Great question. Anyone interested needs to read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut_Yankee_in_King_Arthur's_Court

I would start looking for a sink to try and get back to 2008.

Why ponder even 1000 years, we'd be equally screwed going 100 to 1908. Hell, Marty had trouble adjusting to 1955!

I guess if I had the foresight to memorize the 1908 football stats, I'd start betting and save up enough to buy a model T.

I'd become a blacksmith.

I mean....c'mon....



Then I'd use my first months pay to buy some Microsoft stock.

Great cheat sheet, though Technically, the flight explanation is incorrect. A detailed explanation of the principles of flight and where the "Bernoullians" fall short can be found here: Bernoulli and Newton .

Of course, if you fashioned a crude aircraft based on those principle, it probably Would fly you'd just be wrong as to the Why.

Just sayin'.
