If you could go back in a time machine to observe any three events in history, which three would you choose?

2010-ish TEPCO headquarters to warn about the coming tsunami that would destroy their reactors and the country.. (too bad i'd be ignored by proud executives. :P )

when Germans and British soldiers decided to play football on X-mas in the middle of WWI

the council of Nicea.

Thermopylyae. Crucifixion. Destruction of Atlantis.

England winning the World Cup in 1966. (I was there at the game but would like to see it again: "They think it's all over").

When that time machine is invented When the first homo sapiens decided to flip the desk and start going up north and populate the earth When the first self replicating RNA or anything resembling self replicating molecules was formed

Any occasion when Cleopatra was taking a bath in goat's milk. I'd go back three times.

Let's see. Since JFK's assassination has been in the news recently, I'd go back to the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and see if Oswald was the shooter. For No. 2, I'd go back and spend the last hour on the Titanic as it goes down. For No. 3, I'd visit Roswell in 1947 to see if a UFO really did crash there.
