Interesting choices, especially Da Vinci IMO.. It seems that the majority have chosen a person of science and the other an historical figure; whether an explorer, man of action (warrior), or even a combination of the 2, etc.. I just enjoy seeing their names and remembering what set them apart from others in their field.

Mother Teresa

Albert (does he really need a last name?)

My Grandmother

Ben Franklin, most definitely

Stephen Hawking, absolutely

Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Mohamed...for a round table discussion on religion. Huh, I bet there'd be NO conversation as they'd all be in agreement

Hitler would be a twisted interview.

Ok, so I went over my allotted #...what cha gonna do 'bout that, huh?

Simple, I disregard all but the first two answers, this is my world
I had you pegged wrong too, I thought your number #1 entry would have been Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Your final and also unaccepted entry was also interesting, you're the first one that even attempted an infamous person. I have several of those I love to talk to as well.

 

[vibes]

Oh YES, Gandhi...most definitely his holiness the Dali Lama.

BUT...My most recent love is Buckminster Fuller.

Lizzy Borden, Jack the Ripper ...and Lee Harvey Oswald!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spartacus53]

Jacques de Molay

I was wondering if he was was related to Jacques Straop inventor of the athletic supporter

Lizzy Borden, Jack the Ripper ...and Lee Harvey Oswald!!!!!!!!!!!!

For infamous I would go with Richard Kuklinski, he is one scary S.O.B.

I'd like to drink a quart of sake with this guy and an interpreter

 

[spartacus53]

I wonder if he's not the same guy that caused that 60 mile traffic jam in China a few weeks ago.

 

[packerbacker]

You can barely see his gonads hanging along the side of his left leg in this pic! They are in a burlap bag

 

[spartacus53]

You're right about one thing, this guy had brass ones. I wonder what the heck he was thinking Maybe he thought they would never run him over because someone would have to pick him out of the treads later

I like the 60 mile traffic jam crack.

Have read this man who stopped the tanks is no longer "findable". They disappeared him.

My two people would be elephant hunter Karamojo Bell and American humorist Mark Twain. I have no use or interest in any political or religious figures.

I would like to meet Sacajawea and Pocahontas.

With these two chicks you couldn't use the excuse you were lost in the woods. This is what boys said before cars were invented so they could run out of gas.

SOOO many, but I would love to start with --> Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose. He was the 'first' to physically use radio , he predated Marconi and the rest, and is the father of plant Physiology and psychology. Many of his experiments and solutions are still unmatched today.

And Bharati Krishna Tirtha For his development of Vedic Math, an extremely simple system to solve complex math in your head.

Interesting you should mention that. I struggled all through high school with math. When I got to college my advisor recommend that I take a course in vedic math, so I did. BANG. Everything clicked after that. I ended up with an industrial engineering degree, with a dual minor in physics and mathematics... and went on to get an electrical engineering degree a couple of years later. I don't think I could have pulled any of that off without the understanding of vedic math.

When my step son was five years old I started preaching vedic math to him. By the time he started school when he was six he could already do square roots in his head. His teachers were amazed. By the age of eight he was doing differential equations in his head, and by the age of ten he understood the entire premise of Einstein's theory of relativity better than I did, and even pointed out mathematical errors in the theory that I had never noticed. He's now an 18 year old freshman at Georgia Tech majoring in astrophysics, all because of 19 concepts that don't really mean anything in the math world other than a mantra of how you think about math.

I'd like to talk to Bharati Krishna Tirtha also, if for no other reason than to thank him.

G'mornng Bigwater: it is nice to realize that I am not alone. Congrats on both teaching your son at an early age, which developed his mind and thinking processes. Later in life he will appreciate just what you have done for him, and also in explaining just how it helped you.

My father made me learn to read and write before I attended the first grade, originally I had trouble with "S", until he, in exasperation, finally explained it to me quite clearly, He said "S stands for spanking". However, because of this, I became an avid reader, which in turn shaped my mental development, My fort became spatial visualization. Vedic math was just 'because' it was 'there' and formed a challenge..
