oskar View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Join Date Apr 2008 Posts 7,019 Location in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz	Are you prepared for unexpected backwards timetravel? Cos I'm so not. If I were to just fall into a wormhole and arive at 2000BC I would have nothing to show for. I can't even build a steam engine! I know how a wheel works. But idk if I could fashion one that would work in the usual manner. I'm thinking about getting Amazon.com: Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (9780071004992): John Benjamin Heywood: Books: Reviews, Prices & more It's a bit pricey. But if you take into account that this could be immensely useful BOTH in the event of unexpected backwards timetravel AND nuclear/zombi/amazon holocaust, it's the bargain of the century.

If I found myself in 2000 BC, I think I would be OK as long as I could manage to create an alcohol distillery. I bet I get my distillery up before you get your steam engine working.

How would you create an engine in 2000 BC? I think I could maybe create a distillery; but an engine requires resources and skills that you'll never be able to pull together in 2000 BC.

The chinese were doing some pretty crazy shit already in 2000BC so with a good head from today and some people that use the tools of then regularly, then yes, we could build a steam engine. However, if Oscar was gonna get me to help him with it he'd better get hooked up with you and your distillery cuz I aint building shit without something to drink.

A 50 AD steam engine link would be an awesome read.

Wormholes, like phonebooth and whirlpool timemachines are very unpredictable by nature. I'm saying that even if I had the necessary resoucres to build an engine/computer/doomsday device, I would lack the know-how and mechanical skills to pull it off. And that I think is embarrassing for a 21'st century man. That's why I really like the idea of synthesizing drugs in some manner to help you subjugate the men and seduce the women.

BennyLaRue View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Join Date Sep 2007 Posts 5,866	When I was 10, I reasoned that two Warpes could exist in the universe together since even a Warpe one minute older than another Warpe would be different at a cellular level because many thousands of cells would be dead and or manipulated in older Warpe so they wouldn't be exactly the same being but he would change history so it would still be bad to have two Warpes present at the same time period, ldo. When I was 10 I also thought that if I were able to stop time, I would use my power to touch older ladies' boobies.
