Another thread about airport security got me thinking about meeting people, and asking them what they were thinking when they…
If you could meet and talk with anyone, from any time, who is dead or alive, (of course they would be alive when you meet them), whom would it be?
I’ve thought about this a lot over the years and have decided I’d like to meet Benjamin Franklin. What an amazing mind that worked on so many different levels. I’d really like to get his take on the way things are now.
I would like to meet Ben too. One of the most brilliant people of all time. I always dream about making a movie about him, cant believe it hasn’t been done yet.
Wow…good one.
For dead guys, I’d have to agree on Dr. Franklin… certainly a radical thinker for his time. Thinker, philosopher, inventor, notorious ladies man, and someone who evidently enjoyed a nice ‘buzz’ as much as anyone. He had it all. ;D
Actually, most of the founding fathers would no doubt be interesting to meet and chat up. I think Jefferson would be right up there with Franklin on my ‘dead guy’ list. Of course I’d want a taste of his Monticello homebrew.
Also on the ‘dead guy’ list, but going back a bit further, I’d love to meet the one that the folklore calls Jesus Christ…I’ve got a boatload of questions for that dude.
As far as people alive today, there’s a dozen people on that list. But to narrow it down, and providing that there was a provision of guarantee for unfiltered answers, I think I’d have a question or three for whoever it is that’s top guy in charge of “Area 51”…
I’m not a conspiracy buff, but I still have this nagging feeling that there could be something they might not be telling us…
Iggy Pop is one of my musical idols, though would have loved to meet Joe Strummer (too late for that).
Dr. Michio Kaku is a brilliant mind that I love to listen to talk (even though I only understand a fraction what he says)
I’d like to share a couple pints with Denny Conn
:o :-[
NOOO, that might cause a rift in the space time continuum. It could also set off a chain of events that may alter the future for the worst. Then from the future some one would have to go back before you got there to stop you. Good guys going back to stop the good guys.
Hmmm, may be a good idea for a movie, or at least a Twilight Zone episode. Could start out with a company that offers time travel tourism.
