Einstein, so he can do some collab work with Hawkings, and build some moon bases and better nukes, and turn water into gas. And maybe run for presidency 08'.

Who said he had blonde hair and blue eyes? He was supposed to be a Jew...

The official LDS portrait of Jesus shows him with blond hair and blue eys.

when you bring them back to life are they back and look like they did previous to death or would they be all bones/rotting flesh/etc? You have to be careful on stuff like this...

I stand corrected. Though, I haven't seen it.

Point taken. Original post edited once again to keep this in mind.

Did you read the short story "The Monkey's Paw" or something? :D

Dad. So he could travel and see the world like he wanted. He passed from cancer.

I wasnt ready to lose him.
How old were you when he passed?
23, which I guess makes me a little spoiled. I should be grateful I got to know him at all. So many guys I knew in the Navy never met their fathers or got to spend time with them.
But I was kind of hoping he could stick around to give marriage advice or father advice.

That wouldn't change anything. The terms of this scenario state that you can "bring back a dead person", not "prevent a death." In any case, Franz Ferdinand's death was only the catalyst, not the cause. Austria actually considered him basically a prick and wasn't too sad to see him die. They just needed an excuse.

Second vote for my dad...lost him a week before Father's day - simply because I miss him.

Nikola Tesla, because the man was frighteningly brilliant, and who knows what he'd be able to come up with with the knowledge and technology we now have.

Now that I've had some time to think and muse over some of these replies, I can finally answer to my own thread. :D

I would have to say Leonardo Da Vinci. The man was an absolute genius. He invented and came up with so many ideas that weren't fully developed for hundreds of years after he thought of them. He was also an amazing painter and scientist. Even in three lifetimes I could not do what he did in his.

Anyone agree?
