Who are the top 5 people you would most like to meet (2 alive 2 dead 1 either and state why)?

Question

My choices would be:

Alive:

M Ali a man of the greatest social and physical skills

T B Pickens for being an oilman who realizes we cannot drill our way out of this problem. And is looking for legit alternatives (he is old and a billionaire so he has no reason to lie).

Dead

Hitler to learn his true intents (not what the victors claim).

Tesla easily the smartest human to ever live.

Either

Stephen Hawkings the smartest man alive today.

I deliberately left out the obvious Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Confusious, Buhdda, as they are humans who would be chosen are based on bias not curiosity. I hope you do the same and please no McCain or Obama - I am sick of hearing about this election!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool.

Alive:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Hands down, I'd love to have audience, however short, because it would be something I could NEVER forget.

Jane Goodall. I've met her twice, and it had been something I'd always wanted since I was very small - she really is a marvellous person, I'd love to hear another lecture.

Dead:

[Difficult selection!]

Catherine de'Medici. Some say she was a witch and she did cruel things, or was she just human? That would be an experience and a half to have a chat with her! [There are so many other monarchs I'd love to chat with, I'm not sure why I chose Catherine]

Louis Leaky, with his wife of course, she can't left out of the picture. They give me such inspiration!

Either:

King Henry VIII. How very cheesy, you might be thinking - but if I could as in his Privy and see what the devil was actually going through his mind, it would be awesome.

Cheers!

Answer 7

Dead :

Queen Elizabeth just to see what made her tick. She was a strong female figure in a world dominated by men.

Hitler would be very interesting just to see what was going on in his head and to maybe have him evaluated my a shrink.

Alive:

Nelson Mandela, wow what a man to sit and have tea with. To sit and just listen to him, listen to what he has to say and what he has been through.

The head of any major oil company to ask them why it's more important to become greedy money hungry fools than it is to save the planet that we live on.

Either would be John Lennon, That would just be too cool to see and hear about what he thinks about the world now almost 30 years after his murder.

Jane Austen because she is my favorite author and i want to see what goes on in the head of the woman who created Pride and Prejudice.

Either

Elizabeth I because she was fearless and intriguing and clever. A truly iconic, legendary woman.

Answer 12

Ok my alive choices...

Bill Bailey because i have listened to his comedy near enough all my life and i think he would be so fun to just chat to.  Plus he is an amazing musician and i really respect musicians, maybe have a jam with him sometime.

Steve Vai because he is another amazing musician, with such a rich knowledge in music too, having composed music for a whole orchestra.  I would very much like to shake his hand.

Now for my dead choices...

Socrates, being one of the earliest philosophers, i think he really had a good view on life in that knowledge is the property of the divine, and i would really like him to question me on what i hold dear about myself.  Shame about how his state treated him.

Hannibal, the amazing Carthaginian general who in the second Punich war killed and captured a total of 50,000 - 70,000 Roman troops, a force which greatly outnumbered his own.  I want to meet him because he is such a great strategist and would like to see how he is as a person.

Either...

Johnny Depp, cos my God, he is a chameleon, such an amazing actor he can play any role at all to perfection.
