    Nikola Tesla.

    In the late 1800's, early 1900's, this guy Invented X-ray machines, AC electricity (much more efficient than Edison's DC electricity), radio controlled devices for torpedo's and unmanned boats etc, the radio which Guglielmo Marconi stole the patents for and wireless telegraphy which would use the Earth's natural conducting abilities to send messages or generate power for electricity.

    He also worked on theories such as a flying machine that would run without the use of an air-plane engine, wings, ailerons, propellers, or an on board fuel source, and a direct energy weapon called a 'Death Ray'!

    He was one of the smartest people on the planet in this period of time, and it is said that when he died, officials raided his labs and home in order to acquire all of his theories and work. There is probably a whole lot more weird stuff he worked on that we will never know about. He probably invented the micro chip and a teleportation device for all we know.

    It would honestly have to be narrowed down to who you could speak the language of

    That said my day would be spent with General Custer

    why...I have always thought he lost for a reason...he was 23 years old, a general already...and truth be told what he was doing was wrong. many knew it and it was going to be placed to an end...

    what was he to do. Be a disgraced military man. My thought what better for him then be killed in battle by the very ones he waged war with. he went out in the way he lived....learning what type of man he was that was a fitting way to go.
