If you could pick someone in history, not including a religious figure, who would strive to be the most like???

I would strive to be Theodore Roosevelt. I like his no bs style and how he ran the country w/o caring about the opinons of other. GO TEDDY

Ron Jeremy

no seriously if i could be anyone in history i would be Nickolas Tesla, that would be fantastic all that knowledge.

O.J. Simpson has always been my hero, In the face of adversity he still got to go free, just proving the system doesn't work.

Like Chris Rock said, "I know you didn't kill them, but I understan". Or something like that, don't remember the whole quote.

Alexander the Great - as long as I lived past 36...

...but I would go for Bill Clinton (minus the fact of marital faithfulness). I thought he was a great president. He earned back the money lost in Desert Storm and created a surplus for what even may happen. I liked that he tried to keep with peace (...and not threatening everyone like Bu....). Overall, I think he did a great job.

Not to get off the subject, but one thing I noticed that was funny to me was once Bush gave back the money surplus, we suddenly, dearly needed it...

Dammit Seedy, you beat me to him!

Well, if Nikola Tesla is taken... I always did love reading about Chuck Yeager... He was very much a no nonsense, no BS guy... Rather than worry about the politics of a situation, he was like "Lets just get on with it".

I would be my REALLY great grand father, he was William the Bastard/Conquerors first in command, who advised William's army at Saint Valery in Normandy for the invasion of England. It was he who advised King William of the Saxon King Harold's approach from the north at Hastings.
Or I would be Henry McCarty aka Kid Antrim aka William Bonney aka Billy the Kid. I don't think an explanation is required, LOL

LOL DragonR you shuld be Nikola Tesla too imagine how the world would be with 2 Nikola Tesla's.

Jimi Hendrix

Excuse me while I kiss the sky

I would be George Carlin, I hope I am that grumpy when I get his age...

or King Arthur...

Good question..... I will think about it and get back to you.

The guy was without a doubt one of THE greatest generals in recorded history

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it would have been most fun to have stepped into the shoes of Caligula; to be that insane yet have that much power and fun must have been one hell of a good time. We need more horses in the senate, dammit!

the guy who invented Pac Man. i don't recall his name, but to have something so simple, almost dumb, associated with you. yet everyone know's it, loves it, and just has to put in 1 more quarter because " i can do better than that ". genius.

How about the Russian guy, Rubik? Have that damned Rubiks Cube associated with you for history!

the entity in the upper left hand corner

Hmmm, I would be either William Wallace or Julius Caesar. I admired William Wallace for his bravery against the British and Casar was a great leader and statesman.

Ron Jeremy all the way!

Seriously, Tesla or Einstein would be good choices, though Alexander the Great would likely be my choice....
