Title: nerd humor
Post by: Pakhan on June 25, 2009, 09:44:14 AM
gone too far?

<hypnosis> 1. The human cell contains 75 MB of genetic information
<hypnosis> 2. A sperm 37.5 MB.
<hypnosis> 3. In a milliliter, we have 100 million sperms.
<hypnosis> On average, one ejaculation releases 2.25 ml in 5 seconds.
<hypnosis> Using basic math we can compute the bandwidth of the human male penis as:
<hypnosis> (37.5MB x 100M x 2.25)/5 = (37,500,000 bytes/sperm x 100,000,000 sperm/ml x 2.25 ml) / 5 seconds = 1,687,500,000,000,000 bytes/sec = 1,687.5 TerraBytes/sec
<Jck_true> Sweet
<Jck_true> DoS attack!!!
<hypnosis> a bukkake would probably be a DDoS then
<hypnosis> 11 men would give 17 petabytes/sec

Wha? I am obviously not nerd as much as I thought I was ;D
I understood bukkake though  [evil]

How do you figure 75mb? In a text file?

Yeah, but that's burst speed. What is it with the refractory period factored in?

Now that's sounding kinda like a firewire vs usb argument... I think... What's a refractory period?  :P

The period of time before you can "send more information"...

That's how long before she can receive more info...

Only if you limit yourself.

You're right, she can receive more, she just can't process it...

The example is seriously flawed:

It's really just the same 75 MB being transmitted in a massively redundant fashion to ensure maximal chances of successful packet delivery.

Especially important when competing with other, uh traffic in the pipe (http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/health/2009/05/18/2009-05-18_texas_woman.html), as it were.

If there's other traffic in the pipe, your system may be compromised...

Obviously comp. sci. or engineering nerds, not biology nerds.

The example utterly ignored the mitochondrial genome when it referred to the information contained in the DNA of human cells. Obviously, there's no mitochondrial DNA in male gametes. However, that leaves us hanging about that 75MB. Should it have said in the nucleus instead of per cell? Or should we subtract the mitochondrial genome from the nucleic and recompute the bandwidth?

Thank goodness my obsessiveness had diminished over time. That sort of thing would probably have kept me up at night back in school looking stuff up.

My wife, on the other hand, would have said something along the lines of "let's confirm those volume estimates."
