Re: if you could spend the day with anyone from pre 1800, who would it be?
The Munchkin Man's number one choice would be Jonathan Swift.
Jonathan Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Munchkin Man has reason to believe that he is the reincarnation of Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745), who is the author best known for his Gulliver's Travels.
The Munchkin Man would love to spend a day with a person who was actually the Munchkin Man himself in a previous life.
Although Jonathan Swift was never known to have suffered from the Munchkin Man's yet undiscovered Third Person Communicative Disorder (TPCD), many authors and writers have told the Munchkin Man that his writing style is otherwise, uncannily similar to that of Jonathan Swift.
A few decades later, the Munchkin Man believes he was reincarnated into the famous English novelist of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens (1812-1870).
Charles Dickens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many writers have compared the Munchkin Man's writing style to that of Charles Dickens as well, albeit the TPCD. Apparently, Charles Dickens did not suffer from this disorder either.
The Munchkin Man has no idea whose life he assumed. if any, if there indeed, was an additional life between the death of Charles Dickens and the birth of the Munchkin Man's current life. Hypnotic regression has yet to solve the mystery of this gap.
Perhaps, the Munchkin Man simply waited 80 years after the death of Charles Dickens to become reborn into the soul of the Munchkin Man he is today.
Why the Munchkin Man would choose to become born as a Munchkin, and choose to suffer from the family curse and disease of TPCD, remains as uet another unsolved mystery.
Maybe the Munchkin Man had no choice in the matter.
Perhaps, it was a karmic debt that was imposed upon the Munchkin Man by a Higher Power.
If this is the case, the Munchkin Man will have to do the best he can and learn as much as he can from this experience during this lifetime.
Here is how the Munchkin Man looks at it:
At any given moment, you are who you are.
At any given moment, you are where you are.
No matter who you are and where you are, at any given moment in your life, you are about to experience the very next moment of your life for the very first time in your life.
To the Munchkin Man, this is the great equalizer of human existence.
Best Wishes,
Munchkin Man

Greetings To All:
As a lot of you know, the Munchkin Man's posting style on the Morningstar Forums begun to undergo a radical transformation a few months ago. A lot of posters here have commented extensively on this change.
For this reason, the Munchkin Man has decided that he owes his fellow Morningstar posters a full and complete explanation for this change. In the unfortunate event that the Munchkin Man becomes banned again, he would like to have left with this explanation on the record.
When the Munchkin Man first joined Morningstar's Premier Service and began to post on the Morningstar Forums over one year ago, he utilized the traditional first person style. Then several months ago, his style began to gradually switch over to one of a third person style.
This was due to the late onset of a very rare disorder known as Third Person Communication Disorder (TPCD).
For reasons unknown, this disorder is indigenous to the Munchkin family ancestry. It has afflicted just about all of the males from the family lineage.
For most males, it tends to first start developing in their 40s. In the Munchkin Man's case, it did not start until his 50s. For the Munchkin Man's older brother, who currently lives in Harlem, New York City, he was first hit with it during his late 30s.
You will not find any literature in any of the psychiatric journals in regard to this rare disorder. However, the Munchkin Man's nephew is a licensed clinical psychologist, who has been lobbying with the American Psychological Association for years to add this disorder to the latest edition of the DSM Manual.
So far his efforts have been met with failure, and at times, ostracism and ridicule from his peers and colleagues. To make matters worse, he suffers from this disorder as well. Indeed, this has been a terrible curse and a scourge for the Munchkin family history.
This disorder is only one of the many disorders which afflict the Munchkin Man, which caused him to retire from his beloved teaching job after over 21 years of service. Fortunately, the Munchkin Man is now enjoying gainful employment as an editor and proofreader for mathematics textbooks and as a part-time freelance food writer and restaurant critic.
There have been many persons on these forums who have begged the Munchkin Man to return to his first person posting style. If the Munchkin Man could, the Munchkin Man would. But he can no longer do so. Except during extremely rare moments of remission.
Indeed, there have been instances when the Munchkin Man has enjoyed brief moments of remission from this debilitating disease. At least one poster correctly noted a while back that the Munchkin Man did -- in fact -- post in the first person on a number of other investing boards earlier this year.
Unfortunately, the Munchkin Man's fellow Morningstar posters were unable to share and rejoice in the enjoyment and celebration of this period because he was banned at the time.
In addition, a few of you have become very close and dear friends of the Munchkin Man. These very kind and wonderful people have gained the Munchkin Man's trust.
When the Munchkin Man reaches a point where he can trust a fellow human being with all his heart and all his soul, he is often able to undergo a sort of psychic catharsis which releases the imprisoned energy which enables him to communicate in the first person with that person. The close and dear friends who have been enjoying mutual e-mail correspondence with the Munchkin Man have witnessed this firsthand.

