" Water: 35 liters, Carbon: 20 kg, Ammonia: 4 liters, Lime:1.5 kg, Phosphrus: 800 g, salt: 250g, saltpeter:100g, Sulfer: 80g, Fluorine: 7.5 g, iron: 5.6 g, Silicon: 3g, and 15 other elements in small quantities.... thats the total chemical makeup of the average adult body. Modern science knows all of this, but there has never been a single example of succesful human trasmutation. It's like there's some missing ingredient..... Scientists have been trying to find it for hundreds of years, pouring tons of money into research, and to this day they don't have a theory. For that matter, the elements found in a human being is all junk that you can buy in any market with a child's allowence. Humans are pretty cheaply made. "

Ed, "Full of what? *kicks Al and sand falls out of his chest plate and buries Ed*"
Al, "Hahahaha. . .hahaha. . .haha. . . ha. . . *still laughing, inches away from Ed*"
Ed, "*bursts out of sand and starts running after Al* Get back here!"
Al, "What are you going to do?"
Ed, "Nothing!"
Al, "Than why are you chasing me?"
Ed, "Stop and you'll find out!"
Al, "I promise I won't get buried again!"
Ed, "Not unless it's by me!"
Al," Ed!"
Ed, "Rrrrrrrrr! "
