Just saw 21 Grams... so do we really lose 21 grams when we die?

Ok.. lol.

Actually, the soul looks just like your physical body. It's a mirror image.

That is, if you're going to believe all that stuff in the first place. ;)

Status: True. :Q

but seriously, seeing as how quantum scientists have concluded that there are between 10-12 dimensions. and currently we as humans can only observe 4 of them, it'd be pretty hard to imagine what the upper dimensions are like

who knows, you might find

So am I.

I have never heard that the soul is "1/10,000th the tip of a human hair". I have heard that it is a mirror image of your physical body. When you see people in dreams, you are seeing their soul.. etc, etc.

It doesen't even matter, lol.. it's a belief. What you or I believe is insignificant to the universe, but if you're content that's all that matters.

Ironically, I just rented 21 Grams last evening also. I thought it was very good once it got rolling and I was able to piece all of the parts together.

My recommendation for the movie: Two Nips Up - wait, that was a scene in the movie. ;)

"The bowels did not move; if they had moved the weight would still have remained upon the bed except for a slow loss by the evaporation of moisture depending, of course, upon the fluidity of the feces. The bladder evacuated one or two drams of urine. This remained upon the bed and could only have influenced the weight by slow gradual evaporation and therefore in no way could account for the sudden loss."

Cliff notes: It wouldn't have mattered because it would have remained on the scale.
