How much does your soul weigh?

I heard this from a second hand source, so I'm not sure of the accuracy. This is what I was told, as best I can recall it.

A co-worker of mine read in a Polish newspaper that several years ago the government was working on experiments concerning life after death. They claimed to have discovered scientific proof of a soul by weighing the body before and immediately after death. There was a consistent and unacountable drop of 1/3000th of an ounce. This wasn't just a one time experiment, apparently. It was performed several times to several bodies, with the same unaccountable loss in weight.

To further this study, they brought in a psychic who claimed to be able to astrally project, extracting her 'soul' and returning at will. During the time she was 'out' her body dropped in weight, and immediately rose again when she returned. This was well documented and examined, but then for some reason covered up.

A simple search on Yahoo has yielded several results, including this article http://www.ilstu.edu/~kfmachin/FOIFall02/Weight%20of%20human%20soul.htm and confirms what I heard. There are several others that dispute or contradict the findings, though.

Date: 3/13/2003 11:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    Interesting but personally, I know that my soul has weighed heavily at times when I've been worrying. I am glad that some scientists are willing to admit that we do have souls. This is a cool post and I'm glad you posted it.  
Date: 3/13/2003 11:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 53961    Some days my soul is heavier than others. It all depends on my burdens and my ability to turn them over to One who can and will bear them for me.  
Date: 3/13/2003 11:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 12103    wow this is interesting! Thanks for sharing   
Date: 3/13/2003 11:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 3125    I wonder if the body weight was reduced because the dead person was TOTALLY relaxed?  
Date: 3/14/2003 12:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 59418    wow, that's really interesting! metal princess  
Date: 3/14/2003 12:16:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5353    From what I understand they took EVERYTHING into account, and still could not explain the consistant 1/3000th of an ounce.  
Date: 3/14/2003 12:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 28899    That is very interesting.. I guess the reason that we don't hear about this more often is that they have no way to really prove it's the soul leaving that causes the drop in weight. It's like proving that UFOs have aliens inside.. This may be one of those things that will have to remain 'interesting'. Thanks for posting..  
Date: 3/14/2003 1:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 47699    Lemon's right. I posted the medical study and full report of this almost a year and a half ago. It's fascinating. This took place not too long after the turn of the last century. If you want to see it, you can search my posts. Trust me, it was a very long time ago. I'm sorry but I can't recall the name of that post.

Date: 3/14/2003 3:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 48809    Yes, this is very interesting, I first read about this 30 plus years ago. Strange how the scientists just "sweep under the rug" the things that they don't want to deal with!  
Date: 5/28/2003 9:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 62066    Very odd. Makes ya think...
