Six Influential Dead Guys I’d Like to Have Dinner With
Nikola Tesla
Screw Thomas Edison. Nikola Tesla is the badass of electricity. It’s not so much his accomplishments that warrant mentioning. It’s the fact that this guy was literally 100 years ahead of his time. From motors to alternating electric currents to his coil, this guy created many concepts and designs that are still used and modeled after today. Think about all the little neat tricks he could teach you.
Al Capone
I knew I had to pick a criminal in this list and who better than one of the greatest criminals of all time: Al Capone. Did you know he posed himself as a used furniture dealer? Guy was the man in times of liquor bootlegging and smuggling back in the 20’s and early 30’s. You couldn’t mess with a gangster more known than Capone. Any gangster would be entertaining to speak to but I think Capone would take the cake.
I was going through this list, saying, “I swear if Thomas Edison is on this list, I’m gonna flip shit. Tesla is SO much better!”
Then to my surprise, I read Tesla’s name and my face when? fuckyeah.jpg
Awesome list! You’d definitely have to ask Tesla if he ever really built his “death ray”.
Al Capone?! Where the heck is Carl Sagan?! He’d be number 1 on my list.
John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx?
Martin Luther King Jr?
Not bad choices, some of which I’d pick myself. But this list is definitely lacking Kurt Vonnegut.
i dont think people understand the concept of opinion
This list is pretty cool. I’m not a fan of Graham. If it were me, I’d want Hitler, Chaplin, John Donne, Teddy Roosevelt, Tesla, Beowulf, Mata Hari
I did get to meet him thankfully, but I would’ve LOVED to have a real sit-down conversation with George Carlin. Kubrick would be in a VERY close second. Bruce Lee is definitely up there as well.
@xXburekXx of course we understand the concept of opinion..we’re just sharing ours as well. You do understand the concept of sharing..don’t you?!
rasputin
Bill Hicks.
Hemingway and Capone were dicks. Seriously, how do you get through a dinner with Hemingway or Capone without getting a bottle broken over your head – at best?
Malcolm X
JFK
Einstein
Benjamin Franklin
Charles Darwin
Martin Luther
