Or would this be one of those dinners that a couple married of 20+ years has, where it's just one long uncomfortable silence, complimented by massive alcohol intake.

For me, assuming they were able to hang out for a while and see how the world has changed I would:

George Washington Carver - I would ask George if he ever smoked Marijuana and if he thinks it's ridiculous that it has been made illegal via the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. I'd ask him if this is the United States he had imagined. Then I'd rent a jet ski and cross the Potomic with him just so I could say I did.

Benjamen Franklin - I'd ask Ben if he insulated himself when he discovered lightening and electricity were related by tying a key to a kite string during a thunderstorm, or was that experiment a myth. Then I'd ask him his feelings on how many consider Alessandro Volta to be the father of electricity. After that, I'd force him to watch National Treasure to find out what he thought of the other myths Hollywood has created about him. Oh, and did he really make George's papers to smoke weed with?

Thomas Jefferson - I'd ask if he smoked weed and for his thoughts on industrial hemp, which is what the Constitution was signed on, being outlawed for growing in the United States without a special Drug Enforcement Administration permit. I'd want to know his thoughts on big business and on the government taxing everything and anything we do that is legal. Is our current state of freedom what he had in mind? Then I'd offer him a bong rip even though I quit smoking almost three years ago. But I'd do it with Tom if he was cool with it.

Adolf Hitler- i would ask him what is his overall personal goal not what he has fed the masses.. the real niddy gritty. i would then talk to him about how flawed his aryan race idea is and how the original aryan race were of middle eastern descant and were dark skin with no nordic features. how the real aryans were nothing more then a nomadic tribe that were the 1st to settle and make use of agriculture technology given rise to early mans civilization...

Emmanuel(aka bejebus if he was real)- i would ask jesus what he thinks of hitlers ideas and how accurate is he and my explanation of early man and the aryan race. i would ask him if he were god made flesh ad what does he think of society and how we can change it to fit more into the godly idea of peace and compassion.... what political/ corporate figures or ideas, and projects go against his beliefs .

Albert Einstein- albert eisntien what is his spiritaul beliefs and if sitting here eating with these two figures coincide with his predetermined beliefs? i would talk to him about quantum physics and see how much he understands and what he beliefs is possible.. i would then again ask Emmanuel if either of us is right in our science views and what specifically is inaccurate.

i would then ask that none of us leave until we can all compromise and reach some sort of agreement with one another's point of view.

oh we would also talk about aliens.

[b]William James - one of the fathers of experimental psychology, one of the original people to try and bring the study of human behaviour into the lab. Said lots of things about action and perception that was at least a century ahead of its time. I would be interested in learning the motivational context for his work, where he was comming from and his philosophy on things like consciousness and materialism/reductionism. I'd love to hear his perspective on new movements like cognitive neuroscience, social cognition and evolutionary psych.

Marquis de Sade - Author and sexual deviant, possibly one of the highest exemplars of freedom in history. Not necessarily a good person, but one who was willing to satisfy all of his desires. His criticisms of the state, church, and most other institutional or authoritative structures makes him an anarchist and an atheist in a time when such philosophies were essentially unheard of (or at least not in the way they are today). I'd be most interested in his stories, his rationalizations for his, lets face it, evil actions (I believe he raped and kidnapped a couple of individuals, also assaulted some hookers), but also, I would love to hear the ideas of a cynic, locked up for sodomy, who lived during a time of massive political revolution and violence.

"Otzi" the Iceman - Found frozen in Europe, Otzi is a mummified remain of a human from over 5000 years ago. Rather than just ramble about how incredible he is, as a scientific find, I will link the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi_the_Iceman. Unlike the previous 2, who as individuals are important to my beliefs, Otzi represents more of a culture that I am very curious of. Even just to watch the natural behaviours of man from 5000 years ago would be magnificent. Ignoring the obvious communication problems, just to learn how life was for man at that point, from one who lived it, would be monumentous. [/B]

your kidding right. hes a top contender for the most digustingly evil creature alive on earth right now.

the dinner would of course be outside the boundaries of time

1. Siddhartha Gautama:- Already met him on the Astral, but in material form it would be more realistic.
2. Einstein:- this would be a deep discussion
3. Eve:- so I could shag her and be the father of humanity, then we would need God´s help.
