    You gain 30 pounds when you die, no lie..
    Fat ? lose even in death smh

    Maybe not

    A team led by Yale University evolutionary biologist Stephen Stearns found that, due to ovulatory characteristics, shorter, slightly plumper women tend to have more children than their peers. These physical traits are passed on to their offspring, suggesting natural selection in humans is alive and well.

    Pelvic thrusting is observed in infant monkeys, apes, and humans. These observation led ethologist John Bowlby (1969) to suggest that infantile sexual behaviour may be the rule in mammals, not the exception. Thrusting has been observed in humans at eight to 10 months of age and may be an expression of affection. Typically, the infant clings to the parent, then nuzzles, thrusts, and rotates the pelvis for several seconds.

    When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.

    Not true, the rest of your body just shrinks making it appear as though your hair and nails continue to grow.

    There is no Ape animal. Ape is a term used to classify a group of different kinds of Primates. Its kind of like saying, "all Eagles are Birds, but not all Birds are Eagles."

    While the idea of ape can be attacked, you're still a pelvic thrusting ape.

    That's cool, I understand that Humans fall under the Ape/Primate order.

    "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics.
    You are all stardust.
    You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode.
    So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today."
