I'm surprised nobody has answered the thread's question yet.

It wouldn't be tomorrow.

Think it's time to change the topic to a new hypothetical. Suggestions?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

What if we all woke up tomorrow and it was 1993... for the third time? You've lived forty years in this time loop. You didn't manage to escape it the second time you went through, and now you're getting pretty old. You only want to see 2014 before you die.

Build a wristwatch hooked up to a car battery that administers an electric shock ranging at random from 'painful' to 'paralyzing' every 15 minutes, and try to stay awake for the next 8 months on a combination of caffeine and amphetamines.

Alternatively, use your knowledge of the stock market and future tech to buy a spacecraft (bonus points if its fuel is liquefied $100 bills) that hurtles you into the sun the night of May 18th (or whenever). Maybe it'll give Ra a chuckle and he'll let you wake up, or something. Worth a shot.

Easy. Save up money continuously, bringing back more and more money each time, and then fund time-travel, handing whatever the previous guys figured out to the next guy (or the SAME guy, as the case may be).

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I would do one of two things-
1.  Kill my parents and try to take down the universe with me as I destroy the space time continuum
2.  Make a killing in the video game industry. "I have come up with an excellent. Idea.  Imagine it- You're playing from the first person perspective.  It is all gritty and dark.  You shoot aliens/terrorist/russians.  There are lots of cutscenes where they take control from you and force an event that you could of easily prevented from happening to happen, only it's not a cutscene because the developers don't want to railroad you.  We'll make billions!

Poor Bachman. Now She's just a nobody. A hot, crazy sounding nobody who gets invited to speak periodically at events and eventually gets her own show/radio/webcast.

AS for president? Start by saving us from the Tyranny of Light-bulb efficiency stadards.

The republican congress would be able to pass whatever batshit stuff they want, and we'd get a democrat in office in four years, or eight if it takes a while to sink in (or a change in congress). I guess we'd get more stuff done, but I can't imagine it being a good thing. At least she'd probably make it legal for me to own an aircraft carrier in our local reservoir, for self defense and hunting.
