    Save Hendrix from Choking to death on vomit.
    Save Bonham from choking to death on vomit.
    Go to the future, to see what they did with the rest of their careers.

    Step one: Go forward in time to the pinnacle of human technology (assuming that is not the current time)

    Step two: Live out approximately 4 years in that time frame, gathering pieces of technology like iPod's (or a future equivalent of one), hover boards, other miscellaneous leisure items, and tools to use for making the technology of that time period. Also, would begin to construct a pair of mechanical wings that could sustain flight for long periods of time.

    Step three: Go even further into the future, past the extinction of mankind, gather raw materials to create a suit of body armor that facilitated the same functions as a Mjolnir power suit, or similar. Then attach previously made wings to suit.

    Step four: Go back in time to the medieval era, or the Edo period in japan. While wearing the suit of armor I created, feign being god and build an army of followers, all the while slowly building technology and arming them/teaching them how to use it. During this time I would probably find a woman and have children.

    Step five: Go to a point in the future where wars occur in space, bring my army of converts with me and hijack a space frigate with warp capabilities, travel to ALL of the other planets that could possibly sustain life and search for aliens.

    Step six: After finding an alien race, either teach them our customs and language, or start war with them.

    Step seven: After either pummeling aliens into submission, or forming an alliance with them through peace, begin research on the meaning of life and whether a god exists.

    Step eight:
    If we find that a god does not exist: Proceed to make my entire body robotic (immortal) and go to the beginning of all life on earth and watch over mankind as it evolves and matures.

    If we find that a god does exist: Go back in time to the exact point in time where I gained the time machine and destroy the time machine, then send my past self a note that explains what I had discovered, then go to the point in time where the universe collapses and die while watching it all go out.

    That is how i would do things, sure some parts could be arguably immoral, but it gets the job done.

    So, if you saw God you would kill yourself?

    killing hitler before the war would cause some serious problems in the long run so i would rather kill him execution style like a week before the date he killed himself. the war itself would still have the same effect on how people are treated now and i would have the joy of killing the bastard. it's a win-win situation.

    choke to death on vomit a week later?

    just saying, they'd more than likely continue their habits

    I would go back in time and become an oracle. Matrix style. Also, lotto tickets.

    I thought Hendrix died on overdose. Am I wrong?

    Let's just say I've got a theory guys. If in a while you check and Wednesday comes after Tuesday and the number 2 means what 3 meant, so 2 will be lower now, then it means it worked.

    I also would live out the 3 back to the future movies. That would be pretty awesome.

    I'd probably also got to a lot of concerts, and see some artist that I really like. Like a very early Daft Punk Concert, LCD Soundsystems Last Concert, Woodstock 99 (I'd troll the **** out of that concert) Led Zeppelin, and a bunch of other stuff that would be really cool to go and see.

    And as well as meeting Escoffier, I would apprentice under him, learning as much as I can, and then using that knowledge to work with some great chefs of out time, and maybe even future ones, and well as other great past chef.

    That is the whole point. my current self that is doing the time traveling cannot be altered, but I can prevent the past me from making the same mistakes, therefore preventing the current me to be re-created. This all falls under an assumption that changing the past would only create an alternate reality, in which the current me would be exempt from any changes being as I am from our reality.

    no i mean the second you destroyed it you, unable to place the note. if you placed the note and THEN destroyed it, both you and the note would disappear. TIME FLAW.

    For serious:
    Go back to the ancient greek times, study under Plato, become his most famous student, and introduce time travel in this period, so technology advances.

    Study military tactics under Alexander the Great.

    Help the french win a war.

    Help design the original Pokemon games.

    Go into the future to see what happens after i make these adjustments.

    For the lolz:

    Metallica. Seattle. 1989.

    Meet Cliff Burton.

    Lotto numbers.

    Buy the Baltimore Ravens with my lotto numbers.

    Lotto numbers all the way. Riches beyond riches.

    However, there are some events I would kill to witness.

    To be honest, I'd probably be too scared to use it.
