Do you have the matching foot blocks like Short-Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

9.6 brains.. just WOW

**BigBen** · 07-08-2008, 12:24 PM

Gotta love pointless comparisons. I'm surprised they don't show how many copies of the Library of Congress it is.

12gb of compressed text is a lot. ;)

**Jarmusch** · 07-08-2008, 02:44 PM

I didn't know brain memory capacity could be measured in bytes..

I think it can, i've heard it somewhere before too

**ProducerCashDave** · 07-08-2008, 03:04 PM

That was cool

**qxm** · 07-08-2008, 03:07 PM

gotta love the accurate data.........

**NinjaSteve** · 07-09-2008, 05:06 AM

Do you think they'll be hiring from an outsourcing company when they research the data?

**viencarl** · 07-09-2008, 05:34 AM

wow amazing info thanks for sharing

**HorseShit** · 07-09-2008, 05:45 AM

so each of our brains has nearly a full terabyte storage space? that's nuts

**pornguy** · 07-09-2008, 05:50 AM

I think the number of human brains could be wrong. Imagine the amount of information that it takes just to keep the human body working.

**sltr** · 07-09-2008, 05:50 AM

quick- someone tell the google that fry's has 1 terabyte hard drives on special for $169

**Bossman** · 07-09-2008, 05:58 AM

If Google were evil, then they would print out the data, and ship it in containers to Viacom

Just for everybody's interest, the human brain has an estimated storage capacity of 10^300 Byte. Of course it can't be measured exactly, so give an take a few zeros

I walked down a street a few weeks ago. They must have just delivered new phone books because they were all out in the recycling box still in the wraping.
