Dining With The Dead

[Phogfan86]

Lao Tse, Jefferson Davis and Mel Blanc

Sorry. He said three people. No way Mel Blanc counts as just one person.

[fortcollinsjerry]

Mine would be;

Gengus Kahn
Bob Hope
Leonardo da Vinci

[randal]

Lao Tse, Jefferson Davis and Mel Blanc

I forgot to mention why

Lao Tse- wonder where he got his inspiration from

Jefferson Davis- the reluctant leader (and distant relative) to find the real reasons behind his decisions

Mel Blance- just because it's Mel Blanc

Jesus, He throws a heck of a dinner party!
Caligula= same reason.
John Browning. Just to say thanks.

My great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and (yup you guessed it) great-great-great-grandfather.

[Jock Scot]

I have dined with John Browning's grandson,does that count? For Todd, Viscount Slim was my God father and I have dined with him often,so I suppose they don't count as they are/were alive!. So my three are;

Mahatma Gandhi.
Napoleon.
Sir Barnes Wallace.

Slim of Burma was your God father?

My grandfather served in the China-Burma-India Theatre of WWII, and was a great admirer of the British & Commonwealth forces who he served with the 14th Air Force.

Slim, INMHO, is one of the greatest generals in WWII, and even military history. He & 14th Army certainly does not get the credit they deserve for holding the Japanese in SE Asia -- no doubt the American campaigns in the Pacific would have been even more difficult had Slim not been there.

I am in awe, Jock.

Todd

[Big Mikey]

My choices would include:

John Molson

Basil Rathbone

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

[pdcorlis]

Well lets see...

Albert Einstein
Winston Churchill
Mary Stuart

[ThistleDown]

What three famous people, either living or dead, would you most like to have dinner with? And why?

James VI -- to experience at first hand his extreme eccentricity, his understanding of his role in society and his view of the future
Alfred Adler -- just to bask (?) in what he never put on paper but others have attributed to him
Adam Smith -- acknowledging his philosophy and those of his generation, to query our path over the past 200 years.

Oh, I would so like this to have been more than three, but what a suprb question, Rathdown.
