Name some historical figures in their prime to bring to the 21st century for a day to hang out, and where do you take them or do with them?

Here's a few I'd bring:

Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King--Take them to meet Obama
Babe Ruth--Bring him to watch a baseball game at a local Babe Ruth league
Leonardo da Vinci--Take him for a helicopter ride
Johannes Gutenberg--Take him to a public library
Thomas Edison--Take him to a movie in Times Square

and finally,

Adolf Hitler--Take him to see Inglourious Basterds, and then hand him over to Israel (he doesn't get to go back)

Bring Jesus back and ask him how he felt it had worked out for his teachings.

Leonardo Da Vinci would be cool as he would probably still have a lot to contribute.

Genghis Khan, I would have him reconquer all of Asia and then hack Europe into pieces and sell the rubble to the highest bidder.

Confucius, just to see what he would say of China, now.

Mencius, just to see what he would say of Confucius and his comments on the 'new' China.

Noah - to see what happens when you let humanity live on.

Red Cloud; I would have him spend 24-hours in an Indian Casino.

Thomas Jefferson - I would have him visit all the slums around Paris.
