Brian Greene or Ed Witten, they're two of the people I most admire, we'd talk about string theory and all sorts of good stuff like that. Or rather, they'd talk and I'd listen. :)

Do these people have to be alive right now, or could they be long-dead historical figures?

Robbert Bakker, Gregory S. Paul and John Ostrom.

For old, old, historically old dead guys I'd say Charles Darwin and Thomas Henrey Huxley.

Staley was running very well the entire first half, and on the opening drive in the second half. Then he starts throwing the ball as we get down towards the end zone, and McNabb tosses that fucking pick. This loss isn't entirely his fault (SIX DROPPED PASSES), but getting away from the run when the run is working is just stupid. Hell, if it wasn't for 4th-and-26, not running the ball would have killed us last week, too.

I'd like to meet Hitler, apparently he was quite interesting in person. I also find him fascinating.

That actually would be interesting. Not because of any respect towards the monster, but just out of the sheer historical value...and the chance to kick him square in sie Hoden.

edit: changed 'nutzen' to the proper word...

One of the things that makes talking to him appealing is that I share some of his philosophies, not the fascist stuff of course, one of the best is summed up in this quote:

Scroll down to the quote that begins with:

Sorry about that, just go to google and type: gould hitler "lord bless our battle"

That should come up with the right thing.

Didn't he punch someone in the face when they asked him about the moon? You might want to wear some headgear, just in case. :D

Stanely Kubrick. I'd like to ask him where he got such great mind-altering drugs.
