Royston Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 So you've popped your clogs, and as you look towards a white light you hear a deafening sigh, followed by, 'well, you may think you've lead an honest and fruitful life, but I beg to differ, as punishment you must be reincarnated as an animal, not of human traits...' The upside is you get to choose the animal for your reincarnation, but as above not a human. So what animal would you choose, and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 A cat, one owned by a member of my family if possible. We've had neighbors say they'd like to be our cats as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 God God ? Do you worship your pet rabbit or something ? It's quite a tough one for me, a top of the food chain predatory animal would be good, like a Great White, though they have quite a lonely existence. Or a Bonobo, intelligent and rather promiscuous...you have to make good of a bad situation. Flying would be awesome, so with all things considered probably a Peregrine Falcon, I could while away the hours doing impressive aeronautical feats.

Phi for All Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 A 100-foot long Architeuthis, so I could swim the deep oceans munching on great whites and appear every so often to a few individuals (and then use my tentacles to steal their cameras). A sentient extraterrestrial being(preferably one which is all-around better than humans).And for violating the spirit of animal reincarnation, you get to live extraterrestrially alone on Pluto with your all-around betterness.God*Wonderful* animal. You are now the God of Pluto. Your single worshipper is an atheist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphus Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'd say a domestic cat is probably the way to go. Stealthily wander the streets as a badass predator, then go home to my guaranteed meal and warm bed. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your single worshipper is an atheist. Why couldn't an extraterrestrial be classified as an animal? Haven't you seen Star Trek? All intelligent life in the galaxy is descendant from one species.

Who has just bought a copy of 'The God Delusion' Yourdad, how can you even be sure an extra-terrestrial exists, don't you think that might be a little risky.

Royston Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 a dragon Hate to break it to you, but they don't actually exist . I'm amazed nobody has picked a dinosaur, though being the only dinosaur on the planet would certainly have it's problems...perhaps a Plesiosaur, in a certain Loch, and you'd have celebrity status. Perhaps I should of emphasised, why do you pick that particular animal. That's really the point of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
