If you had a watch that could stop time...

[perks]

what would you do?

 

[DulceCrema]

But wouldn't time also stop for you?

You'd stop time, but then you'd be frozen and wouldn't be able to restart it, would you?



Actually, I might be inclined to rob a bank, or something...

 

[Zamdrist]

I would go see what my son was doing at his mother's. Just to see if he was having fun or what was going on in his life.

Then I'd go feel up Jennifer Aniston's boobs. My god she's tasty.

I'm watching NICK... I stole the question I admit it... I suppose they meant if it stopped for everyone but you<smile>

 

[DulceCrema]

hehehe

I knew what ya meant....but when I saw the commercial for that movie today, I thought of the same thing.

One could really do some damage with a watch like that...

Clockstoppers (2002)

Synopsis:
Until now, Zak Gibbs' greatest challenge has been finding a way to buy a car. But when he discovers an odd wristwatch amidst his father's various inventions and slips it on, something very strange happens. The world around him seemingly comes to a stop; everything and everybody becomes frozen in time. Zak quickly learns how to manipulate the device, and he and his quick-witted, beautiful new friend, Francesca, have some real fun. What they soon realize, though, is they are not alone in "hypertime."

Since this questionis based on a Nickelodeon Movie, I'm guessing that the answers their showing on Nickteens aren't the same answers you're likely to get here.

Since I'm a Dirty Old Man and not a "NICKteen", I'm going to admit that I'd spend a lot of (non)time in ladies' locker rooms.

Here's a thought.

What if you froze time then something happened and you died...would time remain frozen forever?

 

[Wiggles]

And what if you did it so often you aged before your time?

But, if I had the chance, I'd use it on the highway on my way to work. *Click* Zoom, zoom, zoom!

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

do you guys pay attention to tv? lol

okay the movei the watch dosn't stop time, it makes the holder move soo fast that everything else seems to stand still..... this was said so to answer the questions. if you died since your the only one affected and not the rest of the world no time would go on as it was. and yes you would age faster then everyojne else if you did it too long.


If I had that watch...

I would probably beat someone to a bloody pulp for fun. Steel some money, start some fires.

 

[Tyrael]

I remember this old tv show I think it was Twilight Zone or Tales from the Darkside or something where this woman found a trinket in her garden and everytime she said "shut up" Time would stop.

I mean totally stop.

Fly..... man, sometimes you scare me...

seriously, if I had a watch that stopped time, I'd either replace the battery or buy a new watch. A watch that stops isn't worth a damn.

 

[Weird Harold]

A watch that stops isn't worth a damn.

You did know that a stopped clock is more accurate than one that loses one second a day, didn't you?

The stopped clock is correct twice every day, while the one that loses a second every day is only correct about once every 360 years. (or something on that order of time frame.)

If i had a watch that stopped time i would find the officer that gave me a ticket that was a lie and i would wait till he was giving a ticket and drop his pants and take his shirt off and then start time and watch all the fun.

The stopped clock is correct twice every day, while the one that loses a second every day is only correct about once every 360 years. (or something on that order of time frame.)

Actually, a clock that looses one second per year would be correct once every 118.356164383561643835616438356164 years.

But then again, that clock would only be 6 minutes late after one year. I think maybe I could reset the watch every two or three months.

WH... obviously, I am just playing with your idea... it was actually an interesting observation. I had never thought about it like that before.

I'd go for the quick fix and place my six lotto balls right by the chute as the big drawing was going off. Time is nice, but cash is king!!!

That's an example of fallacious logic from a class I took many years ago, athough I've seen it on the web in various forms over the years too.

I didn't bother to take the time to compute the exact interval like you did -- I knew 360 was wrong.

Foxinxsox said:

Am I the only one that would stop time in a moment of pure joy, so that I could relive it over and over again?

I might consider that if I had a watch that could create a time loop that let me relive a specific time period. (say for example, looping ten seconds of orgasm about 1000 times.)

Prolonging the joyfull moment for everyone else while I moved on doesn't seem all that attractive to me. "Hypertime" does the opposite of what you need to be really sappy.

 

[Lost Cause]

I would stop time, and travel the world putting an icepick into every fuckin' troublemaker I have a problem with. After that was done, I'd play with some righteous T&A, get some extra cash, stash it, and when I got bored I'd start time up again and watch the world circus go nuts!

two words

Paint Ball.

I would take a paint ball gun and paint ball the entire insideof the store I work at, then I would paint ball the local police station, and high school.
