So, am I reincarnated?
Discussion
I don't believe in reincarnation. Well, whilst part of me would like to think that in a previous life I might have been a fighter pilot and bandleader, the scientific part of me know that's silly.
Anyway, a few days ago, for no reason at all, the name 'Kolly Kleber' floated into my head from somewhere. I thought it might be a character in a book or a musical, so I wrote it down and Googled for it.
To my surprise there was only one hit, from America in 1883:

Spooky!
I used to be quite interested in the subject after watching (I think) an Arthur C Clarke programme.
It featured a young boy who kept telling his parents he had to go back to his wife. Eventually they humoured him and allowed him to go to the place he spoke of. There he met his (wife?) who had lost her husband on the boys birthday (he was shot dead). The boy had a birthmark on his body where the woman's husband had been shot.
The boy without prompting or apparent prior knowledge spoke in depth of their previous life together.

Did they carry on the marriage? I guess she'd have to break his new body in..I used to be quite interested in the subject after watching (I think) an Arthur C Clarke programme.

The human body contains approximately 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
Many of these will have previously formed part of other organisms, and indeed other people.
So "yes", you are reincarnated.
Actually, this is a good point, and therefore, by the same token, you have at some point partaken in a past part (Almost alliterative Many of these will have previously formed part of other organisms, and indeed other people.

a lot of "made up" names consist of forename and surname beggining with the same letter (e.g. Jack Jones 
)
with the power of google it is not too much of a coiincidence that someone of that name once existed - no matter how obscure the name seems to you.
I like that answer. Except that I wasn't trying to make up a name, it just arrived in my head. I recalled it from somewhere, I reckoned it was either a character in Brighton Rock or West Side Story. Not so it seems. )with the power of google it is not too much of a coiincidence that someone of that name once existed - no matter how obscure the name seems to you.

I remember being told at school that statistically, we had probably breathed in some molecules of oxygen that Julius Caesar had also breathed. That's probably when the insanity set in Many of these will have previously formed part of other organisms, and indeed other people.

That's a bit spooky because, a few days ago, for no reason at all, I, too had this experience. The name 'Adolf Hitler' floated into my head from nowhere.To my surprise there was only one hit, from America in 1883:
So I googled it...
To my surprise, there were 6,180,000 hits.
I cannot explain this.
Weird, or what...?

I can. It's a contrived post using the name of a very famous person to prove that - well, to prove nothing at all in fact I have an entirely bonkers friend who is perfectly sure that we all come back in 144 year cycles. No point in debating it; he just knows. Now that's mad... especially as he can't expain why his back hurts and he has high blood pressure despite having Japanese faith-healing sessions every week...

I'm reading Graham Greene's 'Brighton Rock' at the moment. have you ever read it, or seen the film?kolly kibber features heavily in the opening chapters. the name apparently taken from this guy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colley_Cibber
there's also a song by julian cope called 'kolly kibber's birthday'
so there you have it, you aren't reincarnated.
