It's tough to narrow it down to only 10. Though I'd probably just pick friends and family to be honest.

1. John Lennon
2. Jesus
3. Aristotle
4. Erwin Rommel
5. George Bush - so I could poison his salad
6. Winston Churchill
7. Dimebag Darrell
8. Teddy Atlas - for the analogies if nothing else.
9. Chief Geronimo or maybe Tecumseh, one of the great Native chiefs
10. Franz Boaz
