[Phat Rita/Celestial Tim]

Mao ZeDong - for his conviction, his roots......his very moralityand unnerving leadership, for that is what a great leader is - wisdom and passion

John of Gaunt and his brother-in-law, Geoffrey Chaucer. Though it would be fun to meet Gerald of Wales and ask him if he really believed that the Welsh lost Troy because of their homosexuality.

Indeed, there is no finer way to voice your rampant feminism.

Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore in 1819 and a scholar.

Sir Charles Vyner Brooke, third and last White Rajah of Sarawak. Died in poverty in a London bedsit, alone and forgotten.

Benito Mussolini for being so daft. I mean if you are going to fake working late at night, make sure that you don't get seen elsewhere. The light may be on but there is certainly no-body home. Also, syphillus is really not fucking cool and its also helpful to pick a side and stick with with, not suddenly become 'anti-jew' in order to lick German arse and then decide to back the other side because you know you are screwed.

a person who ordered the bombing of the people of iraq as they were seen as subhuman in his eyes: "I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes". For more about 'the greatest briton of all time', http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?itemID=3930§ionID=15

Although he was right in predicting that people would value him kindly, "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."


I dont believe we were asked who was the most morally virtuous historical figure, merely the most interesting one. You could perhaps also infer from the statement that he was in favour of using machine guns on strikers that I dont view him in a completely biased perspective.

Sorry it wasn't an attack on you. Although it does look it. No offense intended

if i was having a pity of shindig and could invite any guests from history then i guess id have to have:
Jesus
Machievelli
Shakespeare
Queen Elizabeth
George Washington
Adolf Hitler
Nelson Mandela
and Britney Spears

[The Kaiser]

I think it has to be Wilhelm II of Prussia/Germany. Arguably insane, certainly had lots of issues, was severely repressed, started a World War solely because he fancied himself in military uniform... - absolute legend.

Rasputin.

Really? I'd have thought he'd be quite a dull dinner guest. If you've seen water into wine once you've seen at a thousand times. And don't get me started on considering the lily...

Perhaps but it would considerably lower the cost of said party if one of your guests could magic up the booze. Additionally, all you would need to serve is a loaf and some fish and he'd whip up a huge gourmet feast no doubt. Although it's slightly rude to ask the guest to make his own dinner...

[Manson]

Just going by his exploits in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, I would have to plump for Napolean Bonaparte.

But seriously, taking over most of Europe, then losing and being exiled to an island, then making a comeback attempt? Fun!

[Chain Mailer]

Mmmmm I think Einstein, Napoleon (sorry for spelling if its wrong!) Geronimo, Sitting Bull, William Wallace and I think the Bruce as well... Um... Obviously John Lennon (though before he went to india and became a Krishna hippie!) Definitly Rasputin and Henry VIII! Oh! Oh! Also Sir Walter Raliegh and Montezuma! Most outstanding dudes!
