5 people you'd want to have a conversation with

[NoisyDante]

Thought this would be interesting.  What 5 people would you like to have a group conversation with?  Alive or dead.

Mine in no particular order:

James Hetfield
Gary Rydstrom (sound designer/mixer/Director at Pixar)
Steven Spielberg
Peter O'Toole
Mario Lemieux

I could have picked Aristotle or Leonardo Da Vinci, but really what kind of conversation would that be?  "Remember that time you drew the Vitruvian Man?  That was awesome."


how many people will put Rossi on their lists?

[superjohn]

Hmm....5 people.....

Jesus
Hitler
Andre the Giant
Mohammed (the prophet not Ali)

I figure the complete WTF moment with the first 4 may just be enough to convince the latter to leave with me.

but for a serious discussion...not sure who'd I want to talk with, as it'd depend on what the topic is and the benefit I'd be seeking with said conversation....
