I would personally bring back to life any rich person who left their entire estate to their cat. I would bring them back to life, show them starving people around the world and then kill them and let the starving people feast on the cat.
Then if I got around to it, I'd think about bringing back some other people. Adams would be a chill guy...but I was thinking...Dracula? perhaps Frankenstein? I think it'd be good for a laugh. Plus, if Dracula started taking over, I could become a vampire and get in his good graces before he drains all you silly humans dry. and Frankenstein (the Mary Shelly version) would be awesome to hang out with. he was educated and could easily get the stuff off the top shelf without a little ladder. and if you're gonna need a friend to help you move...who better than a 7 foot tall behemoth?

Nothing is "gentle" about the Harvesting Amoeba. Piranhas come to mind...

The only thing worse than the harvesting ameoba is the dreaded "milking ameoba".

Frankenstein was the doctor, it's Frankenstein's monster that you are referring to. It amazes me what the English students of today are coming to

Please. If I could raise the dead, I'd bring back 'Sir' Francis Bacon. Then I'd kick him to death.
I've always had it in for that guy.
Then I'd bring back Adam Smith, andsmack him over and over with my decidedly non-invisible hand.
DouglasAdams would be, like, maybe number 37 on my list. Wouldn't hurt him, though.

Well obviously, Frankenstein was the last name of the good doctor. Since, for all intents and purposes, the creature is the son (or at least the creation of) the doctor, one would assume that it would recieve his surname. Thus, while it may be more prudent to call the creature "Frankenstien Jr.", that just sounds dumb and I didn't feel like paying Mel Brooks the $100 charge for the use of the copywrited title "Young Frankenstein".
Thus, I have successfully B.S.'ed my way out of a caffine deficiancy-induced mistake and I feel that much dirtier for it.

Cohen yeah I've always liked that from mostly harmless. It was in 30 foot tall fiery letters and spells the demise of the most beloved character in the series "For the last time". Which was said because he had killed him off like 5 times before it.
The current BBC Radio 4 presentation of the show is really good. They are doing Life The Universe and Everything. Douglas had recorded the audio books himself, i have them all, and they took his voice for one of his characters.

Actually, English majors and those who already have their degrees (mine comes in real handy at work. No, seriously. Okay, you got me-- it doesn't. Sue me.) are entitled to take creative liberties, up to and including bastardizing words and making up new ones when circumstances dictate. (i.e., when we need to sound pompous and/or knowledgable about something. Anything. Trust me, it's a perfectly cromulent thing to do.) To 'mislabel' Frankenstein's monster as Frankenstein is no big deal among the literary elite. Ergo, Phe'nix's (apparent) misuse of ofnomenclature is, uh, easily explificated.
Also, one could argue that the real monster is Dr. Frankenstein himself, thus clouding matters even further.
