Kinda like that stupid rock star (forget the name) who snorted the ashes of his own father. Wasn't that mick jagger? That's pretty sick.

Hey,
this may be old news, but I couldn't believe what I saw on the news here today.
You can have a diamond made from the ashes of your loved one. No sh!t, there's a process that uses the ashes of a cremated body and converts them to diamond. Real healthy pricetag to wear grandma around the neck or on the finger. Not allowed here in Germany, but can be done in Switzerland and Holland.

Sick..........

When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50!

This value is, however, subject to change, due to stock market fluctuations.

The U.S. Bureau of Chemistry and Soils invested many a hard-earned tax dollar in calculating the chemical and mineral composition of the human body, which breaks down as follows:

65% Oxygen
18% Carbon
10% Hydrogen
3% Nitrogen
1.5% Calcium
1% Phosphorous
0.35% Potassium
0.25% Sulfur
0.15% Sodium
0.15% Chlorine
0.05% Magnesium
0.0004% Iron
0.00004% Iodine

Additionally, our bodies contain trace quantities of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, aluminum, and arsenic. Together, all of the above amounts to less than one dollar!

Ah get over ourselves. At least a tiny bit of all of us is made up of all the generations of dead people before us. We breath in the carbon molecules that made up dead people every day.

The only sure thing about life is death!

Of course, I don't snort anything up my nose if I can help it, but to each there own.

Diamonds are pure carbon and cremains are not.

I think it was Ozzie Osborn who said he did that, but he was just joking.

I remember seeing something about that awhile back myself. I have no idea how they do it but somehow they found a way.
