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

@earl-of-trumps saidIndeed and the whole “thumbing” thing is a bit of ubiquitous silliness of course.
@dive, not to worry. It's poster choice, yours are fine.
Glad to see people have interest. People here are putting up good, varied choices.
However outside of the backdrop of arguing I feel a bit disappointed that in a decent thread like this people can’t just criticise the choices instead of thumbing down the poster. I would be interested in understanding any critique of my choices.
@divegeester saidYou expect a critique? That may be setting the bar too high here.

You wanna Critique? Go read Immanuel Kant.

@fmf saidThere is a word for that in current American vernacular: "Republicanism."
What I did experience, however, was an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something was dangerous, likely to cause pain, or pose a threat.

@earl-of-trumps saidDang, I forgot. Remove Mark Twain, put in @Truman-Capote, a real literary genius (In Cold Blood)
In the literature side of things...
Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Samuel Clemens, aka, Mark Twain.

@earl-of-trumps saidIn Cold Blood is based in a true story. While making research for the book, Capote fell in love with one of the murderers - in 1959 four members of the Herbert Clutter family in the small farming community of Holcomb, Kansas were murdered by Richard Hickock and Perry Smith.

@torunn saidYes, Truman was gay. And a prolific character he was. "In Cold Blood" was made a movie, too, in 1967.
