Ok, another one I'd take to a tea party would by that lady Truman Capote, or is it a guy? :roll:

I'd like to ask him some questions about himself of how he got involved with the characters in that book which won him lot's of publicity. There's still some unanswered questions. I'd also like to ask why his successful career went down hill from there. :nerdy:

Here's a chap for those of you who love the obscure and weird ...

Charles Fort. He would be fascinating, I'm sure, and more than a bit eccentric.

Well, I'll just choose a few.
1. Jack the ripper. First one I thought of. I have always wanted to speak to someone like him, just to truly understand how... Also I have some pretty cruel thoughts (I won't explain, its not that nice... I can't help it though. I TRY no to) and want to know what enabled him to go so far, so I can possibly avoid it. I don't fancy living in a mental institution (although I would prefer it to quite a few places)
2. Would be Einstein or Newton. I think that is self explanatory.
3. Tutankhamen, (or some ancient Egyptian)I wanna know all of the secrets of Egypt
Theres more but thats enough
