It seems I could make 4.2 million, perhaps I can finally shed some light;

[The Builder]

5 million matches, K

or......... enough iron to make 1.2 nails.
That's me sorted then ;o)

[bookbinder]

I could really light up the neighbourhood with my 45 ounces of phosphorus.

[-SharonA-]

76lbs of fat!!!!!!

[Lie-in King]

5.7 million matches, 1.4 nails, 62 teaspoons of salt & my chlorine would clean 9ft 2in of a swimming pool.

♫I am what I am♫ :-)

[Mamyalynne]

3.2 million matches, 22 oz phosphorus, 5.7 octillion atoms, 9.1 lb of me is blood.

I have more soul than that says I do.

[Prudie]

I've put my details in twice now and just get lots of blank dark coloured boxes :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no, put another shilling in t'meter.

[pastafreak]

I'm worth $1,774...
I can make 3.4 million matches
I'm made up of 6.1 octillion atoms
I've got 40.8 lbs muscle, 20.1 bone, and 47.7 fat and other organs

Firstly tick the privacy doo dah at the very top(in orange) If that doesn't do it turn off the "aheem" blocker, or right click the url and choose in "Open link in Private window".

LOL Tigger ... 24inch?

I have an elemental( no jokes please) monetary value of $2,383. I could supply 4.5 million matches when I am not on strike. Enough Iron to make 1.4 million nails but my middle finger nail has grown 7ft 10in during my lifetime, so take care that I do not show it to you. 387 bananas contain the same amount of Phosphorous as I do but are not as handy or ... err bananas. I am 50 teaspoons of salt but "she who must be obeyed" calls me honey. I can *** an Olympic size swimming pool in one go after 2 pints of best.

[Togo]

*** rhymes with hiss.

You should have posted this in chutterbunk Khandro. You would have had more traffic and it is hardly serious stuff.

[david small]

7 million matches. I could build a big box to keep my matches in.

[Khandro]

The interesting question is, after all this dissection, where is the 'soul' where is consciousness?

In Buddhist philosophy one could take any material object, anything - say a bike, completely dismantle it to all its constituent components: wheels, spokes, tyres, chains, cables, bearings etc. right down to the absolute smallest parts, then lay them all out on the ground & regard them.

Q. where is the bicycle?

[Ellipsis]

The soul weighs 21 grams.

Ellipsis, thanks for that, I'm sending it to a doctor friend - hilarious!
