Do you believe that the human body loses weight at the moment of death? It is belief made popular by the 2003 film, 21 Grams, based on the experiments of Dr. Duncan "Om" MacDougall (c. 1866 – October 15, 1920), who also killed a dozen dogs during his research. However, the "good doctor's" results were never duplicated and his methods unable to produce consistent results. Supernatural claims are a dime a dozen; don't be duped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
MAKING HISTORY
MAKING HISTORY
The invention of the internet and social networking has given humanity a gift it has never fully had before. Ours is the first generation to have general access to this revolutionary form of communication.
Although, we have had the gift of writing and even printing for a long time, at that time the chance that one's works would survive far through history were small. The advent of the internet and blogging/social networking technology has made it easy for all of us to make our mark on history.
By creating content for the internet which is immediately shared to countless other networks and databases, we ensure our own immortality in the matrix which has become what we call the web.

Arrogant is a PSAT word you need to know.
So is amass. Does it mean:
to come together; assemble
Pleased, esp. with oneself or one's merits, advantages, situation, etc., often without awareness of some potential danger or defect; self-satisfied a complacent smile.
I don't know exactly where it comes from, but the last paragraph here is what I identify with the most. And, with this definition in mind, I must gratefully acknowledge those people who have called me arrogant. I agree by this final definition, I am indeed arrogant.
