If you could have lunch with anyone that has ever lived, who would it be? And what would you serve him or her?

 

 

(I was actually asked this)

God of course. And I'd serve Him poison.

 

Muah hahahahaha.

Adolf Hitler in his own time and a c4 patte on a arsenic chip

Jesus.

 

 

Anything but fish.

 

 

Maybe a sandwhich with Miracle Whip.

Jesus.

Buddha - A happy meal

 

On an interview I would say' date='

 

[b']Benjamin Franklin - A turkey[/b]

Cleopatra.

 

Anything she'd want.

Miyamoto Musashi. I'd serve tea and then Sukiyaki.

Can't decided between Richard Feynman and Leonardo Da Vinci - I'll plump for Richard as I can't speak renaissance Italian. I reckon we could discuss safe-cracking and the bomb over a nice, hot curry.

Can't really decide man. I would probably choose a musician like Rachmaninov or Beethoven. and discuss orchestration over fish and chips.

With my Grandfather again (he was my hero).

 

we`de get a fresh crusty loaf, cut thick slices and make toast in front of the fire

Hmm...

Einstein. He sounds like an interesting guy to talk to.

I can think of better guys to talk orchestration with than old Rachie.

A stew like Sukiyaki would be good. Avoid anything he'd have to cut.

Sounds like you've read "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!". I loved that book.

anyone who went to english school, would have a lunch with shakespear, and give him some, he can have a sodium amalgam drink, with and some C4 with mercury salad dressing,,,,

 

or we could save that for hitler,

 

but those would be revenge lunches, and not sociable lunches, so properly:

 

i was gonna say sum1 to do with either physics, or chemistry, or electronics, or computers, [basically, anything i find cool] but there's to many to chose from, so a lunch with God would be cool! i spose, He covers all the subjects!!!!

 

dont mind really, just someone interesting, to me thats anyone to do with..... [copy/paste from above!]....... either physics, or chemistry, or electronics, or computers.

I'd serve up a little slice of heaven for Cameron Diaz.

 

 

And some antimatter for osama bin laden.

Lunch with Schrodinger..............cat food

who me cat food yummmmmmmmmmmm

I'd bring along a lead shield as well.

 

Hmmm... maybe Alan Alda too.

Who would u talk orchestration with? Brahms? Mozart? Tchaikovsky?

 

I think rachmaninovs raphsody on the theme by paganini is beutifully orchestrated

I'd go for Berlioz, Mahler and Bruckner myself - I think they understood the true power of an orchestra (well, they write good trombone parts so they must be the best!). Don't get me wrong, Rachmaninov was a superb composer who wrote many fine orchestral pieces, but his forte was the piano (ho ho!) and I don't think he was as strong an orchestral composer as the three guys I've mentioned above - but this is my personal preference.

yea. u may be rite. forgot about berlioz and mahler. they are fab. never listened to Bruckner that much. except for few of his famous ones. can't remember what they were. think one of them was a violin concerto or something .

 

What about Dvorak

 

or Holst.??

 

they write good brass parts as well

My fave composer is Mahler so I have a soft spot for him (the 3rd is beautiful and the 8th is just gob-smacking). Dvorak and Holst are fantastic, although I heard recently on Radio 3 some of Holst's earlier work (pre-planets) and despite the euligising of the commentator I thought some of it was a bit duff.

I'd definately have lunch with either Euler or Gauss, can't really make up my mind.

hang on. what about cauchy, the man who put calculus on firm grounds.... (thats what i read), hes also has the highest number of published papers. second only to (i think) euler. but maybe him being french will have something to do with ur preferences. hehe