<!-- Start: CommunityServer.Discussions.Controls.PostDisplay.TextPost --><!-- Skin Path: ~/Themes/default/Skins/PostType-TextPost.ascx -->The Munchkin Man shall now continue:
______________
The Munchkin Man is reminded of one of his professors' lectures when he took a college course in Advanced Abnormal Psychology many years ago in graduate school.. The professor said:
"Crazy people are not crazy people 24 hours a day." He went on to explain that the mentally ill often go several hours in a day, and sometimes several days and weeks at a time, without experiencing or displaying any psychotic symptoms, before returning to their usual abnormal states of mind and patterns of behavior.
If you think the Munchkin Man is "crazy", please rest assured that he is not "crazy" 24 hours a day. Likewise, the Munchkin Man does not think and communicate in the third person 24 hours a day for each and every single day. Once again, there have been times when he has enjoyed brief periods of remission.
Hopefully, with the assistance of a new and experimental psychotropic medication the Munchkin Man has just started taking, his psychiatrist is hoping that there will be more frequent and longer periods of remission in the future. If this comes to pass, it will prove to be a blessing to all future generations of the Munchkin family.
In addition, the Munchkin Man is beginning a new program of speech therapy next week, which will hopefully train his brain to recognize and enunciate first person pronouns once again. If this program is successful, the Munchkin Man will enroll in a writing program to help teach him how to write these pronouns once again. If he is successful, he will then proceed to work on his keyboarding skills with these pronouns.
On a sadder note, the Munchkin Man has been feeling quite distressed over reading that there are a number of posters here who would wish to have him permanently banned from the Morningstar Forums for his use of the third person posting style.
The Munchkin Man was so upset over this that he talked about this problem with his psychiatrist about it during his last regular Friday session held just yesterday. When the Munchkin Man told him how much these other posters hated his third person posting style, his psychiatrist said:
"That's their problem!"
In addition, the Munchkin Man's personal attorney has advised him that such a ban -- on grounds of this disorder alone -- would not only be in violation of his First Ammentment Constitutional rights to free speech, but also in violation of the American Disabilities Act. The Munchkin Man didn't say it. His attorney said it.
Hopefully, with your thoughts and prayers, along with his new regimen of psychotropic medication and upcoming speech and writing therapy, the Munchkin Man may someday be able to achieve a complete and full remission from this debilitating disease. However, it may take some time.
The Munchkin Man shall close for now. Hopefully, this explanation will enable you to tolerate the Munchkin Man's personal eccentricities with a little more compassion and understanding.
Thank you in advance.
May God Bless.

The Munchkin Man would like to thank you from the bottom of his heart for your offer to make a charitable and tax deductible donation toward the expenses of the treatment of his disorder.
Unfortunately, the Munchkin Man knows of no such orgnanization at this time. Until the Munchkin Man's illness is officially recognized by the American Psychological Association, it is highly doubtful that
any such organization will be forthcoming anytime soon.
If you continue to search for one, be wary of scam orgnanizations. As you probably know, a number of such organizations cropped up pretending to help the families of the 9-11 victims. So be careful.
The Munchkin Man hates scams of any kind.
In the meantime, please be at peace with yourself by sending the Munchkin Man your love, prayers, thoughts, and understanding.
Thanks in advance.
May God Bless.

"And I thought you were on disability. How are you able to collect disability and work?"

