Question

From the past or present, who would it be and what would be the first thing you'd say?

I'd want to talk to Jesus Christ and say thank you :)

But I'd also like to chat with Ben Franklin, Joan of Arc, and Saladin.

Answer 3

Hitler : All this cause you didn't get into Art school?

Answer 4

hitler and stalen so I could strangle them. :-)

Answer 5

Don't people like you think you can talk to Jesus any time?  Seriously, if you were going to talk to him, wouldn't you want to ask him if "Christianity" was anything like what he really wants?  

Myself, I'd want to speak to Abraham Lincoln.  First, I want to know what he sounded like--they describe his voice as high-pitched--and I'd just like to discuss various issues, especially his religious views (he most likely was not Christian) and how he really felt about people of color.  Etc.

Edit:  I like the idea of talking to Joan of Arc.  It would be interesting to see if she was just really crazy.  And, also, I'd like to speak to Abigail Adams.  She was such a bright woman, yet she was so constrained by the mores of her time.
