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

[Guy Threepwood]

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.

Founding fathers, though I'd need a little time to pick which ones.

Philippe Pétain - the guy did his best during two of humanity's worst nightmares and ended up being reviled for it.

He was a collaborator and was intentionally dismantling France's republican & democratic ideals. He was not a monster by any means, mind you. It would've been better if he died not long after the creation of the Vichy regime because then I think it the argument that he was France's "shield" to deGaule's "sword" would hold more water.

I would love to get ...

• Hillel
• Shammai
• Yeshua
• Paul
• Maimonides

... in a room with some good kosher wine and say: "Work it out."

I admit I know next to nothing about his role in WW2.

I would leave them to the history books.

Firstly i'll invite jesus on "His" coming birthday.

I thought he was still alive?

If you wish to retain your high opinion of him, I would suggest you kind of keep it that way. Petain, without question, was a hero in WW1. However, so was Goering.

I would bring no one back, because they would have to die all over again.