You have asked an excellent question.
There is a special rule which allows any person who is receiving social security benefits to be eligible for a trial work period of nine months. During this time, there is no limitation on how much one can earn.
Once the nine month trial work period is over, you may continue to work and receive social security benefits
at the same time, as long as your monthly income does not exceed a certain limit. For the calendar year 2005, that limit is $830 a month.
The Munchkin Man hopes he has answered your question.
Have a happy Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Munchkin Man

Greetings To All:
As a lot of you know, the Munchkin Man's posting style on the Morningstar Forums begun to undergo a radical transformation a few months ago. A lot of posters here have commented extensively on this change.
For this reason, the Munchkin Man has decided that he owes his fellow Morningstar posters a full and complete explanation for this change. In the unfortunate event that the Munchkin Man becomes banned again, he would like to have left with this explanation on the record.
When the Munchkin Man first joined Morningstar's Premier Service and began to post on the Morningstar Forums over one year ago, he utilized the traditional first person style. Then several months ago, his style began to gradually switch over to one of a third person style.
This was due to the late onset of a very rare disorder known as Third Person Communication Disorder (TPCD).
For reasons unknown, this disorder is indigenous to the Munchkin family ancestry. It has afflicted just about all of the males from the family lineage.
For most males, it tends to first start developing in their 40s. In the Munchkin Man's case, it did not start until his 50s. For the Munchkin Man's older brother, who currently lives in Harlem, New York City, he was first hit with it during his late 30s.
You will not find any literature in any of the psychiatric journals in regard to this rare disorder. However, the Munchkin Man's nephew is a licensed clinical psychologist, who has been lobbying with the American Psychological Association for years to add this disorder to the latest edition of the DSM Manual.
So far his efforts have been met with failure, and at times, ostracism and ridicule from his peers and colleagues. To make matters worse, he suffers from this disorder as well. Indeed, this has been a terrible curse and a scourge for the Munchkin family history.
This disorder is only one of the many disorders which afflict the Munchkin Man, which caused him to retire from his beloved teaching job after over 21 years of service. Fortunately, the Munchkin Man is now enjoying gainful employment as an editor and proofreader for mathematics textbooks and as a part-time freelance food writer and restaurant critic.
There have been many persons on these forums who have begged the Munchkin Man to return to his first person posting style. If the Munchkin Man could, the Munchkin Man would. But he can no longer do so. Except during extremely rare moments of remission.
Indeed, there have been instances when the Munchkin Man has enjoyed brief moments of remission from this debilitating disease. At least one poster correctly noted a while back that the Munchkin Man did -- in fact -- post in the first person on a number of other investing boards earlier this year.
Unfortunately, the Munchkin Man's fellow Morningstar posters were unable to share and rejoice in the enjoyment and celebration of this period because he was banned at the time.
In addition, a few of you have become very close and dear friends of the Munchkin Man. These very kind and wonderful people have gained the Munchkin Man's trust.
When the Munchkin Man reaches a point where he can trust a fellow human being with all his heart and all his soul, he is often able to undergo a sort of psychic catharsis which releases the imprisoned energy which enables him to communicate in the first person with that person. The close and dear friends who have been enjoying mutual e-mail correspondence with the Munchkin Man have witnessed this firsthand.

