    Hmm well there is a LOT of people in history, so by saying favourite person in history a lot of people could simply name their nan or something, but famous person in history? Oh god theres a LOT of them too.

    I go with Marylin Monroe or maybe Sun Tzu who wrote the art of war, would love to have sat down for a discussion with him.

    You'd need to be more specific... Era? Profession? (War... Art... Human Rights... Women's Liberation... King?)

    But I guess...

    Che Gueverra
    Edgar Allen Poe
    Jackson Pollock
    Sherlock Holmes (yeah yeah I know he's not real...)
    Wilfred Derome
    Anne Currie
    Elizabeth Bathory
    Sir Izaac Newton
    Mohommad Ghandi
    The Dali Llama
    Audrey Hepburn
    Charlie Chaplin
    Jack the Ripper
    Fortunatus Fidelis
    Aristotle
    Jean Beaudilliard
    Oscar Wild

    A decent quote from MP, people.
    I like De Valera and Michael Collins, neither figures many here would know, but ones i've put a lot of effort into researching.

    A good friend of mine calls me Caligula sometimes, so I have a special affinity for him. Don't ask why he calls me Caligula.

    Hmm, that's a really good question. I don't really know who my absolute favourite is, but I've been more or less fascinated by the following:

    - King Henry VIII and his wives
    - Adolf Hitler
    - Tsar Nicholas the 2nd
    - Marie Antoinette
    - Homer (mostly his stories, though)
    - Jeanne D'arc (sp?)
    - Van Gogh
    - Leonardo Da Vinci


    ... I'm sure there are more, but those were the ones I could think of.
