	Lowell Bodies are those objects whose 
	existence is suspected, even accepted but
	for which there is as yet no conclusive 
	evidence.

	The existence of Lowell Bodies in the human 
	anatomy is well known. Think of the soul: 
	no single other organ has been subject to 
	such intense scrutiny and worry. For St. 
	Augustine it was the divinity within us. 
	When we die our corrupt mortal bodies will 
	fall away and our souls will rise up through 
	the seven spheres of heaven, clothed in 
	light, to touch the hem of God's robe. 
	Aquinas ranked the souls and heavenly 
	rewards awaiting them. Those who had kept 
	God's name in this life sat closest to God 
	and the saints. The others had to scramble for 
	a seat in the bleachers. Swedenborg claimed 
	souls in heaven would have complete human 
	bodies, that they would live in splendid 
	Victorian homes complete with running water, 
	that they would eat and drink and enjoy sex. 
	He did not mention the re-runs.
