Graphic visualization expert Eesmyal Santos-Brault scaled and piled ass 7.2 billion humans alive right this minute.
Eesmyal squeezed in every man, woman, child and 'other' into an anatomically correct cone of arms, legs, torso and heads planted near the Colorado river in the middle of the Grand Canyon. The top point of the pile only reaches half as high as the mile-high rim of the canyon and covers one relatively small spot. What?
Eesmayal says the steaming mass of flesh tilts the scales at a svelte 406 million tons but is still dwarfed by one of the few instantly recognizable features seen from space - the canyon itself.
In comparison, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai towering a stunning 2,717 feet and presses down on it's foundation with a hefty 500,000 tons. The cone of all humans would be just 100 feet taller, but weigh 800 times as much.
Guess there's a lot of short people and millions of tons of fat asses in the world.
