If you could be one person in history (or present day) who would you be?

[Dis]

of course if you were that person, their life would take a dramatic turn (probably for the worse ). But this is just a hypothetical that you could achieve the same measure of success as they had.

So who would it be? Einstein? Hitler? Lenin? Stalin? Wilt Chamberlain? John Holmes.

[Dis]

for myself, hmm. This is a tough one.

Wilt Chamberlain had the best basketball scoring record and the best women scoring record, but will he be remembered in 40 or 50 years?

I'll go with Einstein for my pick. And Einstein did get it on with the ladies as well.

[Ted Striker]

TOO many to pick!!

Wilt Chamberlain would be a good one though.

DAVOUT, of course.

Bill Gates... money, money, money.... MON-ey!

I'd pick one of the later Apollo astronauts to land on the Moon and stay there for a relatively extended period of time, compared to Armstrong and Aldrin.

I'd probably want to be John W. Young, who only recently retired from NASA, having dedicated his entire adult life to space flight. He travelled into space a total of 6 times; he flew twice on Gemini in the mid-60's, twice on Apollo, Apollo X and XVI, and twice on the Space Shuttle, including the very first flight back in 1981.

What an exciting life this man must have had. Yes, I'd like to be him.

If you ignore the fact that he led Russia into a period of anarchy and international ridicule, where capitalists and maffiosi had godlike power thanks to the greatness of corruption, and the massive impoverishment of the Russians, what exactly is wrong with Yeltsin?

how would you do that?

I suppose you could just sit around all day and drink beer (ale) instead of healing people or whatever he did (I don't really know what Jesus did in real life ).

although imagine how much cooler it would be if we had the 10 commandments based off of drinking beer instead of that other crap.
