Personally, I'd like to meet Nikola Tesla and see all his notes on his Death Ray he was building until the government took all his research.

I'm just going with the:

"I want to meet Jesus"-answer.

He doesn't really interest me, though.

Isn't this mostly the same is this thread which is still floating around on page 1 as we speak?
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.121020

That being said, I would meet myself from exactly 5 minutes ago and tell myself that I'm going to be able to meet anyone at all in history and that I should really think about who I would like to meet before I do something stupid like meeting myself from 5 minutes ago to tell myself that I'm going to be able to meet anyone at all in history and that I should really think about who I would like to meet before I do something stupid like meeting myself from 5 minutes ago to tell myself that I'm going to be able to meet anyone at all in history and that I should really think about who I would like to meet before I do something stupid like meeting myself from 5 minutes ago... Because that would be stupid.

Yes, I carried over my post. Because I met myself from the future who stopped me from posting the original post in the other thread, and now I have no recollection of actually posting it despite it being there. On a side note, I think I may have severely damaged the universe in doing this.

WARNING: TWILIGHT-BASHING

I would meet Stephanie Meyer just before she wrote Twilight, and kick her in the face until she decides to not ever write her "books."

Unless that would cause a time paradox.

I was going to say Jesus, but I'm going to go with Mohammed instead since we actually know that he existed.

Good call on Tesla. You should probably tell him that trying to make Wardenclyffe(sp?) tower a huge magnifying transmitter will ruin him and that he should make many smaller contributions, rather than one large, failed contribution.

I'd meet Hendrix. It would be so inspirational just to talk to the guy, let alone be able to jam with him!