<!-- Start: CommunityServer.Discussions.Controls.PostDisplay.TextPost --><!-- Skin Path: ~/Themes/default/Skins/PostType-TextPost.ascx -->The Munchkin Man shall now continue:
______________
The Munchkin Man is reminded of one of his professors' lectures when he took a college course in Advanced Abnormal Psychology many years ago in graduate school.. The professor said:
"Crazy people are not crazy people 24 hours a day." He went on to explain that the mentally ill often go several hours in a day, and sometimes several days and weeks at a time, without experiencing or displaying any psychotic symptoms, before returning to their usual abnormal states of mind and patterns of behavior.
If you think the Munchkin Man is "crazy", please rest assured that he is not "crazy" 24 hours a day. Likewise, the Munchkin Man does not think and communicate in the third person 24 hours a day for each and every single day. Once again, there have been times when he has enjoyed brief periods of remission.
Hopefully, with the assistance of a new and experimental psychotropic medication the Munchkin Man has just started taking, his psychiatrist is hoping that there will be more frequent and longer periods of remission in the future. If this comes to pass, it will prove to be a blessing to all future generations of the Munchkin family.
In addition, the Munchkin Man is beginning a new program of speech therapy next week, which will hopefully train his brain to recognize and enunciate first person pronouns once again. If this program is successful, the Munchkin Man will enroll in a writing program to help teach him how to write these pronouns once again. If he is successful, he will then proceed to work on his keyboarding skills with these pronouns.
On a sadder note, the Munchkin Man has been feeling quite distressed over reading that there are a number of posters here who would wish to have him permanently banned from the Morningstar Forums for his use of the third person posting style.
The Munchkin Man was so upset over this that he talked about this problem with his psychiatrist about it during his last regular Friday session held just yesterday. When the Munchkin Man told him how much these other posters hated his third person posting style, his psychiatrist said:
"That's their problem!"
In addition, the Munchkin Man's personal attorney has advised him that such a ban -- on grounds of this disorder alone -- would not only be in violation of his First Ammentment Constitutional rights to free speech, but also in violation of the American Disabilities Act. The Munchkin Man didn't say it. His attorney said it.
Hopefully, with your thoughts and prayers, along with his new regimen of psychotropic medication and upcoming speech and writing therapy, the Munchkin Man may someday be able to achieve a complete and full remission from this debilitating disease. However, it may take some time.
The Munchkin Man shall close for now. Hopefully, this explanation will enable you to tolerate the Munchkin Man's personal eccentricities with a little more compassion and understanding.
Thank you in advance.
May God Bless.

The Munchkin Man would like to thank you from the bottom of his heart for your offer to make a charitable and tax deductible donation toward the expenses of the treatment of his disorder.
Unfortunately, the Munchkin Man knows of no such orgnanization at this time. Until the Munchkin Man's illness is officially recognized by the American Psychological Association, it is highly doubtful that
any such organization will be forthcoming anytime soon.
If you continue to search for one, be wary of scam orgnanizations. As you probably know, a number of such organizations cropped up pretending to help the families of the 9-11 victims. So be careful.
The Munchkin Man hates scams of any kind.
In the meantime, please be at peace with yourself by sending the Munchkin Man your love, prayers, thoughts, and understanding.
Thanks in advance.
May God Bless.

"And I thought you were on disability. How are you able to collect disability and work?"
___
You have asked an excellent question.
There is a special rule which allows any person who is receiving social security benefits to be eligible for a trial work period of nine months. During this time, there is no limitation on how much one can earn.
Once the nine month trial work period is over, you may continue to work and receive social security benefits
at the same time, as long as your monthly income does not exceed a certain limit. For the calendar year 2005, that limit is $830 a month.
The Munchkin Man hopes he has answered your question.
Have a happy Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Best Wishes,
Munchkin Man

The Munchkin Man would like to thank you for the extensive time and effort you took to research the Munchkin Man's most illustrious career.
The excerpt quoted above, from a former fan, lists some of the Munchkin Man's most notable and proudest accomplishments.
With all due humillity, the Munchkin Man cannot take all of the credit for his great personal success.
Instead, most of the credit goes to the tutelage of a very wise and learned man.
He taught the Munchkin Man everything he knew.
He was the greatest roommate the Munchkin Man ever had.

