oh yeah, we're gonna get some good woo mileage out of this one
well then, science, how do you explain this?
Luminous beings are we!
srry bro thats just all the RGB lighting i had installed in my gaming spleen
If only I could be so grossly incandescent
A long time ago scientists thought that they had managed to weigh a person's "soul" when they put a corpse on a scale and the weight changed after death. It was actually the weight of the breath exiting the body, but I think this time it's safe to say that this is definitely your soul glowing
- It's just inefficiencies in your cells' processing of energy being released as light.
  
  Yeah, isn't it basically blackbody radiation? We're warm so we glow
  
  My cells are pretty efficient, I think it's safe to say it's my soul glowing
spoopy
Is this actually a new finding? I’ve heard this as a fun fact probably ~15 years ago
