If you could be any ONE person, past or present, for a day who would it be? After that day you would absorb their entire life experiences. Please feel free to elaborate.

My choice (if the stories are true) would be Marco Polo because of the things he was able to see and experience in his life. I'm an explorer at heart.

Thats easy for me, cause I have brought this up with friends before. I always said I wanted to be a Formula 1 Driver, not just any driver, but a driver from a specific era.
The 50s and 60s. That was the golden age of racing, the cars were beautiful, before the wings, and like you said about Marco Polo, those guys traveled all over the world to exotic locations, Monaco would be a cool place to hang. I would love to be Jimmy CLark for a day.
He was the epitome of a racing driver and a gentleman. He also came over to the States and blew the field away at Indy in 65! Also, no athletes on the planet are around more incredibly glamorous women than racing drivers.

Hitler as a youth. Then I'd kill myself. But it'd be cool because I'd only be dead for a day. U Mad History?

The guy who has the highest level secret clearance in the USA. So I could walk into Area 51 and check out its secrets as well as being able to go to any military base and go exploring.

Not to be 'that guy' but there is no person on this planet like that. Not even the president. You may think I'm wrong or crazy but there are things he doesn't even know.

The term 'need to know basis' is real and legit.
