If I could grow a face beard, I would be the happiest woman in the Pacific Northwest. I would spend all day stroking it.

Tough choice as I like both movies and both require a different frame of mind to watch them but I plumped for Back To The Future as this is the one I've probably watched most since I was a kid.
Let's do some wholesome DVD spanking.

Read this.
 


That is hilarious, though not entirely fair. It also doesntfollow the path taken in BttF Part 2 at all.

Doesn't Bif succeed at the whole sports betting scheme. That's why he's rich and powerful when Marty goes back to the future. No?

Yes, but he doesn't go back in time with future money. He goes back to give the book to his younger self. His younger self then waits till his 21st birthday and bets on races I believe. The point is, it isn't that farfetched an idea to do what Biff did. What this infographic doesn't get at is the very real possibility that Biff's actions could actually changes future sports results and render the almanac useless.

How can someone betting change the result of a sporting matching, well except where those sports matches are corrupt?
