According to the U.S. Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, your body is:



* 65% Oxygen (worthless - meaning that you're mostly hot air!)
* 18% Carbon (worthless)
* 10% Hydrogen (worthless)
* 3% Nitrogen (good for plant food)
* 1.5% Calcium (worthless)
* 1% Phosphorous (good fertilizer)
* 0.35% Potassium (worthless)
* 0.25% Sulfur (can be used to make that rotten egg smell)
* 0.15% Sodium (salt)
* 0.15% Chlorine (not enough for the backyard pool)
* 0.05% Magnesium (of slight value)
* 0.0004% Iron (I guess we can rust)
* 0.00004% Iodine (sell this to the medical industry)

Plus minute quantities of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, aluminum, and arsenic(!). No gold, silver, or platinum deposits.

Value of all this great stuff - less than $1.00.

So we're cheap mate!!!
