      If (hopefully at the end of a long and happy life!) your body is buried underground, the chances are you will come back as a worm. Or rather, several hundred worms.

      I don’t think there would be any way to test this unless caterpillars are able to remember being humans and somehow communicate this. So I don’t see how anyone could say one way or the other – it doesn’t seem very likely though, does it?

      Would you risk it? Some religions are really nice to bugs just in case…There’s a good calculation you can do to work out if your breath contains a molecule that was breathed out by say – Queen Victoria – since we just recycle molecules allthe time….
