Ok Steel Man,

I realized my guest list was a bit monoMANical. So I'll let you have any four of my male dictators to add to your two, Idi Amin & Saddam Hussain.

I want to correct my original gender balance by including four women to go with my four remaining males:

Lucrezia Borgia
Margaret Thatcher
Catherine 11 of Russia
Marie Antoinette

I wonder who would sit next to each other and what they'd talk about?

Spikey
Are you aware that 14 yo Lucrezia was pimped out by her brother in order to gain more power and was eventually crowned pope. He was a right royal sod. Nothing too godly about him.

You forgot the marquis de Sarde, Now there’s a dinner guest who could tell a story or two.

Vlad Terpis prince of Walachia (the real Count Dracula [son of the dragon his dad was 'Dracule' [the dragon]...better known as Vlad the Impaler)... now there was a guy to avoid. He was reputed to have impaled 1000 city elders because they knew his father (talk about parent issues). He watched while he ate his brekkie then his lunch.
When two ambassadors who said that they couldn’t remove their turbans for religious reasons he had his carpenters nail them to their heads. (They died)
He was so skilled at impaling it took 8-12 hrs to die. Fun guy or what.

What about Peter Curtin (the vampire of Düsseldorf) in the 1920’s he was executed for killing 15 woman and a possible further 8. His shtick was to rape them while simultaneously stabbing them in the throat. He did the same to sheep.

Bon apitite

ok [they dont have to be heroes right?]

but the list would have to include the holy host of all life, who sits in at every dinner

i would invite jesus and satan [ok i know satan dont egsist and stinks up the room[but i got some questions for him just the same]

id invite eistein [he has a great sense of humour ] he actually made 3 comedy movies , that wernt able to be released because the powers that be thought it would dimisish his theory

darwin would be there [he was my first god with feet of clay] he said so much good stuff his followers havnt even bothered to read

i would invite george fox [founder of the quakers]that dude had guts
pope bennadict, wrathchild, and obama

the seating will be all on gods right hand and it will be fancy dress[no black suits ,no school ties] shoes off wearing socks

the flowers will be alive and the food vegetarion with sweets [of course in heaven fruit dont ferment into alcohol so we will be drinking carbonated fruit juices

my 'servant list will include thousands ghandi ,heinlan[of stranger in a strange land fame]and quite a few other sci fi writers, oliver wendle homes, mary baker eddie, elinor roosevelt,but it aint going to happen this life anyhow[there is some clever minds on forums i have posted so many of them will share my dinner table at some time or other

how can people not see all wishes will be fullfilled in gods time

There are lots of worthy names that come to mind, and I know I'll think of others tomorrow that I could or should have put on the list.

I had trouble narrowing it down so I'm having two dinners - one global and one local.

Germaine Greer
John Pilger
Michael Moore
Peter Singer
Arundhati Roy
Noam Chomsky
Richard Dawkins
John Ralston Saul

Bob Brown
Julian Burnside
Clive Hamilton
