If you could go back in time and meet 5 famous people?

[Nonchalance]

Meet? As in, able to speak with? Or just look at? Without really scanning the thread....

If conversation was involved:

Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian priest who first proposed the Big Bang Theory.

The dancer Nijinsky.

Any of the signators of the Declaration of Independence.

Gregor Mendel, the scientist.

Catherine the Great, of Russia.

Simply because they would be interesting to speak with.

Choosing the era of so called "modern times, I would choose:
...Teddy Roosevelt
...JFK
...General Geo Patton
...General Chuck Yeager
...Augustus Caesar (yes, somewhat before modern times)

From the New Testament, I'd like to meet Jesus' Disciples, including Simon/Peter, who we tend to call the knucklehead.. I would also like to meet Saul/Paul the apostle.

I wanted to get different outlooks and speak to people of different times. I should of said 10 famous people. Also I figured if I spoke to Jesus the Apostles would be there. I like the pick of Noah but I would have to be on the Ark with him. lol
Thanks for your reply
