How Much Are You Worth???
Ever wonder how much you're worth? Well, we know all humans
are priceless, but seriously, ever wonder how much money
the elements found in your body are worth?
Well...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. Since the studies leading to this conclusion
were conducted by the U.S. and by Japan respectively, it might
be wise to consult the New York Stock Exchange and the Nikkei
Index before deciding when to sell!
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, it was discovered that 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!
Our most valuable asset is our skin, which the Japanese
invested their time and money in measuring. The method the
Imperial State Institute for Nutrition at Tokyo developed
for measuring the amount of a person's skin is to take a
naked person, and to apply a strong, thin paper to every
surface of his body. After the paper dries, they carefully
remove it, cut it into small pieces, and painstakingly total
the person's measurements. Cut and dried, the average person
is the proud owner of fourteen to eighteen square feet of
skin, with the variations. Basing the skin's value on the
selling price of cowhide, which is approximately $.25 per
square foot, the value of an average person's skin is about
$3.50.
You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising
up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying
down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my
tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me
behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You
are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand
shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the
night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike
to You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are
Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from
You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts
of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your
book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there
were none of them.
