The Bandwidth of Ejaculation

From Terry M. I don't know if it's true, but I found it humorous in a geeky way.

Obviously taken from a chat session.

[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

Until next time...

But don't all the sperm contain the same genetic data? So while you're transmitting 1.6 TB of data, wouldn't the overwhelming majority of it be redundant?

Or have I forgotten something since college biology?

  Redundancy would be good, especially in a DoS attack. It's still about the quantity of data transmitted, not necessarily the quality of the data itself.
  
  But technically I know not of such things....

Ok, my inner geek loved this. hehehe

Alexander ~ A DDOS attack isn't about the data being transmitted but the amount of data.

  I'm glad I could help make your inner geek a little happier.

Just making sure we are talking about data... uh... and not penis size right?

  It's ALL zeroes and ones eventually.

1,687.5 TerraBytes/sec of (nearly) identical messages sounds a lot like spam to me.

  That it is... and it's about as tasty as Spam too!

Does the bandwidth still count if you swallow?

  Only if an ACK was sent...
