See, now I agree he conned Alexandra, but not Nicholas. He just allowed him to occupy his nutso wife (whom he dearly loved) because he was busy with a country in high revolt.Quote:

So, you assume Socrates exists and the Socratic dialogues are more than teaching tools?Quote:

Course we could start the really fun debate on whether any of us truly exist. Or perhaps you're all figments of my imagination.
Nah... I couldn't possibly have that strange of an imagination. :p
(Sorry for the thread hijack, but I couldn't resist)
:)
As fun as these exchanges may be, please keep things on-topic.
And try to list at most three historical figures. A shopping list is a bit much. I've got a shopping list of historical people I'd like to sit and chat with, but tippy-top on that list is Ben Franklin.
#2 is Niccolo Machiavelli
#3 is Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla and Isaac Asimov.
I would love to hear Nikola talk about Isaac's flights of fantasy.
And I wouldn't mind having Ben Franklin thrown into the mix, either. Although I think that I would have to hide the ale from him after a couple few.
I don't think ********** of Nazareth's existence is in debate, only his divinity.Quote:

Mark Twain

Thomas Huxley
1. The Supreme being.
I don't list any others. If I get dinner with this one, I won't need to talk to anyone else. :D
J. Edgar Hoover
Nostradamus
Alexander,
Sun Tzu,
Miyamoto Musashi
Any, or even better, all of the above, and of course a perfect universal translator.
Oooh, Nostradamus! He could tell you what you were going to have for dessert two courses ahead of time. Heheh. j/k. Neat pick.
Norton I, deo gratia Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.
Hatchepsut, the only woman to rule Egypt as Pharoah.
Hypatia, the last curator of the Library of Alexandria
Forget it. You are *not* weaseling out of the fine for that overdue scroll....Quote:
