That is a fairly easy one as well:

LadyWendy,

Epona
Melusinchen

Hence those of my online friends I am fondest of, but not have had the privilege to meet in person yet. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And last but not least: my future girlfriend/fiance/wife/widow. The last capacity is the most important to me as I am very vain and want to be properly mourned over. :D ;)

1) Winston Churchill
2) Ronald Reagan (before alzheimers struck)
3) Howard Carter
4) Stephen Hawking
5) Adolf Hitler (to put a couple of .45 slugs in his head)

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] I know for a fact that you are not the only one.

1. My grandfather (he died before I was born - in fact, my mom never even met him, he died when my dad was 16.)
2. Jerome Iginla, my idol (c'mon guys, hockey player, best guy in the league outside of the net ;) ) {braces for angry response from other fans}
3. Mother Theresa, really great woman, no doubt one of the best people, morally, to ever live.
4. johnny, course he'd probably be kinda scary in real life [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]
5. Mel Brooks. What a funny guy :D

There are probably more, but that comes to mind. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Five people...

1. My maternal grandfather. He passed away when I was 18, and from what I know now, I'd be able to learn a lot from him.

2. Jon Van Caneghem. Creator of the MM series, started with nothing and built a ton. NWC is going toast now, but what a ride...

3. Zig Ziglar. Motivational speaker and salesperson extraordinaire, he's made a second career out of talking about what he loves. I'd like to get some of that..

4. Thomas Edison. The utmost in creative thinking and finding new ways to solve things.

5. Lou Gherig, baseball player. Consummate professional and a man who lived his life doing what he loved.

1. My grandmother (she died when I was very young, so I never got a chance to know her, she was a nice lady :D )
2. William Wallace (Great man in the history books)
3. Stephen King (Great books, inspiration to a young writer)
4. Tom Green
5. Don Dokken

I'm not sure if i should be somewhat honored or very dissapointed to see my name on the same list as Mother Theresa. :D

Well, johnny, how do think Mother Teresa feels? *cough* *cough*

--------------------

to the above posts:

I think Jesus qualifies as people (he WAS incarnated as a human) but god - nonono

for me (not given very much thought of the last three but these are the first that spring to my mind)

1.) Erich Kästner (german writer born in 1899 and lived through both world wars)
2.) Mohandas K. Gandhi
3.) Sokrates
4.) Pope John XXIII
5.) Karl Marx

Nobody actually.

1. Dwain Chambers - 100m sprinter and the England Squad's captain in the previous Commonwealths. I'd love to shake his hand and tell him, despite what others have said, he did a great job.
2. Mahatma Gandhi - Just to see if I can get him to take a 2-by-4 to my back ;)
3. Lee Evans - But I don't want to get too close, and I'd bring a towel [img]tongue.gif[/img]
4. William Shakespeare - In the words of Rowan Atkinson, "That's for every schoolboy and schoolgirl for the next few hundred years" ;)
5. Myself at 65.

lets see....

*after 1 second of thinking its decided*

1.Shakira
2.Shakira
3.Shakira
4.Shakira
5.hmmm....? (Shakira)

Nice list! [img]smile.gif[/img] There's a poem by Kästner that I really like, it's called "Ein Kubikkilometer genügt" - do you know it?

Anyway, here's mine... I think

1. Mozart
2. Whoever it was that wrote Beowulf, or whoever it was that wrote Wulf and Eadwacer
3. John Donne
4. Oscar Wilde
5. Well, I met some of my best online friends at Claude's get-together and I thoroughly enjoyed it, met Yorick before that too, and have met Groj about 6 or 7 times I think. But there are still some people I've known for two years here that I've never met, mostly because they're so far away (Australia, America etc) and I think it'd be great to meet them. Maybe after I've become a learned professor and actually get paid to visit universities there... well I can dream, can't I? :D

I wish this was a top ten BTW :D

</font>[/QUOTE]I know and like that one as I can say for most of his poems. It's sad that he's always ridiculed as a children's books author although his books for children are great (entertaining and wise).

My favourite poems are in no intended order
"Jahrgang 1899"
"Wenn wir den Krieg gewonnen hätten"
"Dem Revolutionär Jesus zum Geburtstag"
"Kennst du das Land wo die Kanonen blühn"

I'm sure I missed some great ones but the first three of my list regularly make me cry (which is extremely hard to achieve).

Hullo everyone! I don't hang out in this forum a lot, but I thought that I'd pop by and disturb the peace and whatnot.

The top five who I'd like to me are (in no particular order):

1) Winston Churchill
2) Edgar Allan Poe
3) William Manchester
4) Mozart
5) My grandfather, Sydney, who died before I was born.

1) My future wife
2) My future kids
3) My future pets
4) Benevolent extraterrestrial beings - to sit and chat about this world, the universe and anything else

That's enough meetings for me. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Martin Luther King JR. -To see him speak live.

Jimi Hendrix -To see him perform live.

Gary Gygaxx -To play D&D with him, he's the guy who invented D&D.

Thomas Jefferson- To find out what he thinks of hemp prohibition, he did grow the stuff.

Zacharia Sitchen- To discuss all the evidence of ancient astronauts he reveals in his many books

1) Jesus - just to hang out and pound a few bottles of free wine, I'll even bring the water. (betcha miracle wine is REALLY good)

2) Julius Caesar - to tell him his biggest legacy was a salad and warn him about the ides of march.

3) Napoleon - so I could play the "short people" song for him and tell him "Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and especially never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line".

4) Richard III - just before Bosworth field, so I could find out what happened to those poor kids and get a ringside seat to the battle.

5) Budda - so I could rub his belly.

6) Ghengis Khan - Anyone who can whip up on pretty much EVERY civilization of his period is someone I'd like to meet.

7) J. R. R. Tolkien - just to shake his hand and say "thanks".

8) Washington & Jefferson - to talk politics of course.

9) Mozart - I'd give him a Steinway and see what he could do with it.

10) Robert Jordan - to give him a slap upside the head and tell him "GET ON WITH IT MAN!"

No particular order:


Living:
1- Jimmy Carter
2- Pope John Paul II
3- Dalai Lama (sp)
4- a German or Japaneese soldier who fought in WWII (I've met many Allied ones)
5- John Nash


Dead:
1- George Patton
2- Einstein
3- Plato
4- Socrates
5- Beethoven
