That's right! You've won one free resurrection ticket, to be used on the dead person of your choice! They'll come back in full health, either midaged (if they died while elderly) or younger. They'll be able to read and write your native language, and otherwise remember everything about their own lives and culture.
Whom would you bring back?

I'll save it for use on myself after I am dead if that is allowed
If not, Alexander the Great.

Interesting question fable, I suppose it would probably be Llewelyn the last, I really do wish to know whether his death which caused the Welsh to be over run by a savage horde from the East was caused by a messanger or was it a grand conspiracy against him, or was it his own stupid fault for being thrown from a horse and the rest is propoganda.
Although I am really tempted by Jimmy Hoffa or maybe J Edgar Hoover.
It's actually a tough choice, so in face of a tough choice I have decided to be glib.

1. Quaid-e-Azam: to set our country. We lost our founding father 1 year into our independence.
2. Khalid Bin Waleed: It is time to unite the Islamic world. Just a note aside, Khalid Bin Waleed is know the Sword of Allah. The one man to conquer the majority of the Arab world at the time of the Holy Prophet (SAW).

George Washington so that he could kick Bush's arse out of the White House.
Or Abe Lincoln for the same reason.

| | | easy. I leave a will, giving the person all my money but requiring them to ressurect me. this will be overseen by my executors. once I am resurrected, I don't have to pay them - for a considerable amount of time at least - cos I'm not dead anymore. I can then change my will.
I've given this too much thought...

Nice to see this topic back again. It is an interesting idea, as was its corollary.
Last time I mentioned saving the resurrection for my family, or maybe using it on my dog. Now I wonder if a good Democratic candidate for president might be better. Could I resurrect Al Gore's career? Or maybe I should bring John F. Kennedy back.

JFK? You'd have to find his brain in the national archives first.
