Four people......Hmmmmmm.
1. Arthur C. Clarke. He's the only author who has achieved a perhaps esoteric distinction. He has published works under each of the ten major divisions of the library-science Dewey Decimal System.
2. William Shakespeare. I don't think anybody has ever understood human nature so well.
3. Leonarda Da Vinci. Some of his ideas are so anachronistic (that word applies to all things out of time, not just old ideas brought forward), it is like he could see the future, but he also understood it. Besides, he sculpted David. And we have the same birthday.
4. The Buddha. I know there is a real name for this dude, but I'm dysnamic. I don't think I have to 'splain this one.
Wouldn't know what to feed them, though, so it would have to be a smorgasbord.
