If you could bring 5 people back from the dead...

Nobody, because I'd be fucking with the fabrics of time and space.

I like how people in this thread mention bringing back people that just died with in the last few years, then wonder what they would do if they were alive today. I'll answer that question for you: SAME SHIT THEY WERE DOING RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIED

Also, you want to bring back genius' of their time? Do it. They're going to spend their short re-animated lives trying to figure out modern technology, go crazy, and waste one of your five choices.

But to be cordial, here's my list:

1) Chris Farley -- He was funny. David Spade suffers without him.
2) Clint Eastwood -- He's not dead yet, but he's in no shape to act. If I can bring people back from the dead, then I'd imagine I could give them youth as well, otherwise what would be the point of bringing back anyone? They'd be a rotting husk with a beating heart.
3) Alfred Hitchcock -- So he could have a heart attack with the way thriller and horror movies are today. He'd have a spasm watching a gore flick.
4) Siskel -- Ebert just isn't the same without him.
5) A random gladiator from the roman age -- And then pit him against the cage fighters of today. Let's see if they can really measure up to a true gladiator.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If this were possible, you don't think it would have happened already? Revolutions in this country are impossible. People would just look at you like you were some sort of primitive terrorist.

All revolutionaries look like bad guys in the beginning.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think it'd be much of a problem if he believed that his ideals weren't being upheld.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
