14. Well...
It's hard to pick just five.

Perhaps Lawrence O'Donnell (for the political and Hollywood stories and the Irish temper), Kenneth Branagh (creativity), Liv Ullmann (I loved her memoir "Changing"), Gloria Steinem (interesting life), and Bill Clinton to enjoy the craic.

Okay, that's 7 (if you included me), but I'd gladly give up my seat to be a 'fly-on-the-wall' or the bartender, or the meal servant to hear THAT groups' conversation!

32. Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, Andrei Sakharov, Fritz Houtermans and
Hans Bethe.

I think the conversation would be beyond me though. Hopefully I'd get them all to speak in English. My German, especially my comprehension, leaves something to be desired.

I will be the cook, and will personally serve each diner his meal. :evilgrin:

on edit: Dear Agent Mike, this is, of course, satire. I wish the chimp and all of the lesser apes a long and healthy life. Only after they die peacefully in their sleep at a ripe old age do I want them to burn in Hell for all eternity.
