If you could bring 5 famous people back from the dead...

[Father Heathen]

If you could bring 5 famous people back from the dead who would you choose and why? By famous I mean historical figures, world leaders, celebrities, musicians, athletes, etc. You can't choose any deceased family, friends, etc. as that would be too obvious. And by resurrect I mean restored to life in youthful, young adult bodies.

[Twilight Hue]

Joey, Johnny, and Dee Dee Ramone. Alan Watts and Shunryu Suzuki.

 

[Nerthus]

Shakespeare, Dickens, Jack the Ripper, Henry VIII, George Harrison.

 

[elmarna]

Leonardo davinci - for his mystery, muse, and talent
Imhotep - for his ways of looking at medicine in primitive brillence.
Abraham Lincolin - for his insights of humanity that ignighted the belief in a humanity equal and willing to support it. (I feel he deserves to see the afterlife of the peoples from his deeds)
Wovoka - for the resolution to a way of peace and a world of him cut down before he could call upon the peoples to the same resound as martin Luther King.
And last is someone famous but not a person - George a female Thylasine ( (a tasman tiger) the last 1 in captivity and possibly the last of her speicies. So misunderstood they did not even understand it was a female! So much we could learn. With embryodic research we may even be able to right the wrong by making them extinct!

Hitler, Jesus (assuming he ever lived), Muhammad, Siddhartha, and Heraclitus...all in the same room at the same time.

 

[sandandfoam]

Ayrton Senna, David Jefferies, Maco Simoncelli, Joey and Robert Dunlop.

They all had a lot left to do.

 

[Noaidi]

John Muir, Edward Abbey, Bob Marley, Charles Darwin and Carl Sagan.

 

[Iti oj]

Edison, Einsteins, Darwin, Reinman, Sun Tzu (if he was real) other wise.... Twain

 

[DreadFish]

Hmm, fun question, let me think...


I would like to meet Siddhartha...
Jimi Hendrix
Probably Jesus
Maybe En No Gyoja, assuming he's more than a myth of a man, he seems very interesting
and Probably Padmasambhava



I think that besides Siddhartha and Jimi Hendrix, the other ones could change depending on how I feel

 

[dawny0826]

Chopin (I'd like to kiss him for his Etude No. 3 in E Major.)
Jane Austen (She's brought me comfort on many a sad days through James Darcy.)
Iris Murdoch (In her younger years. She's fascinating.)
Kevyn Aucoin (We could play with color together.)
Layne Staley (I think I would have liked to sing with him. I think he needed a hug.)

 

[Renji]

Pope John Paul II- The church needs him VERY MUCH right now...
Charles Dickens- So that I could meet him personally and tell him that I enjoy his books very much.
Steve Jobs- to see if he can think of creating more cool apps and gadgets.

 

[DreadFish]

Steve Jobs- to see if he can think of creating more cool apps and gadgets.

Jobs is given too much credit: Dennis Ritchie: The shoulders Steve Jobs stood on - CNN.com

Without this guy, Jobs wouldnt have been able to do what he did. Without this guy, you wouldnt have been able to post on the internet that you would bring back Jobs to see what kind of cool stuff he could make

 

[Storm]

da Vinci - Love to see what he'd come up with in modern times!
Pythagoras - to explain why logos and mythos are not in conflict
Jesus - to smack down those who invoke His name while ignoring His teachings
Jefferson - for similar reasons as Christ
Einstein - 'nuff said!

 

[Shia Islam]

Fatima, her father (prophet Muhammad), her husband (Imam Ali), and her two sons (Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain)...

They are the closest people to god...

 

[dyanaprajna2011]

Siddhartha Gautama-should be obvious
Bodhidharma-same reason
Cliff Burton-because Metallica needs a wake-up call
Diogenes of Sinope-because the world needs a wake-up call
Thomas Jefferson-because America needs a wake-up call

 

[Draka]

Marilyn Monroe
Freddie Mercury
Patrick Swayze
Princess Diana
Heath Ledger

Okay, I'm not all profound or searching the past for great leaders or religious figures. Just some people I thought brought joy into the lives around them, and who ever saw them, whose lives were cut too short.

 

[Trey of Diamonds]

• Robert A. Heinlein (my favorite author)
• Stevie Ray Vaughn (because we need more blues)
• Thomas Jefferson (though that might be cruel to him considering the current state of the country he loved)
• Genghis Khan (Asia could use a strong leader)
• Mohammed (maybe he can bring peace to the Middle East)

 

[England my lionheart]

Marilyn Monroe,i think she was just :drool:

Cleopatra,there were 7 cleopatras and she was the 7th,just interested in her because i like ancient history and she was apparently beautiful.

Salome,i think a private showing would be good but i wouldn't lose my head over it
Mata Hari,exotic dancer and spy,should be interesting

Francoise d'Aubigne Marquis de Maintenon,second Wife of the Sun King Louis the XIV,she lived to 83 so would have seen some amazing thing.
