Consider the history of civilization, read Will Durant if you don't know the history (all 20 volumes, I can't lend this to you ghosts, because it's one collection I am very sensitive at, I want to take the history of civilization to grave with me!). Then, whom would you chose to be if you could be someone other than yourself? (you could also chose an animal or a plant).
If I had only one choice, I would chose to be Einstein. My second choice is Gandhi. Third, Shakespeare. Fourth, elephant. Fifth, Siberian Tiger. Sixth, Arizona cactus. Seventh, Marijuana leaf (leave me alone). Eighth, water. Nineth, a cell (bone cell for the time being). Tenth, Myself (Nobody). Eleventh, Nietzsche.
10 Reasons: 1. He didn't make it in Durant's books, so he is even more original. 2. He was a German and a Jew (how stronger can you get in terms of race and religion?) 3. He was the best scientist but he had a profound sense of the divine (read his quotes). 4. He was best at what he did (Nobel prizes). 5. He was always alone (even with his closest family members). 6. He didn't need to go to a hair stylist, his hair would always look awesome, especially when he woke up in the morning (I am not making fun). 7. His ideas are closest to how I see the universe (this is my utmost egotistical statement). 8. He devoted his life to something bigger than himself. 9. I love him (he is my idol). 10. Leave private issues private!

My mind can go as far as yesterday or the day before yesterday at the most. So I would go with the Indian guy in “dead man”, he who talks loud but says nothing, he who is nobody. I wish I could play guitar like Neil Young, if not, just become a theme in his dead man melody.
Very good taste.
