The Five Coolest People To Have Been In A Past Life
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 Presley
Come on, what guy wouldn't like to have been Elvis Presley? Heck, there's a whole industry built around the idea of dressing, sounding and acting like the guy. What would an Elvis impersonator like more than to be told that they were once, in fact, the King himself? The King would've appreciated this, too, as he always had an interest in Buddhist ideals like Eastern philosophy, the martial arts and reincarnation.
Benjamin Franklin
The Founding Father Benjamin Franklin is most well known as the guy who invented lightning rods and bifocals, but we'll remember him as the most eccentric and bizarre of the founding fathers. Besides the well known story of the kite and the key, he also once electrocuted himself trying to roast a turkey with the power of electricity, and once tried to have his best friend drafted into the military so that he could steal the poor guy's girlfriend. If the founding fathers had been the cast of Seinfeld, Franklin was definitely the Kramer.
Audrey Hepburn
No offense ladies, but Audrey Hepburn was, without a doubt, the most beautiful and graceful woman of the Twentieth Century, not to mention talented, charming, and funny, and she only improved with age. Her looks didn't fade, they fermented. Forget Cleopatra and English royalty, Audrey Hepburn is the one woman we wish would hurry up and be reincarnated already.
Pro Wrestler Andre the Giant
If you love having a good time, maybe you've got a little Andre in you. The pro wrestler was a known drunk, and a fun drunk. During one incident in New York with Classy Freddy Blasse, the bar closed down after a night of heavy drinking, but the two were just getting started and didn't really want to go home just yet. Andre lifted Blasse on his shoulder and ran to the nearest horse drawn carriage. Andre pulled the poor carriage driver out of the seat, tucked some cash into the guy's pocket, and he and Blasse essentially hijacked the horses and went on a mad spree across Central Park. For all the trouble he caused, Andre was always a lot of fun for the people around him.
