Some very cool choices up there - I particularly like Amelia Earhart. She lived such a cool life. I can think of lots of people I admire who I wouldn't trade lives with, but here's a few I'd love to have hung out with:
Merriwether Lewis
John James Audubon
Earnest Hemmingway
I agree with Dan that I'd like to have experienced the Earth when it was a true wilderness.

I pick three.
Galileo.
Vincent van Gogh.
Edmund Hillary.
How about you?

Charles Chaplin, or better yet to just hang around the set to watch him work. 
Hitler -- to sit down with him and ask him "why?" and that somehow he is compelled to speak the truth and answer honestly.
Dinosaurs -- to be put in a safe cave or hillside where I can watch them without getting hurt, watch them walk around and feed, etc...with the proviso that somehow I will be returned back in time to the present day. I wouldn't want to be left all alone with a bunch of dinosaurs!

Salvador Dahli I like his quote "I don't do drugs I AM drugs" I interpret that as he easily amuses himself.

This is a difficult choice. right away I thought of many names but, decided to be more thoughtful. Understanding the grass always looks greener.
Bill Gates, if I could take it, $$$ back with me. For my greedy side.
Mark Twain, for my new found love of reading.
Neil Armstrong, For a really different view of the world.

For finding within themselve answers and doing whatever it took
to follow thier dreams and taking the necessery actions.
Perseverance thur trial & mistakes and learning from them and
still moving forward no matter what. It didn't happened over night.
For being innovative, open and willing to try new ideas.
For not worrying so much about what others think..."it won't fly,
man can never fly", becuase others had failed. Even when the government
had ginving up.
They were NUTZ...

One I forgot...I'd love to be a normie for a day. I'd like to go out with friends and have a single glass of wine, and leave half of it there, and not obsess about it, nor stare all night long at the bar drooling like Pavlov's dog.

Hi Golden, I'm drooling already. Just kidding but, you bring up another intresting question for another thread. If, a pill became available so you could drink normally, would you take it and go back? Or, would you not bother, because the high would be missing. I'll leave it for you to start. Don W

I wouldn't want to risk it. Besides it would invariably be one of those pills you'd have to take every day for the rest of your life, and who wants to be that obsessive just to drink "normally". Being alcoholics, how long do you think it would be before that ole' demon justification reared his ugly head with," you don't need to take those pills, their just a placebo anyways...it's all in your head". :devil1:
