Socrates. How could I pass up an opportunity to drink with the wisest man in all of Greek history? Plus I'd be interested to see what the real Socrates was like, and how he differed from the Socratic character as Plato portrayed him.

Probably Nietszche, but it's hard to say.

I voted for Hitler, just to try and get a handle on what the hell was really going through that man's head. I've read Ian Kershaw's epic biography of him, and it has helped to flesh out the man, but I'm still fascinated to know what drove him to such extremes.

Rumor has it he was also quite fond of men as well as women, and could I really resist having sexual relations with Socrates? I'm straight enough to say no, I could not resist gay sex with Socrates.

On a more serious note re: Socrates, Plato's account of his death/suicide is one of the most moving and brilliantly written passages in all of literature. The strength of this old man in the face of death, an unjustly abbreviated life, was absolutely inspirational (and, again, deeply moving - one of the very few pieces of writing which can almost bring me to tears).

Abraham from the bible. I know he's not on the list, but i'd like to see for myself his level of... stability.

Or jesus for the same reason

Kimmo. He is truly one of the greatest minds of our time. Also, it'd be funny talking to somebody so deranged.
