Top 10 things you didn't know about death

i heard somewhere that after we die, our weight is 21 grams less, and that the belief that the loss of weight is the soul leaving the body.

i doubt its true, just a bogus theory, but i know i heard it somewhere a long time ago, but i cant recall where. i'm really thinking a movie or tv

That's just stupid, it's probably due to the fact that we tend to omit our body gas.

After we die, we bloat up. Our finger nails turns blue and draconian. Stubble begins to form. And we return to the dust of the earth, the same way human beings were born.

I have the DVD, but I haven't watched it. The tagline is "How much does life weigh?" So I guess the soul is a theme. Figuratively or whatever the term is since I read it's pretty depressing.

 

[OverMyHead]

Uhh.. no.

When you die your spirit travel back in time through the wave of residues your mind has left behind while you were living
So you can live the same **** over and over again in an endless circle.

If your mind is powerful enough you can travel trough time in your own body at different stage of your life and that is without dying

In a way we are all immortal!

Yeah right!

1. When a person dies, hearing is the last sense to go -- the first is usually sight, followed by taste, smell and touch

How the hell do they know that?

You can't tell someone what it's like to be dead...because you're dead.

maybe they did an experiment with people hooked up to sense recording machines or something.

I think the tittle is based on a theory as well, but I dunno.

I guess it should be no surprise that the first person to get offed by a robot would be a guy in Japan.

6. Over 2500 left-handed people are killed each year from using products made for right-handed people

I'm going to go ahead and assume this includes guns or something, anyone else have any ideas for what this is supposed to mean?

Also, RE: 21 Grams, wikipedia says:

The title of the movie comes from the work of Dr. Duncan MacDougall, who 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 mass.
