Took Michelangelo, Malcolm X, Darwin, Tarentino and Socrates

Einstein/Newton would be in it, but i doubt that would be a good conversation.

Why those people?

My reasons

1. Napoléon Bonaparte

Greatest military mind in history. A self made man that dragged himself up from mediocrity in Sardinia and made himself and Empire out of nothing. Enspiringly charismatic.

2. Ernest Hemingway

One of the greatest English writers of all time. An real man's man, an outdoorsman and a fierce alcholic.

3. Pablo Picasso

Possibly the most influential artist of the last 200 years. I don't actually fancy his work all that much but he is such a mesmerising character and bit of a bastard and lech.

4. Amadeus Mozart

A bit erratic and weird but the most sublimely talented musician of all time. Also an alcoholic.

5. Salvador Dali

Insane and poignant. Who wouldn't like to sip on absinthe with this man?

I'd probably have Napoleon on my list as well. Also Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Quentin Tarantino for the drinks, then Bob Marley for the more greener stuff. :ph34r:

Why those people?

Sup with all the alocoholics spike :)

Michelangelo

Amazing artist (sculptures, paintings, poets) + architect, must've been a really chill person and one i wouldve loved to talk with prolly. Although poets was more of a hobby for him his sonnets even inspired the likes of Shakespeare.

Malcolm X

From criminal (10 year prison) to one of the most important people that fought for civil rights. He mustve seen a lot... amazing person.

Darwin

To discuss some of my own intresses + he was a really down to earth/nice guy, not many scientists like that, his friend Lyell can join too :)

Socrates

Well great philosopher and one i really like, especially his paradoxes make me think. Whats so nice about him/plato (his student)/Aristotles and many other greece people during that time (-500/500 ac) is that they were so enlightned, if you compare this to the last 1500 years its quite schocking how bad humanity can take a turn (especially during the medivals), how narrowminded people were last 1500 years is quite sad. Its not comprehensable (well it is but in a matter of speaking) for me that guys who invented loads of stuff in math/astronomy,... with just their brains can turn into brainless witch slayers.

Tarentino

Well no need for an intro, would be one heck of a drink prolly :)

This will probably be the most 'generic' and least thought-out list thus far, but my 5 would be:-

1. Frank Sinatra

2. Miles Davis

3. Bruce Lee

4. Leonardo da Vinci

5. 'Lucky' Luciano
