7. One of the female pirates of the 17th and 18th centuries.
That, or, I wouldn't kick Mary Queen of Scots out of bed, but she was a little dim, wasn't she?

8. Jesus
The actors who play him in movies are always great-looking, so I'm assuming he was too. He was kind and honest and smart, though the crucification part would suck.

Quite a bit, actually.

11. Mata Hari
Always had a thing for a "lady of intrigue".

Plus, she was reputed to be , umm, quite skilled. I'm sure I'd learn many useful things.

15. I agree with that one
I'm attracted to dangerous women. (If I was single, I'd love to sleep with Michelle Malkin, too)

In the vain hope that maybe she could be converted like Luke was able to turn Darth Vader back to the good side.

17. Hitler
I would seduce him, someone with that much self-loathing was almost certainly repressing his homosexuality, I'm not gay, so it might be tough to pull off, but I could do it in that Bugs Bunny obviously crossdressed way, which seems like it worked in the mid 1930s with bad wittle men, and then I would have slipped him some poison that would have rendered him unable to speak anything but Yiddish, so that he would have lived out his days as a homosexual Jewish Gypsy wandering the German countryside.

21. Yeah, I know what you mean. In a "South Park" sort of way.
As when Cartman seduced Osama Bin Laden. :-)

Yes, the evidence is there that Hitler might have been homosexual. It's not something that I like to consider, though.
