She may get in some deep, polite digs, but I think Scarlett will run roughshod over her. Or maybe not. Maybe she'd go ballistic and everyone would give all the points to Melanie. Hmmm...<br /><br />And your thought of Franklin and Da Vinci makes me think of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." They had that homework assignment - what would the historical figures make of San Dimas, California? Joan of Arc took to aerobics, Genghis Khan liked the sporting goods store, etc. Funny stuff.<br /><br />I think it would be neat to see average citizens from different time periods and what they make of our modern world. Or to see what someone like Da Vinci could do given what we know now.CrispyRicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302075204880024936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-53759530954447341572009-07-14T11:56:47.802-04:002009-07-14T11:56:47.802-04:001.

I would love to see what Benjamin Franklin, the inventor, and Leonardo Da Vinci would think of our modern world. What would Da Vinci think of airplanes and space flight? What would Franklin think of what we have done with electricity?<br /><br />3. As for GWTW (my favorite book/movie of all time) it would be Scarlett v. Melanie, both strong women, opposite sides of the same coin, in a debate. Maybe with Margaret Mitchell there to monderate.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-30034649644512915192009-07-14T11:09:17.470-04:002009-07-14T11:09:17.470-04:00Freedom21, good call. . . a Bewitch-off!
