If you had the opportunity to sit down for lunch with any famous person (dead or alive), who would you choose?

The following assume that there are no language barrier difficulties... Leonardo Da-Vinci would be on the shortlist for sure. A brilliant scientist, sculptor, painter, engineer, etc. When they coined the term "renaissance man" old Leo was surely who they had in mind. Another entry on my shortlist would go to Albert Einstein.

I'd really love to hear what he'd have to say about some of the modern theories physicists have come up with since his death, especially dark energy and its implications, super-symmetry, and the Next, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, aka Mahatma Gandhi. I would really appreciate an opportunity to discuss with one of the greatest peace-workers in the world some of the intensely troubling conflicts currently wracking our world and how grass roots activities can make a difference in resolving those.To round things off, having lunch with Warren Buffet and George Soros, two of the pre-eminent investors of our age, and possibly throughout history, would provide a tremendous education about our economy, where it is likely headed, and what one can do to maximize one's chances of financial success given the current situation.

Garth Brooks. I love music and I think his is awesome and he is HOT! I got to see him in concert, but boy to see him up close and hold a conversation with SHEWWWYY!LOL.

Shameless is what I would be, LOL flickr.com/photos/eelllcom/104558352/ youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0.

It would be fabulous to sit down to lunch with ANY famous person. I'm going to be greedy and choose one famous deceased - Mother Theresa. Then to complete this scenario I am going to choose one famous (rather notorious) living person - Charles Manson.

Lunch with a person filled with love and compassion and a person filled with diabolic hatred. A person who shared her life to better the world and a person who used his life to destroy others. Here's a luncheon date that could lead to better understanding, violence prevention, compassion, and every possible human emotion on this planet.

Audry Hepburn in her prime, just to see what she looked like in real life. Andre the Giant just to see how big he really was. J.D.Salinger cause I think he'd have some interesting comments to make about the modern world.

Andy Kaufman cause he just seems kinda insane and brilliant at the same time. Matthew Mark Luke and John just to hear that whole story straight from the horses' mouths, and see if they disagree on anything.

Marylyn monroe. Oh my god she is the most beutiful and sexy woman. I would love it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