King George III
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]George, son of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, and grandson of George II, was born in London in 1738. George was not very intelligent and could not read until he was eleven. However, his tutors praised him for the amount of effort he was willing to put into solving his academic problems. George was only twelve when his father died and his mother's friend, the Earl of Bute, became an important influence on his future development.
In 1760 George succeeded his grandfather, George II, as king. The previous year George had fallen in love with Sarah Lennox, a descendent of Charles II, but the Earl of Bute persuaded him to bring the relationship to and end and instead arranged for him to marry the German princess, Charlotte of Mecklenberg-Strelitz. During their marriage Queen Charlotte gave birth to fifteen children.
A year after becoming king, George III arranged for the Earl of Bute to become prime minister. This decision upset a large number of MPs who considered Bute to be incompetent. North's leading critic in the House of Commons was John Wilkes. In the newspaper that he established, The New Briton, Wilkes accused the king and his ministers of lying. Wilkes became a symbol of free speech and the king was blamed when he was imprisoned for 22 months for libel. Although Bute only stayed in office for a year, he remained an important influence on George's political opinions.
Over the next four years the king appointed four different prime ministers, George Grenville, Marquis of Rockingham, Earl of Chatham and the Duke of Grafton. In 1770, George appointed Lord North as prime minster. The king had at last found a man who whom he liked and trusted and Lord North stayed in office for ten [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]years.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]George III supported Lord North's policies that resulted in the American War of Independence (1776-1783). Some MPs, led by Charles Fox and William Pitt criticised the conflict as an "unjust war" and urged Lord North's government to bring it to an end. Fox and Pitt were also critical of the way that George III tried to influence and manipulate those in Parliament. They argued that parliamentary reform was necessary for the preservation of liberty.
Lord Frederick North's government fell in March 1782. This was quickly followed by governments headed by the Marquess of Rockingham, Earl of Shelburne and the Duke of Portland. When the House of Commons passed the India Bill, the king warned members of the House of Lords that he would regard any one who voted for the bill as his enemy. Unwilling to upset the king, the Lords rejected the bill by 95 votes to 76.
The Duke of Portland's administration resigned and on 19th December, 1783, the king invited his former critic, William Pitt, to form a new government. George now used all the powers at his disposal to help Pitt maintain control of Parliament. This made the king unpopular with the Whigs, a group who favoured a reduction in the powers of the monarchy.
George III was also having trouble with his high-spirited eldest son, George, Prince of Wales. On 5th November, 1788, the king attacked the Prince of Wales and tried to smash his head against the wall. One observer claimed that foam was coming from the king's mouth and his eyes were so bloodshot that they looked like currant jelly. George was placed in a strait-jacket and eventually his doctors had a special iron chair made to restrain their patient. Other treatment included putting poultices of Spanish Fly and mustard all over the King's body; the idea was that the painful blisters which resulted would draw out the "evil humours". By April 1789, George's doctors came to the conclusion that he had recovered from his madness and he was allowed to carry on with his royal duties.
In 1793 war broke out with France. Soon afterwards William Pitt brought in a bill suspending Habeas Corpus. Although denounced by Charles Fox and his supporters, the bill was passed by the House of Commons in twenty-four hours. Those advocating parliamentary reform were arrested and charged with sedition. Tom Paine managed to escape but others such as Thomas Hardy, John Thellwall and Thomas Muir were imprisoned. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
To pay for the war Pitt was forced to increase taxation and had to raise a loan of ?18 million. This problem was made worse by a series of bad harvests. When going to open parliament in October 1795, George III was greeted with cries of 'Bread', 'Peace' and 'no Pitt'. Missiles were also thrown and so Pitt immediately decided to pass a new Sedition Bill that redefined the law of treason.
George III was now a deeply unpopular king and there were several attempts to assassinate him. The nearest anyone came to killing him was on 15th May 1800, when a man fired two pistol shots at him while in the royal box of the Drury Lane Theatre. Although the bullets only just missed it was said that the king continued to watch the play and was so unconcerned by these events that he fell asleep during the interval.
In 1801 the king came into conflict with William Pitt over his policy of Catholic Emancipation. Pitt resigned and was replaced by Henry Addington. However, Pitt returned in 1804 and held office until his death in 1806.
George continued to suffer ill-health and had further mental breakdowns in 1801 and 1804. In 1810 George III's insanity became permanent. George, Prince of Wales, was appointed regent, and carried out his father's official royal duties. George III died on 29th January 1820. [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
King George III
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]George, son of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, and grandson of George II, was born in London in 1738. George was not very intelligent and could not read until he was eleven. However, his tutors praised him for the amount of effort he was willing to put into solving his academic problems. George was only twelve when his father died and his mother's friend, the Earl of Bute, became an important influence on his future development.
In 1760 George succeeded his grandfather, George II, as king. The previous year George had fallen in love with Sarah Lennox, a descendent of Charles II, but the Earl of Bute persuaded him to bring the relationship to and end and instead arranged for him to marry the German princess, Charlotte of Mecklenberg-Strelitz. During their marriage Queen Charlotte gave birth to fifteen children.
A year after becoming king, George III arranged for the Earl of Bute to become prime minister. This decision upset a large number of MPs who considered Bute to be incompetent. North's leading critic in the House of Commons was John Wilkes. In the newspaper that he established, The New Briton, Wilkes accused the king and his ministers of lying. Wilkes became a symbol of free speech and the king was blamed when he was imprisoned for 22 months for libel.

