apparently that is the official difference when you "throw a 7" as my father so poetically calls it.

there is a new film out by the director of amores perros which is called "21 kilos" and that's why. obv. he alluding to the soul. but what the real difference.

[poss. i am missing something completely blatant here.]

Could it be water-weight? Does the body dry up when you die?

is it water? im presuming this is a body which has been dead for a while as opposed to **just dead**

It's the extra hair and nails with nobody left to cut them.

Kilos? I may be American, but I'm pretty sure that a kilo is a substantial amount of weight. 21 kilos, by my estimation, is about 50 pounds. The soul does not weight 50 pounds.

See: "Heavy Soul" by the Black Keys from their brillian debut album The Big Come Up

six years pass...

21 kilos!

Anyways, I was looking for a "fun in funeral" type thread and didn't find one, so here's a link to a couple of pics of a dead guy:
