Everybody’s talking about who they were in a past life these days, and it’s always royalty, but let’s be honest, how many of us could possibly have been Cleopatra or Julius Cesar? Don’t you think that at least a few of us were poor janitors in Louisiana in the 1930s? We can’t all have been royalty, but here are five historical figures we wish we were the reincarnation of…
George S. Patton
Besides being a legendary general and a crazy sonofagun, Patton was also something of a poet, focusing on the concept of past lives in some of his work. Through a Glass, Darkly, is written from the perspective of a soldier who has fought and died in every major war, only to be reincarnated once more as a soldier. The idea of an immortal fighter, being reborn every generation or so to serve the common good, is an interesting one.
Elvis
Come on, who wouldn’t want to be Elvis Presley? There’s an entire industry centered around dressing like the guy and singing his songs, and believe us, these impersonators get just as much attention from the ladies as The King himself did. Nothing would be better for one of those impersonators to hear that they are, in fact, the reincarnation of The King of Rock and Roll. Presley always had an interest in Eastern philosophy, the martial arts and the cosmic level of reality.
Ben Franklin
Benjamin Franklin was probably the most eccentric, oddball and offbeat of the founding fathers. We know him as the inventor of the glass harmonic, the lightning rod, the Franklin stove and bifocals, but what’s really fun is all the stories of how he came upon his inventions. The guy was willing to try anything to figure out how electricity worked. The kite story isn’t quite how it happened, but there was one incident wherein Franklin wanted to prove to his friends the power of electricity, so he invited them over on Thanksgiving and promised to roast a live turkey in a matter of seconds. Long story short, third degree burns over ninety percent of his body and the turkey went free.
Audrey Hepburn
With so many women wishing they were Cleopatra, you don’t hear anyone saying that they were once Audrey Hepburn. She was definitely the icon of grace and beauty in her time, so why not? Maybe she wasn’t royalty on the political stage, but she certainly was in world culture. We vote her the woman we most wish would hurry up and be reincarnated already. Not only was she graceful and beautiful, she was charming and funny, and she only grew more beautiful with each passing year as she got older.
WWF Champion Andre the Giant
Andre was a wild guy. If you hung out with him, you’d want to make sure you had the next day off work, because if you weren’t hungover, you’d be in the hospital. Even so, you wouldn’t regret it. Andre was known for stealing horse carriages and going on wild chases across town, fighting with the police and generally just raising hell. And yet, you won’t hear any of his friends say a bad word about him. He was that rare personality who could get you in trouble and you’d thank him for it. There just aren’t enough characters like that.
