Martie has always told me that I am full of B.S. But, according to my calculations, this can’t be so. See if my math is correct here: From what I’ve heard, water makes up 98% of the human body. Water weighs 62.4 lbs per cu foot. I weigh in at just over 200 lbs. So that means that I have about 3.5 cu feet of body mass. Now even if you account for the air between the ears, and the hair above and below the ears, I figure they about even each other out anyway because oxygen weighs .0892 lbs per cu foot, and wool weighs 82 lbs per cu foot. So I think 3.5 cu feet of body mass is in the ballpark for me. Well now, manure weighs 25 lbs per cu foot, so if I were full of B.S., then I would weigh just under 90 lbs. So, what do you think? Should I go tell her?
As far as your question, I was with you until you threw the 11T3 in there. I’ll have to look into that. ;^)
