If you could choose six people from any point in history to have round for dinner and conversation, who would they be? Things like age, location or language doesn't matter.
(Idea stolen from a BBC programme but acknowledged still).
Mine would be -
Charles M. Schuz
Roald Dahl
Isaac Newton
Leonardo Da Vinci
Geoffrey Chaucer
Siddhartha Gautama

I would probably have:
Abrahan Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Edison, Bob Ballard, JFK, and Galileo.

Jesus Christ
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Mitch Hedberg
Matt Groening
Vic Mignogna
Tiffany Grant
...That would be one odd conversation. It's hard to choose just six though. I'd still want to include people like Tolkien, Freddie Mercury... the list goes on.

Well, I suppose I should limit it to speakers of Modern English to maximize conversability. Thus:
Ben Franklin, Mary Shelley, Emma Goldman, Tom Stoppard, Paula Poundstone, and Arthur C. Clarke.
