Entertaining Angels
Top 10 Bloopers for Technology in the Movies
[cafedave] the Ten Most Dangerous toys of all time.
As Christmas fast approaches, I think I've done everything I need to. A couple more days left at work to try and tidy up some loose ends before the new year, but nothing that's terribly urgent.
A was pondering the other night as I drove home the age-old question - if I could invite 5 living people to entertain at dinner, who would they be. I'm still thinking, but the people who are coming to mind are all people for whom I have enormous respect (if not for their life overall, at least in the field for which they are known). The first three places are very much taken (Don Carson, Al Gore, Amy Lee), so I've got Theology, the Environment and Music covered, but the last two spots are up for grabs.
So, I'll throw the question out there. Who would you invite? I'm adding a couple of arbitrary rules to make it more interesting. They have to be alive, and they can't know you personally.

I guess that rules out kel. Hmm, I'm not sure how appealing it would be to have a one-off dinner, knowing you'd never see them again, but perhaps I'm attacking the question too much.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates would be interesting people for different reasons.
Putting Jesus and Osama B-L on the same table - I don't know that the latter would go to dinner, but I'd be curious to see what they'd say to each other.
Mark Driscoll would be an interesting guy to talk to; J.I. Packer is still alive, and would have a lot to contribute;
I wouldn't mind having dinner with Ben Folds, either...
When thinking about this, though, I don't know what I'd really say to these people: would I just listen to what they say to each other, and not have anything much to contribute?
