If you could...

Recommended Posts

After a drunken discussion had at the weekend, i ask this question:

 

 

 

If you could invite 5 people,dead or alive, to a party, who would it be and why did you choose them?

 

What questions would you ask them? Is there anyone you definatly wouldn't invite?

 

My five:

 

(1) John Bonham, (Drummer from Led Zeppelin). - Can think of hundreds of questions about Zeppelin i'd like to ask.

 

(2) Bob Marley, (Reggae legend). - Great musician, would be good to get his views on the world today.

 

(3)Jesus, (self explanatory). - What with being able to turn water into wine, the drinks would be taken care of.

 

(4)Jean Reno, (Actor). - All round cool guy, favourite actor.

 

(5) Colin McRae (Rally driver). - Got a few questions i'd like to ask him about his sport.

It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or below

I suppose it would be a pretty weak party with only 5 people but I shall answer anyway.

 

 

 

1. Martin Cathal (Probably the most famous of Irish gangsters, incredibly clever even though he left school at 13) [Dead]

 

2. Bobby Sands, probably the person I'd treat with the greatest of respect. [Dead]

 

3. My best friend Paul, died a month ago. [Dead]

 

4. George Bush, you have to have someone to take the piss out of.

 

5. Osama Bin Laden, get a fight going between him and bush.

Someone from 100 years into the future

 

Someone from 500 years into the future

 

Someone from 1000 years into the future

 

Someone from 2000 years into the future

 

Someone from 5000 years into the future

 

 

 

I'd really love to know what the human race has achieved in the future. That's the only issue I have with death, I won't get to see what happens afterwards.

 

I'd love to find out what new technology they have, and if we've had contact with any other species, gained interstellar travel etc.

 

Would be awesome.

Probably alive..

 

 

 

But really I wouldn't have a clue. I'd talk with some sportstars and comedians.

1. Confucius. Awesome guy?

 

2. J.R.R. Tolkien. Awesome author?

 

3. Jesus...

 

4. Leonidas. Um...Yeah.

 

5. Masahiro Sakurai. The guy in charge of Brawl and also voiced Dedede.

 

None of them speak the same language. :thumbup:

 

(Well, I forget, maybe Jesus knew some ancient Greek, Tolkien probably learned a ton of languages...)

Tbh you could just invite someone from 5000 years into the future, chances are they'll know the history of the human race.

 

I don't know who i would invite really, i think just people from my family, not the recently deceased ones, but the family members that died in 1800 or so.

Some people dream of success, while others make it happen.

People I'd like to meet in general... The Buddha, Tim Leary, Socrates, Banksy, Leonardo Da Vinci, an Egyptian Pharaoh or two, a tribal shaman, a prominent historian in the distant future, some intelligent life forms from other galaxies, and of course God himself.

Same here. I'm more curious to see how Earth has developed after another one million years, two million years, nine million years, etc.

I would invite Plato, Socrates, da Vinci, Julius Caesar, and Bill Gates. I would invite all of them because they all cater to my interests quite well, and all but Gates come from interesting time periods.

 

 

 

The first two for philosophy, and to ask questions about ancient Greece that history books can't answer (I love ancient history, except the Egyptians, they never captured my interest).

 

 

 

I would pick da Vinci for many reasons. First, many of his inventions were simply amazing, and a lot of the inventions he came up with, we still use today (helicopter, anybody?). Plus, I love reading about his time period, and I think he would be good to talk to about Renaissance Humanism. His abilities as an artist were amazing, maybe he could teach me how to draw better too?

 

 

 

If for nothing else, I would invite Caesar for his charisma and ability to speak to the people. He's one of the rulers that I didn't mind studying in school. He did a lot for Rome as well. I think there would be some very interesting conversations there.

 

 

 

As for Bill Gates, I hope to do programming as a career, so why not talk to the most successful programmer (so far) out there? Founding a company that started with a friend in a garage, to being worth over $58 billion (according to Wikipedia, I don't know what the real number is...I don't think anyone really does), he must have done something right. He started around my age as well. Given there was really no competition to overcome back then, or not like there is now, but it would still be incredibly enlightening.

So you sucker punched a kid in the back of the head? Good job.
What scares me is that you're like 10 years old.
-.- im not that freaking young
You were a couple years ago.
It's not racist if its true.
Hmm... I wonder how one goes about throwing someone out a window in a mystic fashion :-k

 

The mental image for that is freaking awesome.

1) Bill Hicks (comedian, dead)

 

2) Chuck Schuldiner (death metal legend, dead)

 

3) Albert Einstein (science genius, dead)

 

4) George Carlin (comedian, dead)

 

5) Frederick Sanger (double Nobel prize winning scientist, alive)

 

 

 

I'd probably split my time between talking to Schuldiner, Hicks and Carlin and talking to Einstein and Sanger.
