So, as a spin off of the back-in-time thread, who would you resurrect from the netherworld and why?
I would resurrect Freddie Mercurcy, because he is magnificent in all areas.
He died way too young, and most everything he did was amazing. He brought so much joy to the world. Imagine what he could have created, given a few more years.
Or possibly Steve Irwin. He'd probably just start up a foundation to Save the Sting Rays, because that's the kind of dude he was. Then he can team up with Al Gore and destroy global warming once and for all.
Man fuck that noise. Not only did the dude not build anything lasting, he totally pussied out in his thirties. Caesar went out getting stabbed by dozens of motherfuckers, not from a little cold.
I realize he isn't dead yet, but I am keeping this as my answer for when he DOES die, because the world should never be without his genius. He shaped the sense of humour I have today - I grew up with his movies in my life.
I think Freddie Mercury, Fred Rogers, and Gaius Julius Caesar are all fine choices. But really, I have to go with C. F. Gauss. See where he could take current mathematics.

If you're reserving Mel, then I'll reserve Pratchett.
Also, Space: Above and Beyond. Both dead before their time.
Holy shit, other people than me watched this years ago?
Btw, is the thread title a homage to that cool-as-shit X-files-Millenium crossover episode?
Oh, being on tpoic and all that: Miezko Talarcyk, vocals/guitars of Nasum. That man had at least one-two groundbreaking albums left in him. And to think fucking Dregen of Backyard Babies "fame" survived that tsunami... ;_;
"Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon..."

That's a waste man. Why bother? So his dumb Christian Scientist ass could get sick again- not take any medication because it's heresy and then die, AGAIN?
That said I'd be down for more crazy creature features.
I think we should bring back Jesus just so he could tell all the religious nuts to shut the fuck up and stop using his name to justify all their evil shit.
I'll put a second vote in for Mr. Rogers. He's the only 'celebrity' whose death I've been truly saddened by. The world became a little darker that day.
In all reality (the Shane Macgowan was trolling for a "you call THAT alive?"), I'd bring back Scipio Africanus, Mohammad, and FDR. I'd use them as a 3-man team to take over the Middle East.
Yeah, I'm not so sure on the Hunter S Thompson bit. Resurrecting anyone who committed suicide just seems a little...wrong. They're chillin' on their nonexistence, don't fuck around with it.
Also as a third option I would resurrect the zombie Michael Jackson from Thriller. Then he can make decent music again.

I think he, yeah.
Wait, am I doing this right?

Motherfucker could clean up all this Middle East nonsense in six months flat.
It would be funny in so many ways.
Because frankly, I can't imagine anyone being a better person.

What can I say, I'm curious.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

When did Santa die?
It's hard to revive those who got sucked into a jet turbine
Superglue and patience...
I'd be happy with Beethoven, Mozart, or Bach too.

I'm sorry I had to
Seriously though I would probably have to second Douglas Adams. Everything he wrote made me happy.

I dont think that would work because Oswald said he was being used as a scapegoat/fallguy. If anything it would strengthen the theorists.
My vote? Jesus, so I could see a couple billion people become really really disappointed with reality.
