Talking to my ancestors would be ideal. Hard to pick just three. If I could follow the lineage on both sides of the family, and talk to each person, that would be ideal. These meetings would have the most meaning to me.
I would start with my paternal great grandfather, my maternal grandfather, and my great, great paternal grandfather.
If it had to be someone famous, the three would be Jesus, Beethoven, and Frederick Douglass.
That's what Im thinking.
I think I would want one to be the very first of my ancestors that came to the US. #2 and #3 would just be ancestors from earlier times. Maybe 1500's for 1 and even earlier for the other.
Giaus Julius Ceaser - have some wine - talk politics and tell him to watch his back on March 15
Aristotle - have some wine and tell him to avoid angering soldiers and keep up the work on infinitesimals.
The original Cleopatra - Front runner for babe of all time - why not, I might get lucky
The original Cleopatra was the wife of Meleager, and probably not who you're thinking of.
You're probably referring to Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and despite many of the actresses who've played her she was actually rather plain looking. The reason why the great Romans were drawn to her was because of her brains and personality, not her looks. Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony had plenty of access to gorgeous women ; Cleopatra VII OTOH was really intelligent and charismatic, and that's what drew them in. She wasn't the "babe of all time", but she was a fascinating character.
Just thought of this right now after reading a post about JFK. Maybe this doesn't belong in this forum, but I'm curious.....who would you want to sit down & have dinner with & just shoot the....well, shoot with? I guess they can be living or dead. Let's say you get three choices. For me it would be: Hitler, FDR & I suppose Clinton.
I like your choices.Bill would be a riot. I'd pick Moses instead of FDR and ask him if he really parted the red sea and then i'd end the meal by stabbing Hitler through the eye and following up by removing his head!
My top picks for a sit down dinner would be:
Fidel Castro-want to know what makes him tick.
Russ Meyer-great filmmaker and way ahead of his time. he has to have some real good stories about the woman in his films.
Machaveli-Italian political consultant and strategist. This guy has some real good advice on keeping tabs on people and for the attainment of political power.
