Table for 7

Alright, so my brother-in-law Eric did this on his blog and I was so intrigued that I had to come out of hiding and resurrect my blog. Here are the rules: you have to choose 6 people who you would like to have dinner with (living or dead). They cannot be fictional characters and they cannot be people who you would normally be able to have dinner with. So if it is someone alive, then it has to be someone famous, not your brother or something like that. This is one dinner, not six, so you have to choose people who would be able to hold a conversation together. Oh, and it cant be Jesus because everyone would say that. So here are mine in no particular order:

1. Erasmus – He is one of the most intelligent people ever to have lived and he lived in one of the most interesting time. He had his hand around Marin Luther’s neck while throwing punches at the pope with his other hand and I would love to talk to the man who could get away with that.

2. Socrates – If there was any lull in the conversation, he would be able to get it going again. I learn the same way that he did, by asking questions and finding answers in other people’s responses, and I want to see him in action.

3. Noah – I want to know what the earth looked like as one giant ocean. I want to talk to him about what it was like to hear the voice of God tell you that He was going to flood the Earth wiping out all of humanity and has chosen you to live and re-propagate the Earth.

4. JJ Abrams – Anyone who knows me might have seen this coming. I would want to talk to him about Lost and some of his other projects that are in the works right now.

5. Adam – I would want to talk to him for some of the same reasons as Noah. I would want to hear what it was like to walk with God without knowing any sin. I would want to know what the Earth was like in God’s original intention. And I would want to ask if it got boring living for 900 years.

6. Martin Luther – I had trouble with this last one thinking of someone I would like to talk to instead of someone I just like to study about. I would love to talk religion with him. With him on my right and Erasmus on my left, I think it would make for a very interesting discussion! Plus, I would love to hear a discussion between him and Adam on the nature of man.