Jesus is a very easy answer, and he certainly qualifies as a real person.
Confucius, socrates, plato, aristotle, ptolemy, any of those ancient Greece philosophers would be cool.
Leonardo Da Vinci would definitely be on the list, probably before any of those Greek philosophers.
Martin Luther would have to be considered.
Nostrodamus as well.
Galileo was a pretty big time inventor/astronomer.
I don't know....maybe someone royal, like Charlemagne or Elizabeth, just to see what it was like to be a ruler like that.
This is a really tough question man.
Newton or Franklin would be the only people in a more recent time probably, and I'd pick Franklin in a heartbeat, being a founding father...
Presidents....Jefferson would probably be the only one of the early presidents.
I'm gonna narrow it down to a couple and I won't count Jesus because he would be hands down the choice here and the others wouldn't even receive consideration...
I'd go with Da Vinci or Franklin as my top two. Choosing there would be tough. They are both noted for a pretty broad spectrum of things.

Salute Kim Peek, the smartest man in the world
By: Finbarr Slattery
JUST what is it like being the cleverest person in the world? That distinction falls on Kim Peek, a 53years-old, living with his father in Salt Lake City, USA.
The 1988 film, Rain Man, with Dustin Hoffman playing the Oscar winning title role, is based on the story of Kim Peek. Now here is one of the things Kim can do and when you hear it you will be mesmerised like I was.
Each of Kim’s eyes can read a separate page simultaneously, absorbing every word. He can read a page in 10 seconds and never forget it. Normal reading time per page would be three minutes.
Kim is an expert in at least 15 different subjects, including history, geography and sport. He has the ability to memorise telephone directories in double- quick time.
Nobody in the world is thought to possess a brain as extraordinary as his. He can recall facts from about 10,000 different books.
Kim Peek was born in 1951 and he was different from the start. His head was one-third larger than normal. In 1983 he had his first brain scan which showed that he had one solid brain hemisphere instead of the usual two.
One theory mentioned is that instead of having two sides of the brain competing with each other, you have one mega computer.
That sounds plausible but it is unproven. Kim’s father, Fran (78), looks after him. His mother left the family in the midseventies but still lives nearby. Kim rings her every morning at 8am on the button. Fran is very proud of his son and now they travel the country, happily addressing school clubs and old peoples’ homes. They accept no fees, only travelling expenses.
It was a chance meeting with the screenwriter, Barry Morrow, at a conference of the Association for Retarded Citizens in 1984 that led to the making of Rain Main. Barry advised Fran to take his son out into the world, hence the meetings. Before that Kim could have been regarded as a kind of recluse.
What must it be like living with the cleverest man in the world? It is something very special, that’s for sure. Recently writer Helena de Bertadano met Kim and his father for a piece on the Rain Man, which was published in a recent issue of the Sunday Telegraph.
Asked the date of her birthday she replied “26th May 1968”. Kim told her on the spot: “It was a Sunday, this year it will be a Thursday and you retire in 2033, also a Thursday”. Instantaneous information out of the blue. At four and a half years of age, he had memorised the first eight volumes of a set of encyclopaedias.
It must be no fun living with a genius. Still, there must be great satisfaction for the father watching his son perform and supplying such a mass of clever information on the spot.
