21 Grams

As I said in another thread, I remember hearing something about "21 grams". I just did a bit of Googling, and I found out that according to common folklore, the body loses 21 grams after death. I offer the folling links to look at:

What do you guys think about it? Do you think there's anything in it, or nothing in it? Or, are you like me and dunno what to think about it?

Personally I dont put much store in it though it does remind me of the time I convinced someone that a CD was heavier once I had burned info onto it

But yes, I'm kind of the same way to be honest. I don't have much faith in the idea at present, but I'm open to evidence of such a thing.

Its a myth. Its based on experiments by a single guy around 1900. No one has been able to recreate it, and if it was true then they would definately have been able to.

Also, theres no such thing as the "moment of death". Medically the moment of death is the point as which they give up trying to save them but they're by no means entirely dead yet. Different bits of people start dying one after the other.
