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 alignes in either direction. That means there's four ways it can be aligned, and that can be represented in two bits of data:
00 = G
01 = C
10 = A
11 = T
(an example)
Now, the average dude lets out between 50 and 500 million sperm with each go. Rough average saya 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 (1.56 * 10^9) * (2.00 * 10^8). Do all the equational shit, and we have 6.24 * 10^17 bits transmitted in a single burst.
That's 78,000 terabytes, in what amounts to half-minute-at-most event.
We could fit a digitized copy of the Library of Congress into your spooge. It'd only take about 20 terabytes.
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.
I'm reposting this with minor modifications because most of you don't like where this came from, but I think that that this post is fucking amazing.
