if i were a product on the supermarket shelf

i came across this site just now.. a whole site dedicated to bar code art. this guy has done everything and anything with bar codes. then came the really interesting bit.. bar coding myself!

so yea.. i put in the details and all.. and here's my bar code


and... i could also scan my barcode to see how much i was worth


yeap.. that's what i amont to... $4.30.. american dollars i would presume.. and then i decided to try doing one if i were living in malaysia.. and guess how much i'm worth?

yeap! a measly $2.02! i think i'll stay in aussie then.. where i'm worth more.. haha..
but its interesting to note that this is not just some randomly generated figure.. that it's based on the nation's gdp.. and the person's bmi.. interesting.. no?

but don't worry.. i'm not depressed at how little i amount to.. i know i'm worth much more to my heavenly Father and my family and friends... definitely more than $4.. right? :)
