You find yourself galloping on horse back, away from what appears to be a western town straight out of the movies. There are three other men riding with you. One of the men behind you is shouting something about a posse! Younotice the man riding next to you has been shot. Blood is flowing freely from a wound in his side.

You find you have been pushed out onto a stage! Some of the people in the audience are shouting "little sure shot!" You notice you are wearing western style garb and have two pearl handled six guns in a holster hanging on your side. NOTHING Annie Oakley ***** ****** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I.

Many people have their hands up, some waving frantically to get your attention. Wondering why you always fall for this, you randomly pick one of the people with their hand up and motion them to stand. The young man stands and says, "thank you sir for clearing up that point on relativity. Could you please expound a bit on the transformation of light quanta?" Looking around the room and hesitating for some inspiration, you notice a black board with the formula E=MC2 and algebraic symbols written on it. Albert Einstein ****** ******** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You are seated in a wood paneled darkened room. There are quite a few other men sitting around the room. You notice you are wearing a very fine italian looking suit. The men around you seem to be of the rough sort. One is speaking to you saying, "The city police have been taken care of. There is no way they will be able to secure enough evidence to convict you of the massacre. But this upcoming tax evasion trial is another story. So far we have been unable to get to the feds." NOTHING NOTHING Al Capone ** ****** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I.

You also notice you are carrying a lantern and a doctors bag. The answer suddenly dawns on you.

Wait, was that thunder you hear echoing off in the distance? You take off your glasses and wipe them on your shirt sleeve. Looking up at your kite, you notice a large skeleton key hanging from a string attached to the kite. Wow, you suddenly realize that WAS thunder you heard as a large bolt of lightning electrifies the sky. You let go of the kite string and run for cover. NOTHING NOTHING Benjamin Franklin ******** ******** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself in what seems to be a laboratory of some kind. The smell is unbearable! In front of you is a work bench with what appears to besome kind of rubber. Next to it is a container marked sulphur and a journal or ledger of some kind. You reach for the book, thinking it may hold a clue as to who and where you are. When reaching for the book you accidentally knock the container of sulphur all over the rubber! In your haste to upright the sulphur container you knock the whole mess onto the hot stove next to the work bench! The stench starts to burn your nose. Then you notice the effect of the heat on the rubber. Charles Goodyear ******* ******** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself high above the crowd, with a noose around your neck! A man in what appears to be a British uniform from the revolutionary war period is reading from a rolled parchment. He says, "You have been found guilty of being a spy behind enemey lines. For this crime you will be hanged by the neck until dead. In the year of our Lord Sept 21st, 1776. Do you have any last words?" You search for inspiration and finally shrug your shoulders and say, "not really". NOTHING NOTHING Nathan Hale ****** **** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 Again you find yourself dressed in revolutionary war period clothing. You are in the front row of a large court type room with many other men dressed the same as you. Most are talking amongst themselves. Where have you ended up this time? There are five men upfront standing together. They are reading a document. One of them turns toward you and the other men sitting with you. He says, "it is complete gentelmen! All it requires now is our signatures to present to the crown." Looking straight at you he says, "and you Sir will be the first to sign!" Not having a clue as to who you are, you scribble a tiny illegible signature. John Hancock **** ******* EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself standing on the deck of a great sailing schooner. Again, you are dressed in clothes from the revolutionary war period. You wonder why this period has come up so many times in row and wish you had studied American history better. You have this nagging feeling that you've been messing things up. Off in the distance you can see what appears to be British ships bombarding a fort on the mainland. The sight is awe inspiring and you feel the need to put quill and ink to parchment and record this event. But then you decide nah, that can't be what I'm here for. NOTHING Francis Scott Key ******* ***** *** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself on the command deck of what appears to be a 19th century war ship. Fires rage around you and you feel great pain from a very serious looking wound in your chest! From your sitting position on the deck, you can see nothing and feel helpless. The men around you seem desperate and arevery concerned for your welfare. One young officer who has been looking out to sea turns to you and says, "Sir, the Shannon is coming about again to fire"! Another officer kneels down to you and asks "What will you have us do Sir"? From the desperate look in the officers eyes you feel the end must be near. You make your decision and order them to "abandon ship"! James Lawrence ***** ******** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself in very warm sea water midway between a sailing ship and the shore. Either way is a long swim but the shore seems closer. You start swimming for a shore which seems very far away. Looking back at the ship you notice all the harpoons standing upright in the bow of the ship. Must be a whaling ship, you think to yourself. After a very long swim you reach the shore and are greeted by the natives. They are much shorter than you. That's when you notice with horror that they are wearing shrunken heads at their waist. Well if they don't eat you, you think to yourself this whole adventure could be the makings of some classic novels! Herman Melville ****** ******** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You are sitting at a large conference table with many men. They appear to be scientists. On the wall to your right you see a emblem that reads Los Alamos Energy Research. Everyone seems to be reading the final copy of some document. You find that you have to urgently go to the bathroom. One of the men addresses you saying, "Sir, I don't know if this is a typo, but it lookslike you left off the ending to the final equation?". Looking at the documenyou read what appears to be many algebraic symbols. Thinking to your self, what can one little number do, you randomly pick a digit and add it the end of the document. All you really want is to get to the bathroom quick! Robert J Oppenheimer ****** * *********** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You sit behind a large oak desk. In front of you is a document addressed to the Governor of the Territories of Utah.

