Wish You Were Here: Who would you bring back?

[thePontificator]

Peter Cook

EDIT: Oh, and Graham Chapman.

[Smith]

The whole cast of Monty Python, (I know they aren't all dead), then I'd assemble them all and have them perform all my favourite sketches.

[hr]

Cake, and fine wine.

[the racing tortoise]

Evariste Galois.

one of the most significant group theorists(among other things). He was expelled from school for his actions in the French Revolution and almost hanged for treason afterwards. twice. the second time for comments made at his first aquital party. One suicide attempt later he met a woman (who dumped him), got in a duel over her that he was obviouly going to lose, and in the evening before his death wrote out most of his work.
He was 21. lived fast, died young. I would love to meet him.

[hr]

A fish swims into a wall and says "DAM"

[Roulette]

Bill Gates.

Of course, I'd have to kill him first *looks evil*

If you're the "1337 M4574!!!111", then I'm the Weirdo in the corner playing air guitar to her iPod.
Lame, but cooler than you.

Boltzmann

[hr]

Now with 100% more corn

Must be a physicist. I know that's who I'd bring back!
Just to understand Boltzmann dist.?
Damn first year exams!!!!
I need help...especially from someone who knows enough to understand!
But then again everyone has exams and if every physicist is busy with their own, I understand.

Edited: for consideration to Haunted or any other willing physicist.

Ahhh...someone else who is up at this time!!!
Oh and also - fine I will start a favourite conspiracy theory thread!

[hr]

"Enough is Enough...I've had it with these snakes"

[novium]

had another idea- a lot of my favorite authors are sadly elderly, so i'd bring back one of them after they died.

Very selfish of me!

[hr]

sed tamen ira procul absit, cum qua nihil recte fieri, nihil considerate potest.

[ObiMcD]

Easy, John Wayne. We need him now more than ever.

[Iain]

Dave Allen (comedian) definitely!

that failing, Willie Macrae...

For those who don't know, he was an SNP activist and anti-nuclear campaigner thought by many to have been shot by MI5 over 20 years ago on his way to Wester Ross from Glasgow. I think we'd all like to know what was going on there...

Anti-nuclear activists deserve all they get.

[hr]

Set your goals way too high so I can laugh when you fail.

[thePontificator]

Well, if we bring him back, someone can shoot him again.

[Jen the Phantom Hobbit of]

Richard Burton - to show Tom Cruise how to do War of the Worlds properly.

[hr]

The voices in my head tell me I'm not insane ... but everyone else does.

[coco]

As do SNP activists.

The mind is its own place and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.

Stevie Ray Vaughan.

(Just to clarify: we're not talking about zombie-esque reanimation of corpses, right? Because I'm always against that.)

Do those under a risk of death by metor run some thus-far indefinite risk of longrun meteorisation?

[jennyo]

Also, Eric Clapton's kid, because I hate that song 'Tears in Heaven'.

[Bizarre Atheist]

John Lennon - I'd just love to know whether he'd shave off all that hair, swap the specs for contacts and spend the rest of his life wearing awful shirts, shorts, socks and sandals. (Though his outfits needn't always alliterate.)

Also I'd like him to divorce Yoko and write a song entitled 'You, yes you, ruined everything you stupid cow' which I would personally buy, or at least download...
