Friday Five

A good set this week, from Live Journal:
1. If you could live in any period in history other than now, when would it be?
I would have enjoyed being a landed, well-educated gentleman in the Age of Enlightenment. What a thrilling time for science and politics.
2. What knowledge or skills do you think you’d have to learn to be able to fit in your chosen period of history?
Agriculture and at least one skilled trade.
3. If you could take just one thing from the modern world back with you, what would it be?
Antibiotics
4. What period in history would you hate to have lived in?
The Middle Ages. I’m sure I would have been burned as a witch.
5. What thing from the past would you like to see make a comeback?
The practical attitude about marriage that produced the pioneer woman rather than a batch of look-alike painted dolls.
