And now I'm thinking about "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure".

5

Nikola Tesla
Charles Darwin
John Muir
Isaac Newton
Stephen Hawking
Socrates
Karl Marx
Hypatia
Susan B. Anthony

4

My Dad
My Granma
WC Fields
Churchill
JFK
Lee Harvey Oswald
Anne frank
Dr Martin Luther King
Henry the eighth
Fred Flintstone

4

Bob Marley
Chris Hitchens
Jesus of Nazareth
Ghandi
Carlos Castaneda
W.E.B Dubois
Prince (the musician)
Marcus Garvey
Confucius
Jimi Hendricks.

If one wasnt available, I would ask Timothy Leary.

the virgin Mary ( to find out who Jesus'real dad was.)
Carl Sagan
George Carlin
Albert Einstein
Richard Pryor
Boudacia

I don't think I could stand 10 people, but. Rimbaud, Bruce Lee, Patton, Silvia plath, hank Williams, mother Teresa, napoleon, Oscar Wilde, Crowley, ted bundy and gengis Kahn. How's that for being ecclectic?

  • George Carlin
  • the two old guys in the balcony on the Muppets
  • Howard Wolowitz
  • Hank Aaron
  • Yogi Berra
  • Ted Williams
  • Nina Hartley
  • Darth Vader
  • my pug Frank

wait.....I want to replace the two old guys from the Muppets with Wile E Coyote and Neil Degrasse Tyson. Maybe with Mr Tyson and Mr Wolowitz they can show Wile E Coyote a way to get the Road Runner.

3

Lessee... Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Duane Allman, Dimebag Darrel, Miles Davis, my old buddies Lee and Ronnie and Whop Frazier (RIP) and my homie Josh.

3

My 2 kids, Einstein, Francis Bacon, Douglas Adams, Robin Williams, Tim Minchin, Carl Sagan, Dick Smith,Hypatia. This is looking like a sausage fest, I was trying to get it gender balanced for the orgy after. Sadly it shows that through out history, men have dominated the sciences. I know there have been women in the field, but Marie Curie bores me.

3

My kid's
My ex wife
Stephen Hawking
Barack and Michele Obama
My mother
JFK

  5. My great grandpa Gonzalo who had to file the form for a military headstone for grandpa Edward, his son, and who was my dad's dad.
  6. My childhood friend Melba who died 2 yrs ago.

@Jnei Oh, indeed! <3

I don't do dinner parties, and hate being invited to them as well. As for famous people, I'd rather remember them as they were portrayed in history, since few were pleasant to meet in real life.

I was thinking that when I saw several people include Churchill in their lists. Really not a very pleasant person [independent.co.uk]

1

Harold II, William the Conqueror, Emma of Normandy, Harald Hardrada, Edward the Confessor, Winston Churchill, David Hume, John Locke and James Mill.

Who are these people? Non-famous people-I don't even have 10 friends, lol. Famous people, Richard Dawkins only.

You have many friends on this site! 🙂

@Jnei Thanks.
