Recite from memory? If so, that is an impressive feat.

yes, but i regret to inform you that i memorized it according to the NKJV.

Why did you memorize it?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Who wouldn't.

That's very nice of you to say.

Yes. Bizarre, but highly symbolic imagery. Some scholars, and those doctors who have nothing better to do than spend their time diagnosing dead historical figures, believe that Ezekiel may have been epileptic. But as there are a significant amount of disputes regarding the dating of texts (usually split between pre- and post-exilic texts), living the life of someone in that exilic period would be phenomenal. Then I could find out what texts were available, their present structure, as well as possible links that may exist between other texts. For example, there are many links between the Book of Ezekiel and the legal ethics literature of the Holiness Code (Lev 17-26), so there is a good deal of debate as to whether H was shaped by Ezk, Ezk was affected by H, or if Ezk and H both drew their inspiration from a priestly Proto-H source.

At this point we may be capable of evaluating Ezekiel in terms of supersocionics. No promises though because very little is known about epilepsy.

I wouldn't want to live another person's life, but I absolutely would want to see Abraham's life. Absolutely.

Nope.....

Abraham Lincoln was both the first and the best person that came into my head. Still haven't thought of anyone better. I was leaving to go to Finland so it was a rather quick post in any event. I'm really not sure I know the intricacies of the lives of enough famous historical figures to be able to make a completely informed decision obviously, but the life of Abraham Lincoln encompasses at least some of the things that I would ideally represent in my life. Might come off as too 'obvious' a person, though honestly I'm not sure I could think of anyone better. Marshal Mannerheim might be one....

I shot a Lincoln joke at point blank range to no effect!

[reckoner]

Einstein
Frank Lloyd Wright

two that popped into my mind...long lives and they made a huge impact in their fields

You should really go into theatre.
