If You Could.....

If you could spend a day with anyone from the past (besides personal friends and relatives) who would it be and why? What would you do or talk about? You can pick two people only.

I would spend it with Shoeless Joe Jackson at a Cubs game and at a neighborhood bar after the game just talking about the old days in baseball and why he did it.

I also would like to spend a day with Thomas Edison, just to pick his brain and show him all of the things we've come up with in the modern world.

How about it? Who would you choose?

    Jesus - I don't think I really need a reason for that one because it's probably pretty obvious, lol.

    Madeleine L'engle - she is my all time favorite author and incredibly interesting. I can only imagine the conversations we would have. I'd like to discuss philosophy with her.

    I would want to talk to Jesus because I'd love to hear him speak the word and I would like to meet Bruce Lee so that he can teach me the one inch punch and train me.

    I would ask who killed her. I don't believe she killed herself.

    I changed mine- rather than Betty Page, I'd like to meet Lilith.

    In Jewish folkore Lilith is the name of Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time as Adam. She left Adam and refused to return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.[2] Her story was greatly developed, during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism.[3] (c/o Wikipedia)
