One man in history

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Cleopatra and hatschepsut (Egyptian rulers, once).

but jack the ripper isn't bad either, but would class him as hitler. boring.
their crimes are far more worse, then they are interesting. perhaps so, if a person is just pervert.

Benjamin Franklin. I've always admired him. I've always thought of him as a genius.

Or maybe whoever was in charge of building the pyramids.

Maybe Aristotle. Although I'd probably walk away thinking, "that poor, rambling homeless man."

Even Einstein would only tell me shit we know about and I still hardly understand.

If it was just for a beer, I'd like to meet Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain and Shakespeare. Just to actually meet them in the flesh.

I think a lot of people mentions have become gilded by history or in the case of some, just a little beyond my understanding. So, I have narrowed it down to one of the following:

Dale Carnegie - The ability to influence

Lee Harvey Oswald - Just the one question but been playing on my mind

Freddie Mercury - Such a different person on and off stage

Charles Darwin - Just so I can tell him all about our (CEO's) very own '????', so Charles can finally rest in peace, the final piece of his work in place (Only joking)

Samuel Johnson - Just so I can name drop with the TEFLers

Thomas Henry Huxley - Free Sunday Roast (Best in town) for life, by tipping him off about ????, so he can have one over on Charles

Not quite sure how to narrow it down, any clues?

Good call. Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite movie.

Is this an inside joke?
