This question is asked over and over again, but here I am to ask it once more, because I enjoy it.

If you could meet one person in history, who would it be? Would you say anything in particular to them?

 

All the best,

Sarah

I would like to meet Graham Bell, and ask him " Do you really think that this device will be a good invention? And do you believe that one day almost everybody will use it even while walking?" "Which name will you give it if one day they can invent mobile version of your device?"  Smile [:)])

Can I only meet one person in history KY ? Just the two of us having a talk.
How much more interesting would it be to be sitting at a table sharing a meal with say, six people from history, listening to how their conversation goes.
Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhummad, Hitler, Mao and Eleanor Roosevelt.
(Not listed in order of my interest, but in order of their apperance in history.)
I reckon Eleanor would lighten things a bit.

Well I think they would be:

Adam&Eve: Just to look at them.
Muhammad: Her his voice and touch him.
Pharaoh: Ask him how were the waters of the NIL river
Samson: Admire his strenght
Juda Escariot(the apostle who is said to have betrayed Jesus): Just to look into his eyes.
Abraham Lincoln: Ask him what he thinks of the world's current situation.
Albert Einstein: Tell him to hide his next invention.
Louis Pasteur: Ask him to help the world out with the aids.
Hirohito: Tell him he did the right thing to surrender.
Winston Churchill:
