Marco Polo, any Asian dynasty leader--chinese, mongolian. Mohammed, Buddha, Constantine, Jesus Christ. This list could go on. I think i'd also like to meet random people over the course of history, kinda like put it on shuffle and bam here's someone from the bronze age, or bam here's someone from 19th century Russia. and of course mr. t.

movies haven't really been a part of my life lately. time/money seem to be the biggest constraints. and as much as i love the idea of movies the last movie i saw in theaters was failure to launch. i went with my in laws. i laughed. but just now it took my at least 3 minutes to remember it's name. left a lasting impression on me. but as far as movies i enjoy. top gun is still a favorite.
mythbusters. national geographic presents. anything on the discovery channel late at night. the office.
Lately just school textbooks. Physics has become quite facsinating. and of course you've gotta love thermodynamics. who couldn't love learning about entropy and enthalpy and exergy. science and life collide.
JRD. is still my hero.
