Re-incarnation choices

Pretend you had a choice to be reincarnate and put back on Earth as whatever or whomever you chose? Who or what would it be and why? Also, you are able to live in whatever era you choose, be it the past as far back as biblical times (even though a few have already lived it

) or way off in the future.

I would come back as me at the turn of the Century when families stayed and worked together, same husband, same children! I would wish that I was wiser at a younger age, and spent much more time with my children, reading together by the light of a fireplace and a coal oil lamp, living in a log cabin by a lake!

...with lots of bugspray.

I wouldn't mind living the life of King Arthur for a bit, though I wouldn't want the whole thing, but I might have been wise enough to keep that Lancelot away from my Gwynevere.

Plus the whole knowledge of how to produce gunpowder, and my knowledge of mechanical engineering, mass transfer, and fluid dynamics would allow me to make some awesome seige weapons.

I'd choose from: Goethe, Beethoven, or perhaps even Trotsky. Buddha, or Moliere. Perhaps Lao-Tzu if he existed. Or Walter Benjamin. So many people to choose from!

In one way or the other, they all lived exemplary lives. Of course, most of them made their fair share of mistakes, but that is inevitable in life. Most of them had their shares of tragedies, but that is the way everything is.

Yup, that's definately a 10 on the modesty scale.

Looks like I have a protege. <sp>

Be careful who you pick. Many European Queens lost their head (through beheading). Those were the times.
