[Coffee Warlord]

1) Stupid is traveling through time! What sort of time machine is Stupid using to make his journey?

Congrats!

Obviously I was thinking DeLorean when answering "car"...stupid is right.

[Umbrella]

I can't believe I didn't think of Bin Ladin. I actually considered Booth and Stalin though.

Too many "your mom" jokes going on when I answered that question.

[Logan]

Pretty sure a couple of those answers for Question #6 has led to a couple new residents of GitMo.

[lighthousekeeper]

Good luck finding decent cell phone coverage in 1776, what with the war going on and all.

[JeeberD]

Meh

[albionmoonlight]

LOVE the Hitler's Mom answer.

Awesome set of questions... 1776, eh? I should have selected 0 AD. Oh well. Awesome stuff Panerd!

Bin Laden crossed my mind, but clearly I wasn't stupid enough and went with John Wilkes Booth.

I went with 'car' for #1, even last second deleting my "a DeLorean, obviously" comment.


It doesn't matter though, the gun slinging alien lovers would have kept me from first place anyway.

[Pyser]

i put the year 0, then thought there was no year 0, and put 1. was not even close to being stupid on that one.

[yeah826]

I have no idea why I said Dinosaur must have thought what was he bringing back from the past.

[nol]

I was being a little too next-level with the year thinking that nobody would really want to go back to a time where the doctors just threw some leeches on you or whatever if you happened to get sick. I thought everyone would want to use their Marty McFly sports almanac to make a killing on gambling!

[NobodyHere]

Why would you take a cell phone back?

Been there my friend. Happy New York Day!

Not for cell service... Grab a few photos... play some awesome futuristic music... play some stupid games to kill time... basically waste time just like we do in modern times. Until the battery runs out I guess! Stupid is as stupid does.

[claphamsa]

damn, me and my GF argued over gun vs cell phone...I picked gun (and i typed).
