How much does a worm's soul weigh? Dr. Amrit Sorli thinks it's around 90 micrograms. "It appears that to determine the average weight of a worm's soul, Dr. Sorli only needs to divide 90 micrograms by the number of worms he murdered..." says James Randi
(scroll down the Randi page until you see the worms)
Be not self-will'd, for thou art much too fair
To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
The worms always get their tasty revenge.

You are all fools, and are all wrong. A worms soul weighs 131.89 milligrams. Any idiot knows that.

sharksandwich, at that weight, a worm soul would perhaps knock one of the 1,239,931 dancing angels off the point of a needle if it was placed there also, and that would invalidate centuries of science and theology. I think your math is off...since there are 773,692 words in the bible [greek or aramic], the square root of which is around 879.59763528558897553108981304566, divided by 7 days of creation, would give us a precise weight for a worm soul of less than 126 milligrams.
