Which famous (or infamous) person are you a reincarnation of?

I like that ...

You're Albert Einstein! You are incredibly smart,
although, you know that you do make mistakes
like everyone else. You are kind, but you spend
most of your time studying or doing
experiments.

Current Mood: Devastated

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
