It would have to be Hitler, I'm sorry, but that man was extremely clever and I'd want to know how he could do something so I inhumane and justify his actions by saying it was the good of the country. I'd also like to know if he now regrets his actions, or if he is still proud of murdering so many defenceless people. Side: Dead.
But did you know that Hitler had a tremendously bad flatulence problem? Exacerbated by stress, especially in the latter months of WWII, as well as all that speed and cocaine he took. He would clear rooms, man. So I might re-think a convo with him. Or at least be sure to bring along a gas mask. Side: Living.
Alan Turing. He never got nearly the credit he deserved and was without a doubt the leading computer genius of his time. He was as responsible for helping us win WWII as any one man was. He pretty much invented the notion of the modern computer. Even back in the 1940s he wrote of the day when we would be walking around with hand-held computers. Back then in his time, computers like the ENIAC took-up entire rooms and weighed tons. So his was a remarkable vision. I would pick his brain and see what he thought computers would evolve to. Before showing him. And his sheer delight and amazement at what they have become would be a delight to behold. Thanks. Side: Dead.
