As I sit here eating Ramen noodles, a couple of thoughts cross my mind.
First... "Man, these noodles taste good and they only cost me 15 cents..." It's true too. They're some sort of spicey-chicken-flavor-pack kind of noodles, and they really are pretty good. Also, they don't get all clumpy like the creamy chicken ones, which taste better but who needs clumpy noodles in their life?
And second, "What if all those 'primitive' people are right and when you take someone's picture you really do steal their soul?"
That would sort of suck... I mean, obviously you don't get their whole soul because then you could only take one picture, but even a little bit of soul is saying something. It would sort of explain the whole white boys got no rythm thing... How can you dance if ya got no soul? Clearly white people take more photos of their kids than black people...
It would also explain the apparent glut of soulless zombies trundling up and down the aisles of the local Super Wal-Mart. It's all those security cameras... When you steal souls at about 30 frames per second you've got a shitload of souls at the end of the day...
Anyway, what I want to know is this... If I steal a soul with my digital camera and then delete the photo, does the soul go back to the original owner or do I still get to keep it? Digital rights are so confusing...

I like my Top Ramen with Peas in it. Not those sick pale, giant peas...the ones that say, "Petite Green Peas". Yum.

Whoah... hold on now... I don't eat that fancy pants Top Ramen... It's just the super-cheap stuff in my house.
I hear you on the peas thing though... even if I would go with a different mix-in veggie.
ew. You eat that Maruchan garbage? That stuff gives you dragon breath for the rest of the day. What do they put in the flavor pouch? Soilent Green?

Mmm I just ate some sort of noodly thing with Spicy Chicken Flavoring too. It was very good. I think with digital cameras, your only stealing a gigabyte of soul and you don't get it back when you delete the picture. But it's only a gigabyte so it doesn't matter.
:D
Hmmm... a gigabyte of soul seems kind of high to me... There would definately need to be some sort of compression program or storage would get out of hand... especially if there was a lot soul stealing going on like at Wal-Mart.
If it was a 'lossy' compression like MP3s, then you might not want your soul back anyway since it would be degraded and might sound like crap on a real stereo...
All this high-tech stuff hurts my head...
