    Both Capa and McCurry would be entertaining. I'm a fan of Uelsmann's work.

    Man only picking 3 is so hard! The first that come to my head will do
    Alive
    1 Maynard keenan (An incredible voice and a fasincating mind)
    2 Dalai Lama (A beautiful person, hopefully send me on my way to enlightenment )
    3 Troy Bayliss (As a noob bikes are my newest obsession, he is so awesome to watch)
    Dead
    1 Socrates (make me think for myself after being spoonfed at uni for the past 5 years)
    2 Hunter Thompson (Crazy mutha fucka)
    3 Ernest Rutherford (Unrecognised for a lot of his work, he should have got more nobel prizes!)

    You might be surprised, Martybabe! My sister has met and talked to Billy for a bit and he is a right decent chap, from what I hear. Her kids were impressed too.... I think he was missing his family. Filming away on sets must be a real PITA sometimes. This was at one of your local supermarkets in the Naki! Good stuff, Billy

    Sounds a bit daft but his world tour of NZ dvd, was a major contributor to our decision to holiday and ultimately move here.

    I'd like to have him to dinner to thank him for the titters over the years and if I ever see him in Pak n save NP, invite him I wil.

    And from what I heard, he would probably accept!

    I'm sorry, but "beautiful people" don't pretend to be gods. He's a con-artist IMHO, the worlds ultimate free-loader.

    I've actually been lucky enough to have had dinner with some interesting people in a particular field I'm interested in.


    John Dobson... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dobson_(astronomer) )
    He actually stayed at my place for a couple of days.


    Steven Beckwith... the director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (Hubble telescope) who decided to take the Hubble deep field shot even though everybody else said he was nuts for imaging a spot of "nothing"... and ended up making one of the most significant images to our understanding of the universe to date.


    Had dinner with one of the guys running the Cassini–Huygens probe that is exploring Saturn and its moons close-up.


    Plus a NASA scientist who's job is to find life on another planet somewhere.


    Not famous people like Bono or Milli Vanilli... but interesting to have dinner with and talk to none the less.
