Self-worth is a word that gets thrown around quite a lot these days. I've always been confused just exactly what it meant. I mean, I can feel like a million dollars, but that doesn't mean that someone is going to give it to me.

How do you put a value on a human being, unless, of course, you're renting him or her for the hour? Seemingly, it's possible. A little website called HumanForSale.com does just that.

You input some basic details about your physical appearance, mental capability, personality traits and lifestyle and voila: you find out just how much you're worth.

According to this site, I'm worth a little under three million dollars ($2,804,294 to be exact) which sounds a little low, frankly. A few changes: if I had green eyes, for instance, or was male, and I'd be worth considerable more. My bust alone seems to be worth $40,000, which does sound about right.

While there is no scientific backing for the financial calculations, the site is full of fun facts, like how left-handed people (me! me!) may actually be more creative/intelligent than right-handed people, that I'm - according to this site - the perfect height for a woman, and have 'Peladophobia', or a fear of bald people. Oh yeah, and blonde men seemingly have the largest penises. Sure.

It should all be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but don't get upset if you don't get a score as high as mine. Nobody's perfect, remember.
