Pick two people you most want to meet in the world.

I'd choose:

Steven Hawking and the Dalai Lama.

These two men represent the best of two fields which continue to fascinate my idle thoughts. When I can't sleep, the two subjects I contemplate most are time/space theory and spiritual philosophy.

Although I choose an occupation in the arts, I would probably do well in quantum mechanics or philosophy as well. And if I get to choose ANY two people, why not aim for the stars?

(Incidentally, the Dalai Lama will be a guest speaker at a local college this fall and I've been on the advance ticket notice list for over a year now. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to simply sit in the same room as this man and listen to his wisdom. Rare is such an honor.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Damn, you're picky.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't waste your time. Seriously. The man might possess some amusing insights, but he's an antisocial recluse and every single interview he's ever had, save for one by The New Yorker, has denegrated into a bilous rant against every petty thing he's ever perceived as a deep, personal slight against his existence on Earth. He is disrespectful to his peers in the cartoon industry, he is rude to journalists, he has an irrational axe to grind against the establishment in general and even those who knew him before Calvin & Hobbes took off say that he was never a nice guy.

Your "nice" chat would end in an abrupt disconnection as Watterson walks away with several cutting remarks against you and everyone you ever loved. He's done it to many.
