Pick three

Karen was doing this on her blog, but it was called
10 people 10 minutes: 10 people you'd like to spend 10 minutes with

I couldn't narrow it down that tightly, so I picked 10 categories and listed three people in each category, off the top of my head, who would be interesting, infuriating or even scary to spend 10 minutes with.

My list
(in no particular order)

World leaders:
Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, Catherine the Great

Saints:
St. Paul, St. Rita of Cascia, Venerable Solanus Casey

Science:
Nikola Tesla, Pascal, Richard Feynman

Music:
Scott Joplin, Mozart, Eric Clapton

Art:
Michelangelo, Georgia O'Keefe, Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Philosophy
:
Rene Descarte, Ludwig Feuerbach/Friedrich Nietzsche, John Locke

Religion:
Martin Luther, Tom Cruise, Joseph Smith/Brigham Young

Literature
:
Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain (I had Chesterton, but had to break the Brit Lit blockade)

Theology
:
St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Dietrich von Hildebrand

Sports/Entertainment:
John Wayne, Houdini, Dean Martin

Consider yourself tagged (I didn't tag anyone last time and got scolded, so TAG!!!) If you don't have a blog, place whatever answers you have in the combox.
