In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.

lol
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

So that basically means that when the Lamas (ie, religious leaders) die, they either won't be able to be reincarnated, or the reincarnation can be killed. That's pretty scary -- a good part of their religious belief rests on that.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.

Am I the only one who thought of that when reading iago's post?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Reincarnation and immortality aren't quite the same. Close though. Partial credit. :P

LMFAO!!  It's funny, but that sucks.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.
