Which Historical Figure Would You Take to Dinner?

Harry Houdini, for sure. [I consider him an historical figure. ] This is because I'm entirely fascinated by him.

Vlad the Impaler. Because we would have epic conversations.

Elvis. Because he is Elvis.

consulting detective:

Edgar Allan Poe. He is my favorite writer and I believe he was just brilliant. I'd love to see what kind of tips he could give me for my own writing.

MaudMorticia:

Elvis. Because he is Elvis.

Same here. :)

Oh, and Teddy Roosevelt. I think it would be interesting.

Teddy Roosevelt. So many interesting conversations could come from that.

Albert Einstein, because I would like him to explain how he saw the world.

Elvis...I mean, seriously, I would have loved to have a conversation with him.

JFK, what a legend!!!

Paul from the New Testament

...Hitler just so I could put him in a cupboard.

But seriously, I'd like to take Elizabeth the First out. She's such a fascinating person yet the majority that we kno wof her is the mask.

river song.:

I would LOVE to extract John Kramer (Jigsaw) from the fictional world and put him in a room with Hitler. Then just watch it unfold.

Edward Elgar or Oskar Schindler. I think they're both very interesting people, and from what I've read Elgar was hilarious and Schindler was charming. I think if I had the chance to get together with both of them we'd have quite the wild night out.

river song.:

Probably Freud and I'd Psychoanalyse his choice of food.

See how he likes it.

This.

Lewis Carroll (Reverend Lutwidge Dodgson); I'd have a tea party with him for the sake's of it and discuss the logic behind the nonsense of his poetry and novels.

If I can only really choose one, Adolf Hitler. I want to know why he did everything he did (like, an in-depth conversation about his immense hatred towards Jewish) and also I've got a few questions about these crazy stories I've heard...about him having alien technology. Like he'd tell me, though.

But others on my list would be: Tutankhamen, because he seems like he'd be interesting. Being a Pharaoh so young and then dying mysteriously and all. Martin Luther King, because he's such an inspiration with his dreams and such. A random Aztec/Incan/Mayan tribesman/woman (if that's what they were called?) to ask what like was really like, and to see if it was an enjoyable time/place to live. Aaaaand Homer, because I bet we might have interesting conversations.

Hopefully not to the same dinner

Definitely not to the same dinner, baha.

Wow, such a wonderful mix of people. I'd have to meet MLK too... and Hitler. I mean, I just gotta (although he'd probably try to kill me too and not answer anything I have to ask).

But I'd have to take Malcolm X too. I want to know about his whole life (although I saw the movie about him) and I'd like to do the black power fist with him because I just have to.
A KKK member (although I don't have to go back in time for that) so I could tell him how I felt about him... hoping not to worry about the aftermath of it.
A Native American so I can ask him how much it felt to be treated poorly.
And an famous slave like Nat Turner or Harriet Tubman. I gotta know how they had the bravery to do what they did because a lot of black people then were afraid to rebel for many good reasons.
A skin head, just so I can fight him.
Oh and Frita Kola because she's just that guy you should meet. I can sympathize with her. We all have our imperfections, but we still love ourselves for our true beauty. I liked her uni-brow because she loved it, so I'ma love it too. And she took pain like a man. She's just awesome.

I'd want to take Karl Marx to praise his theory & just to talk about everything communism.

Also, I'd like to chat with Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Vladmir Lenin, Niccolo Machiavelli, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Kim-Jong-Il, Mohandas Gandhi, Pakrat Karash, etc.

I want Kant, Machiavelli & Nietsche all at once.
& then the rest together.

However, if I can only have one, it's Karl Marx.

I'd also have to say Hitler. I don't see him as a monster, really, just seriously mistaken. (This is coming from someone who is Christian and has several Jewish relatives.) I'd like to ask him why he bore such a grudge against Jews, Romani, and Poles. I mean, come on, my Polish friends are awesome!

Oskar Schindler, Karl Marx, and Claus von Stauffenberg would also be interesting to talk to. Maybe Mussolini as well. (Though these would be several different dinners.)

And Gandhi. More food for me.

Any or all core members of the Manson Family. Most preferably Charles Manson or Tex Watson. I don't want to kiss their asses or anything like that--I don't support their actions. Really, I'm not biased either way, because I don't know what happened on those hot August days. I wasn't there, obviously. There's always more than one side to every story, and I'd really like to hear everyone of them that I possibly can.

I'd like to take Woody Guthrie out to dinner. I can't explain my love for him, I really can't. It's funny how someone who died so long ago can be such an important part of your life and memories--even when you haven't met 'em. I'd tell and show him all of the things that have been invented or improved since his passing in 1967. I think that'd be interesting.

Bob Dylan, absolutely.

My choice would definatly be Edgar Allan Poe.
