thought for food:

The human genome consists of 2.9 billion characters -- or about 750 megabytes of data.

To give you some perspective, Logan's lame mixtapes (uncompressed) are about 700 megabytes of data.

Give that some thought.

Now consider that 97% of the genome is supposed to be junk DNA.

This means that the essential data that goes into creating a single human being is approximately 22.5 megabites.

That is the same size as the "We're Not Going To Take It" video my friend used to trash upload onto FTP sites in exchange for software.

In terms of pure data, you are the equivalent of a Twisted Sister music video.

Give that some thought.
