Who would you want to meet?

During the address to school students, Obama was asked to name three people (living or dead) who he would like to meet. His response was Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Cesar Chavez.

I am interested in knowing what three people, living or dead, all of us would be interested in meeting.

Depends whether or not they could magically speak English, or I could magically speak whatever language they're familiar with. If not:

Mark Twain

Rod Serling


If:

Siddhartha Gautama

Aristotle
