      Learning from this man would be fascinating, but I'm thinking that speaking fluent Italian would come in handy.

      2 reasons for Da Vinci; first you'd never get bored learning from him, second he could figure a way to break you both out.

      Warren Buffett at 10/13/2010 7:33 PM
      The Buffet man definitely, image how much you could make after spending a few years with one of the top financial gurus of all time! Maybe he'd throw some Berkshire stock your way for keeping him from getting shanked in the showers.

      Are you guys suggesting that there wasn't a guy from Nazarene who decided being a prophet was more exciting than being a carpenter? What history turned him into may not have been real, but he was a real guy. And I would love to go back and see what he was really like.

      Michelle Obama isn't vice president

        Famous Role Models We'd Like To Meet In Person at 11/12/2010 7:36 PM
        yeah, that's one of the odd vagarities of using large datasets - Mrs. Obama was indeed a vice president in her career (from Wikipedia: 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs), which is where that data was taken from.

      Seriously? Someone wants to meet this guy? It's one thing to admire his talent ... but I can't stand even watching him try to act in his own movies. Imagine being in a room with him. Yikes.
