If you could speak to one person from the past who would it be and why would you speak to them? For me, I would want to speak to Winston Churchill just to learn more about his actions in WWII.

I guess by famous I mean influential, and honestly, it can be anyone, just someone who made an impact, positive and negative, on the world.

That is a very profound yet amazing question that I have yet to find one answer for. There are so many important moments that have shaped our world for better or worse it is hard to define what is the most important one and who was the person who sent the action in motion. However, after much thought I would have liked to talk to a Templar Knights to know what secrets they had uncovered which made them so rich and later had them killed for.

I have always been fascinated by Napoleon. However, the guy was probably such and egotistical bastard (one of the things I actually like about him strangly enough) that he probably wouldn't grant my punny *** the time and he would not be that interested in me. Eva Peron is somebody else I also find very fascinating but would probably have the same problem with her as Napoleon. I must be fascinated by arrogant people. You could always pick someone like Hitler pre-war so you could shoot the bastard or something. I like Newton, but again think he would not have the time of day for me. After all this pondering I pick.....drumroll..... Thomas Paine. Great guy. Very influencial on the American Revolution, Smart, and nice guy. Would love to have a conversation with him. Wait, can we have sex with the person, if so I might want to change my answer. Just Kidding, Thomas Paine it is. Hey, he might be good in bed as well. Just kidding again. Ok, i am going to stop now because I am having way too much fun with this question.

If I wanted to talk to someone who made a semi negative impact on the world, I'd choose Doc Holiday because his name was John. Also to learn what's true and not true about him, his motivagtions and to get him to teach me, how to be as quick and clever as he was. Other wise, I'd probably choose John F. Kennedy, because his name was, John and learn several things from him.

I think it would be fantastic if you could bring Leonardo Da Vinci into modern times. He was such a genius with such an adaptable mind, I can't help but think he would adapt quickly and be fascinated by everything. Imagine talking with him and hearing his ideas and opinions of our world today. That would be amazing!
