Name 4 people out of history you would have as dinner Guests and why...

Me?

1. Abe Lincoln= Just because I'm a Civil War buff.
2. Adolf Hitler= Talk about War, Tatics & Politics and ask him, WTH?
3. Winston Churchill = Deep conversation and a fine Cigar.
4. Alexander = Just Because.

Interesting. I wouldn't expect to find Churchill in a list with the other 3.

Theodore Roosevelt, because TR was the first President:
· to fly in an airplane
· to be submerged in a submarine
· to own a car
· to have a telephone in his home
· to travel outside the borders of the US while still in office. TR took the battleship USS Louisiana to Panama in 1906.
· to entertain an African-American in the White House, inviting Booker T. Washington to dinner
· the first AMERICAN as well as first President to win a Nobel Prize in ANY of the six categories - he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906.
Also TR founded:
· the first 51 federal bird sanctuaries
· the first 18 national monuments (including the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, Muir Woods and Devils Tower)

King Tutankhamun, because what was it like to be a boy-king in ancient Egypt with all those riches.

Benjamin Franklin, he was a genious, and quite the party animal.

I will have to think of the fourth one for now, don’t want to waste a choice.

Chuck Yeager = he was the fastest man in the world, what a tale that would be

John Singleton Mosby = somewhere along the line we're in the same family tree or so I've been told. Fascinating personality according to what I've read about him.

Will Harbut = would love to hear stories of "the mostest hoss"

General Patton = another member of the family tree (I've been told). Would love to see how closely they portrayed his personality in the movie "Patton."

1. John Chatterton- DUH!
2. Jacque Cousteau- Double Duh!

4. Last one is a tough call.... Might have to pick a dive buddy to take along to enjoy the experience.

OK so if you said no divers....
1. Ramses II (Ancient Egypt)
2. Jesus
3. Leonardo DaVinci - find out how much of the DaVinci Code is true
4. George Washington- we share a birthday.

(I've actually been asked this one before as which 5 people, and I picked Oprah as my 5th because I thought she might ask the other guests better questions than I would)
