    • An equal amount of time before and after 1250, so 1215 - 1285.

    Or I would calculate the length of my life and die in October of 1958, say 1878 - 1958.

    The only problem would be if everyone around me was good I would probably be bad, I tend to be a rebel.  So thank God I'm alive now when swimming against the stream means I am being good.

    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church

    • I once visited a diner which had a sign outside advertising "Breakfast Any Time", so I ordered french toast during the Renaissance.  - (Steven Wright)

    Is there a cure for that now?

    Yes, antibiotics, but a 15 year old boy died last week of it in Kyrgyzstan.

    I like that 1878 plan.

    • I would want to live sometime 1632-1700. Only to prevent Locke from publishing his works. I think the world would be a very different place.
