In related news, the Dalai Lama announced today that all tourists visiting Lhasa in 2008 would receive a "reincarnation upgrade," regardless of how they have lived their present lives. "I feel confident that we can guarantee, at the very least, returning as a large mammal or other beast at or near the top of the food chain," His Holiness announced in his first-ever infomercial. "And for tourists who choose to stay in one of our more exclusive accomodations, we even have an arrangement to return as a child to be adopted by Angelina Jolie; of course, that offer requires leaving this life fairly soon after your visit, so we're also throwing in a lovely complimentary fruit basket."
