Odd question...

Asked by whom? Nick, of course.

So, on my facebook profile, Nick asked me who I would bathe with if I could bathe with anyone(from anytime period) and why. I know it's a weird question, but what can you expect from him? He gave his top seven choices, so I guess I'll give mine. So, I want to take a bath with these people, mostly just to see and talk to them. Some people who seem unbearably unattractive to me, however intriguing they are, will not make this list. I don't want to feel sick just looking at them, that would be highly disrespectful. And, I get to wear my bathing suit. If I want to...

In order of increasing priority:

7. Marc Antony- Not the cheesy singer, but Julius Caesar's second in command. I would like to hear all about Caesar's conquest and assassination, and about the steamy affair he had with Miss Cleopatra. I have a thing for powerful men.

6. Ferdinand de Magellan- So in every portrait I've seen, he's insanely ugly. But I like to imagine that he was not so bad looking when he was like 22. Seriously though, in his case, it doesn't matter to me. He was the first to CIRCUMNAVIGATE the globe. HE NAMED THE PACIFIC OCEAN. How many men can you say that about? "Oh, he named that ocean." He also didn't directly destroy any native tribes, to my knowledge.

5. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- Because I have a thing for brilliant men. And musicians.

4.5 NOT Fredy Omar, unless he comes Con Su Banda. But I don't think the jacuzzi's big enough for everyone.

4. Thomas Jefferson- 3rd President of the US of A, drafter of the Declaration of Independence. I know he wasn't perfect-- he kind of ignored that part about "all men are created equal" and owned slaves, but Ben Franklin, my fav founding father, is too fat to bathe with. Jeffy did plant the first tomato in North America, though, and I'm obsessed with tomatoes.

3. Geoffrey Chaucer- Author of the very dirty and sly Canterbury Tales... Who knows what this guy looked like? Who cares? He put the ENGLISH language on the map. I owe my MAJOR to him! And he's hilarious-- naughty stories about clergy get me every time!

2. Mary, Mother of Jesus- I have some serious questions to ask her. Who was Jesus? What did his life really mean for us? And-- even more pressing--Is she really on that billboard on Canal St.?

1.5. NOT a 21-year-old Paul McCartney! Do you even KNOW me?

1. Raul Gomez Rojas- obviously.
