              year. 98 percent! Water molecules stays in your body for
              two weeks (and for an even shorter time in a hot climate),
              the atoms in your bones stays there for a few months. Some
              atoms stay for years. But almost not one single atom stay
              with you in your body from cradle to grave.</FONT></p> <P><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What is constant in you is not material. An average person
              takes in 1.5 ton of matter every year as food, drinks and
              oxygen. All this matter has to learn to be you. Every year.
              New atoms will have to learn to remember your childhood.</FONT></p> <P><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">These
              numbers has been known for half a century or more, mostly
              from studies of radioactive isotopes. Physicist Richard
              Feynman said in 1955: "Last week's potatoes!
              They now can remember what was going on in your mind a
              year ago."</FONT></p> <P><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EB4FDFDF-3CF8-440A-896C-14EFEDF3C09C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
