Marcus Aurelius or Trotsky.

Two men I greatly respect.
Why Trotsky if you don't mind me asking.

Probably Archamedies to ask him what it was to be the smartest man alive at his time and then to get killed by some moronic soldier.

If I was going to revive anyone, first I would need to find a mortal enemy and then kill them. Because tearing someone from wherever they go and jamming them in a corpse seems like something to avoid doing to someone I admire.

Alan Turing, and have him pitted in a blind date with Cleverbot, initially
convincing him it is me through formal engagements, then leading him to Cleverbot's site but with no signs that give away that the 'chatroom' I lead him to is actually an AI by removing all banners, disclaimers, reformatting some aspects of the page, etc.

I'll be having my tea in a state of amusement.

*sips tea*

Hitler...

But purely for the reason of telling him that he is not getting away easy by killing himself.
Getting away easy ? you sir have no idea what death is if you think its easy.

OT: i also say Hitler, but to have a more serious chat about his life , SURE theres alot ( ALOT ) of biographies about him, but nothing is as good as getting it from the person themself.
Everyone (including me )knows Hitlers acts were repulsive and evil and he will go to the deepest circle of hell , but remove the holocost and the worlds wars , he wasnt that bad of a guy.

So, if there's the hypothetical possibilty to revive one person to have a nice long chat with, who will it be?
And what do you want to talk about?

Personally, I'd like to revive George Harrisson. I have a feeling a lot of people would go for John Lennon if their mind comes across The Beatles, but I'd rather talk to George to be honest.
I always wanted to know what awakened his interest in the Indian culture back in the 60's and how it felt to stand in the shadow of John and Paul, while being actually a very awesome part of the band.

I'm sure there are more historically relevant people you could talk about, but this is my egotistical choice of course. :p

So, who would you have revived to spend a cup of tea and a biscuit with?
Would it only be for a long chat? Can I revive someone permanently?

Totally not thought about that.

Let's just say it was for one long chat.
That's it.

Probably my Grandpa, I could talk to him about our family and how everyone's doing...

As for famous people,
Probably someone like Michael Jackson or Kurt Cobain (and ask them how they really died)
Or maybe Jim Henson or Dr. Seuss, and have a good chat with them about their occupations...

Or one of my dead family members.

In order:

Rasputin: For a slew of obvious reasons.
Leonardo Davinci: So I can figure out once and for all if he is, in fact, a tie traveling alien cyborg.
Hitler: Also for a slew of obvious reasons. Mainly, kicking him in the most painful spots to be kicked.

My grandpa so I could ask him questions about Sámi culture and his interesting life. When I was a kid he was very distant and kind of a grouch. I feel I would've gotten along a lot better with him as an adult (He died when I was 14) and would've been able to find out more about the culture from which he came.

Or if you mean famous people

Benjamin Franklin/Thomas Jefferson ect. So I can ask them what their literal intention of various parts of the constitution were about so we can stop hearing jackassess on tv say "what the founding fathers meant was..."

Curt Cobain.

Tell him to go make some more music.
But he'd be all like "I'm just a vacuum cleaner salesmen!" Meanwhile, Kurt Cobain would be sitting in his grave saying "so close... so close"

Hmm, come to think of it.
This thread would be completely obsolete if the Rapture happened.

I'M COMING FOR YOU GEORGE! (No way he's in heaven.)

Kurt Vonnegut. He's in Heaven now, but I would love to have sat down over a drink with that man. Charles Darwin, too. But that conversation would consist of me being awestruck and him being awkward.

I'm going to say the Mongolian general Subutai. I would ask him what drove him to nearly conquer the entire known world in the name of someone else. He never rebelled, he was never even questioning of the Khan's orders. Then pick his brain about military tactics, try and find out what made him tick.

I mean....it's one long conversation. The Mongols couldn't rise back from that....right?

"CNN Seattle is now reporting that the Mongols are invading Alaska over the Bering Straight."

Joe Strummer- man is a personal hero of mine, read some interviews of him and he sounds like such a down to earth, intelligent and kind hearted person, in all honesty Id love to buy the man a beer.

Ayn Rand- Just so I could tell her to chin the fuck up.

Nietzche- "noone is beyond morality, look what your philsophy was used to justify".

Hitler- Just so I could show him what became of his much loved "Hundred Year Reich".
Not to be picking nits or anything.. but I'm pretty sure it was the thousand year reich. Just sayin'

Easy. Charles Dickens, my favourite author. I'd probably spend quite some time asking him about victorian politics and conditions as they were great influences on his writing, and I love that time period.
