A Bunch of Crap with Room for Psychedelic Experimentation

The Weekly World News (which is far less reliable and far more goofy than the Enquirer) reports on the ejector button for the soul which can be manipulated by angels. Now I think most of you know that souls and angels belong in the same category as Easter Bunnies and Bigfoot, but there is an interesting tidbit of science contained in the story. Apparently scientists found this ejector by electrically stimulating the angular gyrus region of the brain in an epileptic patient. The stimulation reportedly induced an out of body experience in the patient who the report makes it sound like was awake during the procedure. She initially felt like she was falling and then felt like she was hovering just below the ceiling looking down on her own body. The question then becomes what drugs or activities can I take or engage in to stimulate my own angular gyrus? I want to fly outside of my body. If I was less lazy I'd search the internet to see if this scientific discovery was being reported from a more traditional point of view: Scientists Discover Part of Brain Responsible for Out of Body Experiences. You don't need god to explain these sensations.
