10 Favourite Dinner Guests from all history

[X]

Right, imagine that you having 10 people around for dinner. Who woud you choose if you had a time machine like Bill and Ted's. Don't post an answer immediately, as this needs some thought. You couldn't have too many people form one discipline or field as the conversation would only be about that subject. What would you want to talk about? Who would stimulate new ways of thinking by another, who would you like to meet?

One proviso, they all have to be real people who actually existed.

Here goes, a starter, in no particular order.

Gautama, the Buddha
Hannibal the Great
Leonardo da Vinci
Genghis Khan
Jesus Christ
Pharoah Akhetanon
Charles Darwin
Joseph Stalin
Nelson Mandela
Raleights (or Violent Demise as long as he's not vegetarian)

I would also ask Hitler, but only for coffee as I would nto want him around while I was eating.

[CutMeMick]

Hitler would have ALL of you killed right after his afternoon tea.

I would have the following over for dinner;

1. Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas'
2. George Lopez
3. Robert Nesta Marley
4. 2 Pac
5. Marilyn Monroe
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Alfred Hitchcock
8. Stephen King
9. George Washington

and my guest of honor would be Bill Clinton.

1 Ali
2 Einstein
3 John Belushi
4 John Lennon
5 Da Vinci (only so I could quiz him on recent questions that have arisen cos of the film)
6 Billy The Kid
7 Tommy Cooper (how could you not !)
8 Cleopatra
9 Abe Lincoln
10 Jordan (token dirty bitch to have a pop at after dessert - don't fancy her in the slightest but I'd be pissed and I reckon she does trap two without two hours of begging and pleading beforehand )

[Von Milash]

I have very few hereos/idols. Basically, nothing interests me.

But I wouldn't mind having the following people over...

Shania Twain
Curtis Joseph
Don Cherry
Jacques Villeneuve

[raleights]

Hunter S. Thompson (while he was on some sort of hallucinogen preferably)
Carlos Maussa (aka Gollum)
Ghandi
Ted Kaczynski
Jebus (the artist formerly known as Jesus)
Garey Busey
Scott Weiland (not the post rehab version)
Flava Flav
Jerry Falwell
The last one is a draw between X and Timothy Mcvay (maybe X provided he doesn't go too far with the witticisms)
