Question X - Time Travel

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

This question may (or may not) be in "The Book of Questions,"
but it just popped into my head so I'll ask it...

======================================
If you could Time Travel, and be
present at any major event in history,
which would you choose, and why?
======================================


To answer my own question:
The first thing that popped into my mind was that I'd like to be present at
the coronation of Queen Elizabeth I, and spend a year lurking in her court,
just to see what she was really like, because I've always found her
fascinating.  I would lurk, because to actually speak to someone so educated
and powerful would be beyond me....

My second choice would be to witness some major natural disaster (from a
safe distance, of course), something like the meteor explosion in Tunguska,
Siberia in 1908, or the eruption of Krakatoa... yeah, something with a lot
of noise!
