    No not cannibalism.

    Do you remember there was an add on telly years ago for after eights I think, where they had like Marilyn Monroe, and a buch of other dead celebraties eating dinner?

    Well I was just wondering who would be your ten.

    So far I'm thinking Jesus, Hitler, Micheal Collins, Pablo Escabar, Einstein,
    Jack the Ripper, Helen of Troy(cause I have to have some one hot), Bob Marley,
    Martin Cahill, and the Devil.

    Thats some collection. I'd have a few of the same.

    Wouldnt have Escabar, Marley or Jack the Ripper and I'm struggling to think of who I would have in stead.

    Maybe Bill Clinton
    Lee Marvin (to get the party going!)
    Maybe one of the Allied Generals from WW2 but not sure which one

    Presuming it's a circular table, then arrange the following in consecutive order around it:
    Vladmir Lenin, George Bush, Jnr. (I know he's not dead, but the entertainment value would be mighty...), Jordan (I know she's not dead either, but why isn't she? and imagine the airy conversation between her and Bush!!), Ivan the Terrible, Ghandi, Hitler, Karl Marx, Eamon deVelera, Ian Paisley (he's pushing on...he'll be dead at some stage, won't he!?) and James Connolly.

    Well actually Jack the ripper and Martin cahill were just because I couldn't think of anyone else, thinking about it I might pick cleopatra (because the parties a bit short of fit birds) and maybe Cuhulain(I can't spell that), was he even real?

    1. Albert Einstein
    2. Oscar Wilde
    3. Leonardo Da Vinci
    4. George Orwell
    5. Stalin (morbid and unoriginal but hey?)
    6. Jesus (or whatever actual person the Christ construct is based on)
    7. John Lennon
    8. Shakespeare
    9. Collins.
    10. DeValera

    An interesting old crew. Mostly from recent times and totally gender biased I know. Still, you'd get interesting conversation out of them anyway. Well, realisitically, Jesus & Da Vinci wouldn't have much to say given they wouldn't half a clue what was being said. But what about this is realistic?

    Does the devil really count as dead?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    well in the bible he's suposed to have been alive when Adam and Eve were so i'm guessing he must have died at some stage to now be in hell (not that I believe in any of that sorta stuff)

    Einstein - for original conversation
    Michael Palin - for the laughs
    Cicero
    Julius Caesar - both for the opposing views in the fall of the Roman republic
    Bret Easton Ellis - for the scandal
    Isaac Newton - interesting oddball
    Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - after-dinner music
    Bill Clinton - scandal, politics and an after-dinner speech
    Bosco - I always liked bosco!

    What's with the popular choices of genocidal dictators? Lighten up people!
