Helen Keller - she's always been my favorite ...for her high intelligence, her passion, her zest for life and advocacy, and her many accomplishments...
Nikola Tesla- for my love of science and the brilliant mind of an inventor
Jacqueline Cochran -for my love of aviation

I would love to collaborate on some projects with Nikola Tesla; either his projects or mine. I read his biography a few years ago and have had a thing about becoming a hobbyist electrician/inventor ever since.

Tesla invented AC while Edison invented DC. Or discovered.
The history of the two men and the cities that they " lit up" is quite fascinating.
So true about Tesla. Would be nice if he were here to discover and invent how to store the vast amounts energy that harnessed. Via the sun,wind etc... To store that.
Sigh

I'm particularly fascinated by his death ray that nearly brought down the Brooklyn Bridge. And also how his lab mysteriously burnt down and his notes were stolen.

(lol, just for the record, that isn't the project I would be looking to collaborate on).

I'd talk to Hitler for about 5 seconds then I'd stab him...multiple times.

I'd be afraid to talk to a personal hero. I suspect history has been very kind to a great number of assholes, and I'd hate to find out my idol was one.

That said, I'm fairly certain Oscar Wilde would be fun. We could go to a party and dish about the guests.