You are all waiting for some kind of event to begin. Soldiers and civilians together are setting up what appears to be some kind of gun on a stand. When everything is set up, the civilians turn to you as if your permission needs to be given before they do what ever they are going to do. Going with the flow you nod your head for them to begin. Turning a large handle on the side of the weapon, the gun begins to rapid fire bullets down range which makes an awful racket and does considerable damage to the targets. When the gun is out of ammunition the officers turn to you all smiles. Richard Jordan Gatling ******* ****** ******* EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 Everyone around you appears to be wearing 16th or 17th century clothing. They are all speaking Itailian. You stand before the entrance to a tower that seems to be leaning over slightly. In your hands you have two different size cannon balls. Thinking you should be going in the tower for some reason, you step back and take a good look at the tower. It definatly seems to be leaning and does not appear safe. You decide against going in the tower and leave the cannon balls outside the entrance. They were getting heavy and you didn't have a clue what to use them for anyway. Galilei Galileo ******* ******* EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You find yourself running on a track. You know you have never run this fast before. People are cheering you on and there are people everywhere with stop watches eyeing you closely. Your lungs are burning and your legs feel like lead weights. You have no idea where the finish line is. Then you notice everyone else is far behind you. Saying a quick prayer of thanks you see the finish line ribbon and realizing no one else can catch you at this point. So you slow down and coast to the ribbon. A very upset man approaches and says, "why did you slow down? You could have been the first man to ever break the four minute mile! You had it sewn up!" Roger Bannister ***** ********* EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I. ComSorTium BBS 413-443-8788 You are sitting across from a man you have seen before. Or you have seen his picture at least. In front of you is a chess board. You can tell it must be the end game as very few pieces remain in play. On the wall to your left is a banner proclaiming the 1972 World Chess Championship. All the other tables are empty. It seems to be just you and this vaguely familiar person who you remember as being a Russian. Suddenly he makes a move and presses the stop button on his clock. It would appear as though it is your turn. You have never been a great chess player and see no openings or plays. So you do the only thing that comes to mind. You resign.

"Ok", says the man you just helped strap in. "Start the engine and move these reporters back brother. I wouldn't want to hit any of them now." You turn back to the crowd and motion them back. The man in the airplane seat throws off the cables holding the airplane back. It starts to move and then goes up a few feet into the air. It seems to be staying aloft. What appears to be a reporter yells to you, "I knew you guys could do it! Look at Orville up there, flying that machine!" Wilbur Wright ****** ****** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I.

Far below you, is a sight you at first can't believe. It appears as though the sea has been divided by two invisible walls. Passing through it is a huge rag tag band of men, women and children. Your arms are getting very heavy, but your worst problem is an immediate need to sneeze. Suddenly the sneeze forces itself out and without thinking you bring your hands down to cover your mouth.

They appear to be walking over thetop of their fallen comrads. Dead or dying men are all around you. The man next to you says, "looks like this is the end. The ammunition is all gone". A man on the other side of you says, "damm, it's enough to make me sick thinking that Santa Anna is going to take the Alamo." It's also enough to make you dead you think, as rank upon rank of soldiers grow closer to the fort. Looking around for a weapon you find a large knife hanging at your side. It feels just right in your hand. James Bowie ***** ***** EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EDave Wendling N.U.G.I.
