    Default Famous Dead Person you would swap for Famous Live Person.

    if you could make a deal with some eldritch spirit and sacrifice someone living in order to bring someone back from the dead.


    Bill Hicks, in exchange for John Ashcroft.

    Frank Herbert, in exchange for Gentry Lee.

    Bring back Natalie Wood, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker and Charles Bukowski. They can have the Olsen Twins, Hiliary Duff, Linsday Lohan, and the entire cast of the OC. (Though I think "they" are getting a raw deal!)

    None...why bring back the dead only to make them just as annoying as the famous people today?

    Do you hate them THAT much? Dead they are cool...alive they would be another media whore to hate.

    the point is that the person you want to bring back wouldn't be as annoying as the person you'd send off. i for one would be a little happier living in a world where Gentry Lee wasn't anally raping Arthur C Clarke's Rama stories, and where Frank Herbert was alive to write a sequel to The Dosadi Experiment.

    but that's just me. i have some difficulty thinking inside the box.

    Now that's inside the box thinking. What makes the dead great is what they accomplished when they were alive coupled with the fact they aren't around to fuck it up.

    The writers you mentioned were great indeed with numerous masterworks to their credit...keeping them around to write more would be ideal only in the sense of wanting more of a product. It's like finding a resteraunt you like then having it close on you and all you can think about is the great meals you would have had instead of the great meals you had.

    It's a nice idea to play with but one that'd be more cruel in execution. Remember Zemeckis unelashing Forrest Gump and people thinking...Hey we can bring back old movie stars and use em in commercials!...that gave us the ABYSMAL Fred Astaire dancing with a vacume.

    Least for me...being dead is an important part to ones work. It allows it to live beyond you and on it's own. It'd hate to live in a world with Heinlein still writing books personally...it's nice to see his body of work on ones shelf and wonder what else he couls have done while being well aware of what he did and what he contibuted...

    If these modern celebs you want to get rid of taught us anything is that oversaturation of ones image leads to disgust. Nearly all mentioned would suffer from that in todays media culture.

    Okay, trade Marilyn Manson for Rozz Williams, Courtney Love for Kurt Cobain, Collin Powell for Gangus Kahn, Snoop Dogg for Jack the Ripper, Amy Lee for Elizabeth Bathory, Pope John Paul for Aliester Crowley, Jean Claude Van Damm for Bruce Lee, N'Sync for the Ramones, Madonna for Edward Gorey, the creator of Happy Tree Friends for Dr. Suess, that chick that kills animals for her photography for Andy Warhal.

    nope. Heinlein was the better writer. Wells depended on gimmick, rather than plot or characterization, and you need a machete to hack your way through the turgid undergrowth of his prose. Wells is just famous because he was one of the first writers to consciously and ostentatiously depend on gimmick. but, shit, you could technically classify Atlas Shrugged as science fiction.

    I'd knock off Bush and bring back Hitler, and then promptly kill Hitler. With any form of time travel, it's mandatory that you kill Hitler... kind of one of those unwritten rules. And I guess, if you look at it just right, this could sort of count as time travel.

    Then I would bring back Vlad the Impaler, Jack the Ripper, Genghis Khan, Erik the Red, Edward Teach, and Bruce Lee, toss 'em in an arena, and make them fight. This would be done at the expense of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, John Ashcroft, the Olsen twins, and Michael Jackson. That would be awesome!

    maybe web forums should automatically insert the words "These are my opinions only." at the front of each message.

    i would personally rather read The New Accelerator than wade through another foot-thick slab of thinly-disguised "I want to sleep with my daughter". reading The Number of the Beast was painful; i kept wanting to scream at them "STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHO'S GONNA BE CAPTAIN!"

    what i meant was that the language is more readable. Wells does that late-Victorian over-decorated prose thing until you could choke on it. Heinlein's writing style is clear and precise (well, he was an engineer, after all). his descriptions are accurate, but not floridly detailed. of course, this leaves visible the fact that sometimes his plots could use a kick in the arse. i'll still take Heinlein over Wells, but then again, i was an engineer myself...
