we want your soul

How much is your soul?

Now that is an unconventional question that practically halts you into terror unlike the embarassment of the question, how much do you weigh.

Now take a moment to release denials, expectations and what-nots if you believe human beings have no souls.

Let's just say we all do, alright.

Yea, just for the sake of discussion.

Now here is somethng you should know, which I didn't find out not until very recently...like a few minutes ago. This material is totally effing bloggable. Check it out.

29% of people have a purer soul than me.

What the heck does that mean?!

That outrageous finding serves as partial basis to determine the cash value of my soul, which is by the way, L29630 in pounds.

If you want to find the value of your soul, you ought to be prepared to answer questions such as:

1. Are you a practising Christian?
2. Have you been baptised?
3. Have you ever given money to the homeless?
4. Have you ever tried to contact the dead?
5. Have you taken any of the following drugs? Heroin, Cocaine, Crack, LSD, PCP
6. Do you indulge in autoerotic practises?
7. Do you own goods made by the following manufacturers:nike, sony, nokia, apple, microsoft?
8. Do you watch any of the following news channels: Fox, MSNBC, CNN, SKY
9. Do you eat on a regular basis at any of the following food outlets: McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Starbucks
10. I support the war on terrorism (Agree/Disagree)
11. War is a necessary part of social evolution (Agree/Disagree)
12. Capitalism is the future of our society (Agree/Disagree)
13. Homeless people generally bring it upon themselves (Agree/Disagree)

There's a pop-up ad that reads: "Did you know that you can increase the purity of your soul by purchasing one simple product?"

And this is no religious come-on.

You want to find out your own soul-value? Add dot com to my entry title and you'll get there.

kids should know that...
During the late 19th and first half 20th century, researchers attempted to weigh people who were known to be dying, and record their weight accurately at the time of death. As an example, Dr. Duncan MacDougall, in the early 1900s, sought to measure the weight purportedly lost by a human body when the soul departed the body upon death. MacDougall weighed dying patients in an attempt to prove that the soul was material and measurable. These experiments are widely considered to have had little if any scientific merit, and although MacDougall's results varied considerably from 21 grams, for some people this figure has become synonymous with the measure of a soul's weight.
