My pencil is alive, a rock is alive, my desk is alive, EVERYTHING is. Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds? Everything can't be alive, otherwise it wouldn't be necessary to have an alive/dead distinction. Even when a person dies they can still "expand" and "contract". <br />Posted by UFmbutler</DIV><br /><br />So what you are saying this since dead bodies expand and contract that this is scientific proof of life after death. Or are you saying science is not equiped to tell when metal has died. We can tell when metal is fatigued but not dead. </p><p>I am of course just joking.... </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
