Maybe my age is showing but I didn't get either of those comics. Or is that the point?
Something witty and profound
The second one I get... 1945 is well well after he'd already accomplished all of the Holocaust et al. and was on his way to being dead anyway... thus invalidating the point of the trip.
(Also, might I point out that "one-use" when I read it seemed to imply there was no return trip either... technically, a return trip to your home time would be a second use.)

2nd comic: Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker in Berlin as the Soviet Army was assaulting the city, towards the very end of WWII, in 1945. Usually, when people suggest traveling back in time to kill Hitler, they mean traveling back to some point prior to his launching WWII so that the horrors of war might be averted and millions of lives would be saved. This assumes that there is only a single timeline and that changing the past changes the entire timeline after that point, a la Back to the Future. Obviously, traveling back in time to kill Hitler shortly before he would have committed suicide would be completely, utterly pointless.
EDIT: Bah, scooped.

There's even the implication that the timeline is fixed given that he probably killed Hitler at the exact moment that history says he was killed.|

Yeah, i came back for the commentary.

Dug, upon what information are you basing this assertation that NCSoft is about to go bankrupt?
You'll excuse my disbelief.

Pretty much nothing new for dug. I watched this guy trololol his way up and down the VN boards (RIP) for years. Still up to the same old thing.

Does this mean I win?
No?
