Question for all- PLEASE!!!!

[Comet]

This is a question I've asked almost everyone I know recently. Only 16 people have bothered to answer in a non-joking manner. Since so many are on right now, and it seems like the place people would care to answer:

You are having a dinner party where you can invite anybody throughout history. Your dinner table holds six, and you take up one of the chairs. Who are the FIVE people you invite????? (feel free to say why if you'd like)

Not to change anyones's answers, but the top 5 replies right now are (in order- surprisingly to me!)

1. Jesus
2. Adolf Hitler
3. Albert Einstein
4. Benjamin Franklin
5. A "past" family member

(more surprisingly- none were on my list! AM I THAT DIFFERENT?????)

[finalfrogo]

1. Jesus
2. Buddha
3. Muhammad
4. Thomas Jefferson
5. Albert Einstein

I imagine Albert and Thomas would make a cliche while the other three would engage in vigorous religious debates. I would have made them all religious leaders, but I really want to talk about Albert Einstein!

I am always amazed at the answers I get from people, especially those I know. It can tell you a lot about someone and what they like or believe. Some begin to climb the list, and some I have to look up to make me knowledgable!!!!! Mine still haven't made the most popular either, but here they are:

1. Zarathushtra
2. Zazamankh
3. John the Baptist
4. Isaac Newton
5. Enoch

Just so you know Einstein was a Jew and had to flee Nazi Germany. I can't see him and Hitler having supper together. Moving past that what kinda food would be served?

That will pose no problem. Without army Hitler is way to fragile to attack einstein and einstein way to hungry to pass on food.
