My grandpa.  I'd like to know more about my family history and it would be a great opportunity to know about him more.  I hardly know what he is like because he died when I was a wee tot.

 hmmm
family's too easy for me, if i had a time machine i'd go back to my grandparents villages before the wars, then sort of follow both of them with opa ending up in austria working on a farm and oma in a russian gulag. Then my great aunt running across the east/west german border.

wanting to be a historical figure i think plays into our egos a bit.

I always thought this statue was misrepresentative of the Lady.  She had enough modesty to request that all remain indoors and enough hair to hide all her charms....yet this statue would have us believe she put her hair in a pony-tail.  [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="vny!://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]

If I were Lady G, I'd be riding Christian Bale. Hah!

  Let's see.... famous historical figure. I don't supposed Xena Princess Warrior counts? Well, she's from ancient Greece.

Probably Mick Jagger. Nobody has had more fun being a rock star! He's ancient!
When the End comes, don't worry if your party shoes are clean or not. Just make sure you have them on!
