I like to say, “I was a peasant in my past life.”  And if I had a past life it’s likely it would have likely been as a peasant.  My reasoning is that the majority of people were peasants or some rough equivalent.  Some people claim to have been some historic figure in a past life, but sometimes several people claim to have been the same historic figure.  There can only be one Julius Caesar or Cleopatra, but there can be many peasants.  Sure, people can be named after historic figures, but they aren’t those historic figures; and more than one person can share a name, but they aren’t each other either.  But peasants are largely indistinguishable from each other from a historic standpoint.

The “slave” result is the closest I found to a peasant.  The “Persian King” result would be an example of an unlikely result as a historic figure.  And the “one of three psychic triplets” and the “muppet” results are examples of some of the fun possible results in the quiz.
