Of course not.
Once I saw this chick on TV got a plastic surgery to look like Cleopatra (I think) because she believes that she is the reincarnation of Cleopatra.
Sad, sad people.

Yes, yes, those are freaks. But c'mon, don't be silly
. Those people will just as likely tell you they've been kidnapped by aliens the other day.
You don't really want to compare those freaks to Buddhistic monks, eh?
Reincarnation hasn't been invented by some freaks in our western industrial nations, it is an essential belief in ancient religions like Hinduism.
I don't want you to believe in reincarnation, but judging a thousands of years old belief by some freaks of our time, that's kinda dumb.
Oh, and I rather doubt any Buddhist or Hindu would tell you he was Cleopatra or anything. I don't think they claim to know.
