Congratulations! You are given the chance to host a lunch of your dreams. Barring family members, friends, or acquaintances, (whom will be available for dinner) you need to decide who will be in attendance.
You may choose any three people from any time in history. No fictional characters, please. Differing language, customs, and dietary differences will not be a factor. You may not change who they are, nor what occurred during their lives, but you may ask them most anything- within bounds of polite society, please.
Who will you choose?
To help understand, please list your choices and WHY you chose these individuals. Please try to space your choices throughout time instead of stagnating a one point in history. It makes things more interesting for those reading your choices.
Bon Appetite!

Discussion is indie cinema.
Charles Darwin, Bertrand Russell, and Richard Dawkins.
Discussions to include the evolution of man, faith and the loss of it, and knowledge vs. belief.
It would be glorious to see Darwin recognize his own vindication.
Bill Clinton
Willie Nelson
Louis C.K.
Oh the stories and the laughs.
Jane Austen, Alan Rickman, and Anne Hathaway.
Mr. Rickman played Colonel Brandon in the Jane Austen movie Sense and Sensibility. Ms. Hathaway played Jane Austen, herself, in the movie Becoming Jane. I’d like to hear what Ms. Austen says about these portrayals of one of her characters, and of herself, to see if she thinks they came close.
Alexander the great, Napoleon and Hitler.
To see how they would react to one another.
First on the list would be Jesus Christ, why not? He created everything for the lunch and I want to know some of the mysteries that are not in the bible.
Second would be Adam, I want to know if he was pussy whipped so much as to take the fruit from Eve, to believe her more than God.
The third, well……it would be a crapshoot; there are plenty of people one could choose. It would have been Marilyn Monroe because I felt she was so emotionally needy I could have gotten a quickie out of her, but now, I guess it would be Ross Perot, to pick his mind on business.
Richard Dawkins – For his insights on the fact of evolution
Neil DeGrasse Tyson – For his insights on Astrophysics and general enthusiasm for scientific reality
Son Goku – because he is a super saiyan
Secondary list would be:
Loki – because his pranks and jokes would be hilarious
Hercules – he brings some exotic Hydra meat
Odysseus – he can tell stories about his adventures
Frank Lloyd Wright
Jack Kirby
Johannes Gutenberg

Charles Proteus Steinmetz
People think Tesla did all the work for AC theory and that he was the man responsible for illuminating the world but it could not have happened without steinmetz He actually deserves most of the credit
Bach
Van Cliburn

The discussion topic would be the musical scale and ancient tuning vs. modern tuning.
Geoffrey Chaucer, the mystery person who did the Lascaux paintings, and Emily Dickinson, talking about innovations and ideas.
Edward Teach
Claus Von Stauffenberg

Let the splendid randomness begin…
@ucme Baaahahaha Edward Teach, nice. That’s it, I’m coming over to your place for dinner when this happens.
Groucho, Harpo and Chico (and maybe Zeppo and Gummo, if they happened to drop by).
