dumb ideas i like

If I had a time machine that I could only use for trivial things, I'd use it go to back in time and insert anachronisms into the backgrounds of old movies and TV shows. Not necessarily science-fiction ones (tho' I'd pretty much have to give Doctor Who an iPod; it's inevitable - and given his character, arguably in character), and not shows and movies which were shot as period at the time; just, you know, stuff that could be there, but didn't exist yet. So the Brady kids' room could have a model of the Space Shuttle in 1969.
