Thomas Paine.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
You know, Nero might be fun to meet. Once.
Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :
Hmm... I'd love to meet Shakespeare. That'd be fun. And Julius Ceasar. And Napoleon Bonaparte. I'd probably like to meet Homer, Will Durant, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander the Great. Others too, of course.
If it was only one person... I'd have to say... um... George Washington?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Ack I totally forgot. If I had to pick one, John Adams.

Jesus. It would be nice not to have a fresher source than a 2000 year old text.
Posted by Einstien (Member # 9128) on :
Jesus huh..........

Nice, then I meet moses HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
I would meet... me! In twenty years.
And yes, it does count as history. Fifty years from now, twenty years from now would be, as it would be thirty years ago, in fifty years.

Voltaire. Oh the fun we'd have; roaming the continents of the world, offending pontiffs, and all at once recognizing that the best of all possible worlds....isn't this one.

I would meet William Shakespeare

Adam.
I'd warn him that Eve was just going to get him into trouble. Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
Jesus, Budha, and Alexander Hamilton. In that order
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
After talking to the two of them, the conversation with Alexander Hamilton would be pretty interesting.
Posted by airmanfour (Member # 6111) on :
Eh, they all had currency issues.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Ben Franklin. Seems like a fun kind of guy. Except for that "early to bed, early to rise" nonsense.
Posted by Epictetus (Member # 6235) on :
I'd meet Buddha, though it'd be a little difficult since my Pali and Sanskrit is non-existant at best. We'd probably just end up saying Karma to each other and nodding.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Wow, good choices in there...
Ben Franklin, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Galileo, Columbus, Lincoln, Mark Twain, Robert A Hienlien, Winston Churchill, Nixon, JFK, Cesar, Darwin, Locke, Voltaire, Washington, Regan, the Wright brothers and bunches more.
Posted by airmanfour (Member # 6111) on :
So everyone who has multiple published biographies?
Posted by Audeo (Member # 5130) on :
I'd want to meet Emily Bronte, Cicero, Richard III (mostly just to find out if all the rumors are true), Zheng He (he seems like a cool guy, though a little arrogant at times), Mohammed (because I think it'd be interesting to hear what he had to say, note I wouldn't really want to meet Christ, because I believe in him, and it's a little scary to think of meeting your God, Mohammed I can think of as just an influential man), Mendel (because I am amazed at the man's intelligence and diligence), and Oswald Avery .
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
John Goodyear, Groucho Marx, Thomas Edison, and a peasant from the middle ages.

Quite a crowd. What group activities would you have planned? Maybe you could put them all on a bus and show them Disneyworld.
Posted by Crotalus (Member # 7339) on :
If it was me, I'd just take 'em all to the San Demas mall.
Posted by Fyfe (Member # 937) on :
My great-grandfather, who I hear was quite a guy. And Oscar Wilde. Definitely, Oscar Wilde. And I would bring along my wee recorder to get a record of his voice.
