Your Penis and data transfer

    The human genome is about 3,120,000,000 DNA base pairs long, so half of that is in each spermatozoa. That gives us 1,560,000,000 base pairs in a single sperm cell.

    Each of those base pairs can be an A-T bond or a G-C bond, and can be aligned in either direction. That means there's 4 ways it can be aligned, and that can be represented in two bits of data: 00 = G, 01 = C, 10 = A, and 11 =T, for example.

    Now the average dude lets out between 50 and 500 million sperm with each go. Rough average says that it'd probably be about 200 million, right? If we take all this information and combine it with the wonders of mathematics, we have 1.560*10^9*2 bits*2.00*10^8. Do all theequational ****, and we have 6.24*10^17 bits transmitted in a single burst.

    Thats 78,000 terabytes, in what amounts to a half minute at most event.

    So your dick has a higher bandwidth than any internet connection that ever existed, and is ever likely to exist anytime soon. Now, imagine a machine that used your saltshaker to surf the internet.

    Of course, god knows most of you would only use that power to surf for pr0n.
