@earl-of-trumps saidGreat idea. TU from me. Reminds me of Steve Allen’s Meeting Of Minds.
You are hosting your all-time favorite luminary, past or present. That person will sit
at the head of your dinner table and dine with you and entertain your queries. Who will it be?
At the Head of the Table: @Albert-Einstein
You may also select two other luminaries to join.
Seated to my left, @Diogenes-of-Sinope; Seated to my right, @Nikola-Tesla
Goethe
Mary Magdalena
Bertrand Russell
@indonesia-phil saidWell, you got the right and the left down pretty good, but who is at the "head of the table" π
On my right, Charlie Darwin, on my left Jesus of Nazareth, (some of you may have heard of him), (he's from Nazareth). Let's get the whole evolution/creation thing sorted once and for all, even if we have to resort to arm - wrestling.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidEntertaining evening for sure.
Morgan Freeman
Stephen Fry
Sandi Toksvig
@earl-of-trumps saidThat's reserved for god, so if he doesn't show up we'll know he doesn't exist.

@indonesia-phil saidThat's why I chose Morgan Freeman. (He's played God at least twice).
That's reserved for god, so if he doesn't show up we'll know he doesn't exist.
@fmf saidOn that basis, I would like to...
Assuming that this dinner party takes place in a twist in the fabric of time and space...
I'd want to ask Agatha Christie what she thinks of the Inspector Morse stories written by Colin Dexter; I'd ask David Attenborough what the ecological purpose of mosquitoes is, and I'd ask Winston Churchill to talk me through how it felt to get so unceremoniously kicked out of office in 1945.
- Ask Batman how the bat-pole outfit change works and why he hangs around with a weedy young man who chose “Robin” as his superhero pseudonym.
- Discuss the challenges and opportunities of mixed-species parenthood with Mr Spock and get him to show me how to do and online version of the Vulcan nerve pinch
- And I’d get Dr Who (the Jon Pertwee version) to show me around his TARDIS and introduce me to Jo Grant.
