Do gingers have souls? – A question humans have asked for many thousands of years.
In 1046, the Scots had a feeling that gingers may indeed contain a soul. They weren’t the first people to query the inner-life of a ginger, however.
The ancient Punjabs had long expressed a desire in their scriptures to understand fully the souls contained within a ginger.
In total, a thoughtful 37,392 people have asked the question “do gingers have souls?”
Ancient Indian thinker Arshdeep Raj is the first known human to have penned the question “do gingers have souls”? His brother, Malkpalk, had just a day earlier devised the idea of human souls and was busy indoctrinating the idea to the village.
Arshdeep, however, had always been more interested in the ingredients of his mother’s cooking than humans. He was just 6 years old when he first dissected a capsicum and inspected the contents to see exactly how it worked. He was greatly interested in vegetable spirituality.
At the age of 19, he released his first work: Divine Edibles. It was a title that placed him firmly down as one of history’ great thinkers.
Arshdeep theorised that gingers were indeed soulful entities. He measured the energies emitted when a ginger root was chopped and discovered that powerful soul-like electricities were present in the air particles in immediate proximity to the tasteful chopped rhizome.
Despite a consistent opposition to Raj’s work, nobody has been able to disprove his theory and it is to this day generally accepted that gingers do have souls.
In 2001, a school in small-town Brazil was shut down permanently after an assignment was set that requested students attempt to disprove Arshdeep’s theory. Parents rallied against the experiment, mainly due to the sheer number of gingers due to be slaughtered in the process.
Have you ever found a soulless ginger? What was your experience of this supposed soulless ginger? Let us know your thoughts on whether gingers have souls below.
Gas Proces was the name of a monthly rave club night illegally held on unused industrial land in Greenwich, a suburb of London, UK.
From March 1989 – March 1993 groups of up to 500 ravers would gather from around the country and partake in hours of licking the toxic chemical ground whilst bobbing their upward pointing behinds to the beat of very loud dance music. This strange and unique form of dance and expression became known as ‘Proces’in’ throughout the vibrant rave scene of the early 1990′s.
Occasionally, you may witness someone ‘Proces’in’ at a modern day rave but it’s likely that they don’t know its origin.
The rave was closed down for good when one of the participants swallowed a stone and choked to death. The police had been monitoring the situation and had no hard proof that drugs had been being used at the events so up until that point had let it go on with relatively little interruption from them. However, the death meant that they had no choice but to disband the event.
The true origin of the name is unclear, as are the original organisers. Before the days of the internet most of the promotion was verbal running throughout squats and many people made their own fliers to give to friends. It’s rumoured that the most popular of the fliers from the original event simply had a spelling mistake.
In 2004 John Hedridge, an English teacher from Eltham, South East London, claimed to have been the originator of the misspelled flier. He blames the embarrassing spelling mistake on a cup of magic mushroom tea that he had consumed on the same day.
The infamous 02 Arena (The Millennium Dome) now occupies the site of the original ‘Gas Proces’ rave club nights.
