20: lycoris asked: If you had a time machine where would you choose to go and visit with it and why?

Visit is the key word- I wouldn’t want to live in it. I would take my husband to the 18th century and go on all of Mozart’s opera premieres. And I would take my friends C and K and go fabric shopping in just about any decade.

And I wouldn't mind taking a trip to London in 1483 and find out who really killed the princes in the Tower as the question of Richard III’s guilt in that case was the first historical mystery I was hooked on.

I picked "visit" very specifically for that reason - popping in and out of time would be quite different from picking an actual place to live, I think!

Hmmm, I can't help feeling one would have to linger for quite a while to get that information! (and that's not a time period I would want to live in!) Might need to get in with the right people which would take time, effort and possible risk of head-chopping off ... I mean, you could certainly pick up the gossip but we kind of know that the gossip was heavily weighted to "Richard did it/had it done." so it's not really conclusive ... I think we might need a time machine and an invisibility ray for that one! :)

You are right, you would need an insibility ray too. And thinking about it I don't really feel keen to actually see small children being murdered, so I guess I will have to stand back and decide that it will have to remain a mystery after all.
