arch-demon Succorbenthrael, Satanâs personal interior decorator.
Succorbenthrael burned so many of Amaraâs calories that the Calorometer couldnât keep up. The pointer spun round as far as it could, and never dropped back. The studio slowly filled with smoke from the fireworks and dry ice. The Venezuelan tapeworm never got a look in.
Later tests carried out at Barnum College with an enhanced Mega-Calorometer made an unexpected discovery. It had been thought that demons would burn calories at a near constant level, but they didnât. Researchers discovered that more calories were burned during periods of intense demon mental activity. Astral projection, for one, burned up calories PROPORTIONATE to the activity of the astrally projected body. Read the section here to learn more about astral exercising.
Choosing the Best Demon
Spirits and demons are not all the same. They have strengths and weaknesses. Before selecting the right one for you, you need to work out what you need â from âa quiet, gradual reduction in weight,â to a âlop off 200lbs in three days and I donât care how!â
Thereâs a demon, or spirit, to suit your every need.
A lot of people ask, âWhatâs the difference between a spirit and a demon?â Well, the main difference is that spirits are dead. You canât, legally, be possessed by the soul of a person, or animal, or alien, thatâs still alive. Itâs the scientific equivalent of bigamy and even Mormons arenât allowed to do it.
Demons are different. The vast majority of demons are far from dead, and many, having ascended several millennia ago, have no physical body to worry about. They can take physical form when they want to, but itâs not a body as we know it. Itâs more like clothes they conjure up, put on, and throw away when theyâve finished. Consequently there are no concerns about what happens to a demonâs body while itâs living inside you, as there IS no body.
1. Small is Beautiful
Many experts believe that a small child makes the ideal spirit for the beginner. Theyâre smaller, theyâre less set in their ways, theyâre less strong, and theyâll be easier to exorcise once youâve reached your target weight.
But a small child can also be playful and unpredictable, not to mention prone to tantrums if they donât get their own way. And they eat less. This means itâll take longer for you to reach that all-important target weight.
Thereâs also the very real prospect of POLTERGEIST activity which the spirits of children are especially prone to.
Whatâs poltergeist activity? Well, it ranges from unusual noises â knocking sounds, groans and creaks â to objects flying off walls or floating around the room. Most people find it disconcerting, and it can severely limit your social life.
At Crapper Clinics we screen all our spirit applicants to make sure only the most suitable spirits appear on our lists.
Other establishments are not so picky.
2. Old is... um
Some experts swear by the older spirit. Theyâve seen more, experienced more, and are more laid back. They make the ideal head-guest and are easy to exorcise.
But they can also be picky eaters, which isnât ideal when youâre trying to lose weight. You want someone whoâs going to gobble down your calories, not pick and choose which bits of your dinner theyâre going to try today.
They can also have âsenior momentsâ at inconvenient times â you might find yourself floating into a room and then staying there for an hour not sure why. And if youâre the host of an older male spirit with prostate problems, you might find your sleep interrupted by frequent astral projections to the bathroom.
