Aforementioned: aphorisms and questions for 2015

Man+pet+house+car+stuff=largest apex predator ever to trouble the face of earth X 7BILLION. A blue whale is only a whale x 20,000 This is the skeleton of a blue whale. These creatures can weigh up to an astonishing 200 tons. This is only possible because their weight is supported by water. They are almost certainly the largest animal ever to appear on earth. There are still around 20,000 of them. However, we are rapidly pushing them toward extinction. This picture gives some idea of scale. However, the largest dinosaur skeleton yet unearthed would be for an animal weighing around 77 tons - less than half the size of a blue whale. That is because the dinosaur's legs would need to support all that weight. Surprisingly, even taking into account the weight of two cars and two apartments, the total weight attached to the man on top would not likely equal that of the blue whale.

However, add to this total his portion of the infrastructure that supports his life, and his weight would easily surpass that of the blue whale. In this sense, most of us Canadians individually weigh more than a blue whale. The blue whale travel without baggage.
