
2) I would travel back in time to when Stalins father was banging his Mom and prevent that from happening.
3) Who shot Kennedy and will they get out of prison/secret cia proving ground torture chamber before obama is out of office?
People post some insane shit on here.
1) After saying good bye to friends and family I would want to be alone on a beach to meditate and watch the ocean.
2) Go back in time and see a Dodo Bird.
3) What came 1st, the chicken or the egg. A lot can be inferred from the answer.
1) A lot of drugs.
2) Nothing because I've taken a physics class before. Actually, I could probably get away with going back a couple of years buying some stocks without affecting the world TOO mcuh.
3) Probably some stock quote. Or lottery numbers.

1) I'd probably just want to be by myself, somewhere in the mountain, eating good food and drinking good wine, listening to my favorite music of all time. Hopefully I'll already have the playlist so that I don't waste a lot of time...honestly, hookers suck and i don't think i could go out and have a good time if i knew i was dying.
2) Can't think of anything better than what San Franciscan said
3) How was life created?
Children, c'mon. You're going to spend your last moments alive drinking/smoking/pleasuring? Grow up.
1- I've done a lot of bad things, said horrible things, etc. I'm going to be trying to atone for that stuff, seek reconciliation with past friends/family.
2- Move the briefcase to the otherside of the table. Bye Bye Hitler.
3- What is my true vocation in life?
No, seriously. The things that are unknowable are probably better left unknown.
1.) I will spend 18hours with my family and friends, telling them how much I love them. I will spend the last 6hours with my GF, I will confess to all the lies I have ever told her.
2.) Go back in time to have lunch with John Davison Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry S. Morgan, Harold Stanley and Isaac Newton.
3.) Where will I go to when I die, is Heaven an Hell real?
Either you are an extremely selfish person or you hate your girlfriend.

have a heart2heart with god. in the literal sense, not the crazy bull some people can convince themselves of. realistically (assuming the above is not), i'd rent a yacht and sail it to the nearest uninhabited island.
(ignoring here the physical impossibility, irrelevance and inferred paradoxes of time-travel in the popular sense) go back in time to the 30's, with blueprints of the m16, ak47, or tavor (whatever is more convenient at the moment :P) and blueprints for the required machinery for their production, and begin mass-production, equip the jews of europe and israel, train them (kinda like a terrorist organization actually), until right after the formal declaration of war, and then cut through germany (and any other country on the way) to the promised land. maybe take over turkey while we're at it...
asking what happens when we die is like a two-edged knife - you might get a good answer, then again, you might get a bad one - and then what? you no longer have the benefit of the doubt... i'd like to know the secret to eternal life... or... oh god, that could actually be very depressing... well... i guess i'd just ask "what do you get when you multiply six by nine?"
one question: "Is our children learning?"
Preach to em Mase!
fucking classic that everyone basically wants to go back and make money
Well... it is interesting that no one has considered a possibility of going back to the past to try to prevent the whatever disease you have that only lets you live for 24 hours in the present. Alternatively, going to the future to try and find a panacea.
Regarding, question 3, don't you think you will kind of waste your question asking about lottery numbers? You have a chance to learn something that an ordinary person will never learn, regardless of his/her wealth, status, etc...
Probably family / friends. I would sign up to be an organ donor and write a will while I'm at it.
Back to when Jesus was alive. I know people feel very strongly both ways and I would like to see him with my own eyes / talk to him about things (just to make sure I'm on the right side of things).
Depends on how 2. turned out.
Im surprised no one wants to go to the future
Honestly, all this talk about screwing chicks or getting wasted is pretty stupid. If you have ever been around anyone about to die I can promise you the last thing on your mind is ass.
I am surprised by the maturity of a lot of the posts. Happily surprised.
