6 People for Dinner

Thanks to Marko for this great question...
If you could invite 6 people (alive or dead) who i have no real chance of dinning with, who would they be?
A few rules, just to clarify:
  • The person has to either be a) dead, or b) alive, but no way you’ll ever have a chance to have dinner with them.
  • Real people only. no fictional characters.
  • It’s not 6 individual dinners. it’s a dinner party with 6 people (plus you). think of the mix.
  • Assume no language barriers. in other words, it doesn’t matter if they speak or spoke another language than you and your other guests. you have magic instant translation technology.
  • Jesus doesn’t count. it’s a dinner party. therefore, 2 or more are gathered. therefore, jesus is already there.
I think mine would be:
  • My Uncle Bill - he could talk to anyone and had enough bizarre facts to keep things lively.
  • Warren Buffett - I'm fascinated by how he lives his life, how he makes decisions, how he runs his companies and how he spends and gives away his money. I've got somewhat of a man crush on him.
  • King David - He's a hero of mine. He's passionate, a great leader, makes big mistakes and deals with them.
  • Zach Braff - I dig the show Scrubs, and my hope would be that he'd be exactly like his character JD.
  • Mother Teresa - She's the epitome in my opinion, of what it looks like to lose your life to find it. It'd be interesting to hear Warren Buffett talk to her about how he's giving his $50Billion to help the poor.
  • Tiger Woods - His work ethic is amazing. He seems very humble and the best at what he does. It'd be interesting to pick his brain and see what makes him tick.

So, how about you?
