If you could have 30 minutes to talk with ANYONE living or dead - who would you choose?

[Cre8ive]

I would choose Leonardo da Vinci whom I believe to be the single most influential person in history. His indescribable brilliance and insatiable curiosity enabled him to be the most prolific creator and innovator from engineering and science to anatomy. And last but not least - painting the single most popular and valuable painting every produced - the Mona Lisa

Can I say Jesus?

Can I say Jesus?

My first thought as well

 

[Chris Farley]

If not Jesus, maybe Moses.
This Old Testament course I have been taking in school has been really legit! Of course I learned about Moses as a child, but after really studying him in depth, I just find the whole story of Exodus to be so exciting! Him being born a Hebrew and then rising to be a Prince of Egypt is just amazing...and then the drive, self awareness, and love he has for his people; fueling him to choose to be a slave over enjoying the luxuries of royalty is just fascinating to me. There’s not many people like that. His leadership abilities are second to none and I always tend to gravitate towards other leaders. Lastly, his desire for and ability to talk to God himself is just awesome! There are many times where I wish I could speak to him and he to me. I know most of the time he is, I’m just not listening.
Anyway sorry for the rambling!

I feel you my friend. Jesus, Moses, God himself...I'd take 30 minutes with my late Brother, and it isn't close.

It would be hilarious if you actually had this opportunity and made this choice. And then ole Leonardo shows up speakin Italian and you have no idea WTF he's saying. Plus he has extremely bad BO and you spend the rest of your life regretting this decision

If my dad and I could just have one more beer together.

 

[Belezabro]

My Dad.

Same. Then Jesus. Dad died when I was 21 and he was a minister. So both figures very influential in my life.

 

[Hoppo]

I talk to enough people as it is. Too many, really. I don't need to reach through history to be subjected to even more.

Either of my grandfathers. Maternal one died when I was 8, paternal one died when I was 13. I'd love to just chew the fat with either/or and give them a big hug.

You funny boy @quickfeet - everyone had extremely bad BO back then, thus no one had BO. Everything stanketh.

Thomas Jefferson to help him fill in any loop holes the bad guys use to circumvent the constitution and institute term limits. My dad would understand my choice and would support it.

My Dad.

I dread that day. We try to talk and laugh every day on the phone. When I go to Orlando for work he comes over from Tampa and stays with me. I also save all his voice mails. I feel for you brother.

Jesus - I don't know if I could even talk
My Dad - just passed late last year from a sudden stroke, I'd give about anything for 30 mins

Just for kicks
DB Cooper - did you make the jump?
Bigfoot - are you real?
Aliens - where did you come from, let me see your ride
