"Forget all these nuanced answers, tell us your one favorite thing!"

@fauxpasiii Or at least shower him with fawning compliments about being the world's greatest polymath. He loves that, even if it isn't true.
-
@1peterz Or, they'd be incredibly attracted to each other and go off to another room.

@1peterz I think you're confusing Jesus with "christians" :D
-
I like Stephen Fry - I like him existing in the same world and time as myself - I wish I paid him more attention earlier.

Who on Earth gets an interview with Stephen Fry and then puts a stopwatch on him? If you ever get in a room with Fry, there are two things you should do:
1) Shut the fuck up.
2) Listen.

I'm wordstruck by the word starstruck.

@1peterz Do you really believe Jesus would throw food? He would turn the other cheek.
-
@simwatts he is one of your national treasures.

He cant be serious?! This is the last person I would expect to have had a troubled childhood that involved academic failure and prison. He seem to be the smartest, most articulate and ...."british" person I know of. Its always the smart ones that fail at school
Of all the people this man is the one I'd like to chat to the most. He's just so authentic and unpretentious. His ability to articulate openly what his life has been like will help some youngsters out there going through some of the things he had to go through. So role model, as suggested previously, is a good call.

Stephen Fry is pure genius in the Albert Einstein category of genius. Genius has become an overused word, but not in this case. His ability to connect with people is astounding. If I could have dinner and speak with five people (living or dead) for an hour Stephen Fry would be on that list. The problem is Jesus Christ would also be on the list, and they would end up throwing food at each other.
