Please don't think I'm nuts for saying this, BUT:
With a reasonable amount of security, I would invite 20 famous serial killers just to see what was on their minds. I just want to know first hand what in the world was goin on with them that made them do the things that they did.
Needless to say, Jeffrey Dahmer WILL NOT be invited to my dinner party!

I am interested in technology in a big way Tonyfan but I'm not too bothered about knowing who invents it.

I can understand this but I wouldn't be brave enough to have 20 maniacs at my dinner table. ;D
I'll add Bill Murray onto my list if I haven't done so already. Incredibly funny man.

I'm not going to list all twenty (I'd rather invite only 10 or so), but some of the people I'd invite would include:
John Lennon
Jim Morrison
Albert Einstein
Jim Carey
George W. Bush
Bill Gates
I dunno, musicians are actually very boring people to be around, so I don't think Lennon or Morrison would be as great as you would think...Anyway
