Not a poll because the answers are exponential.

I'll let that grow on its own.

-------------------------------

But for me, I come back as Warren Beatty.

No idea what it's like to date him, but damn being him wouldn't be so bad.

1. As me in high school.
Then I could take all this stuff I learned later and do some good with it. :)

3. I want to come back as ME...
And I want to remember everything I've learned so far.

There is seriously some stuff I didn't do right this time, and I want a do-over! OK?

:P

8. Or better yet, EVERYONE.
What a trip that would be. You would know the best and worst of the human condition.

Sure it would be brutal, but I'm sure it would have some perks too. Think about it.

Also, you would certainly be the most knowledgeable person ever to have lived.

But that's beside the point.

13. Jesus Christ...
.
.
.
...but only because I'm not karmically worthy of coming back as John Lennon.
.
.
.
OH!!! And I'd make alcohol the worldwide currency standard and limitless
energy source and teach everyone that water-into-wine trick.
.
.
.
And then host a never-ending trashcan party.
.
.
.
'Course... I'd probably have to move out of Southern Arizona. Hmmm, turning SAND
into wine. MiddleFingerMom's Vineyard Merlot 2010 -- precocious, insouciant, and
just a LITTLE bit gritty. Pair it with KFC Double Downs, chili-cheese fries, and
white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.
.
.
.
Did I mention it would also be the BESTEST anti-cholesterol treatment EVER?
.
.
.
.
.
I like coffee.

15. Neil Armstrong.
This reincarnation has a time travel element as well, right?

Then Neil Armstrong.

The one human who did quite possibly the coolest thing any human has ever done.

30. I've no idea.
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 03:00 AM by some guy
I don't think I'd want to come back as someone currently alive. It would be crowded in their body with them.

(or rude to knock them out of their body.)

I wouldn't want to come back as somebody already dead, because - what would be the point of that?

It would be nice to come back as somebody who does really good things, and / or has a really cool life, but without being able to know ahead of time who that would be, it's difficult to name that person.
<edit> 1st person to live on Mars. That would be interesting. :)

38. I'd like to reincarnate as Jesus Christ
So I could school some of those dumbasses doing things claiming it was because "Jesus told me to" that they are WHACKED and need medication.

CHristine O'Donnell - I would start with you!
