So - presuming only 30 trillion of those actually have DNA (I have a notion that some don't), how far would all the DNA in your body stretch? </p> <p>Just over 100 round trips from Earth to the Sun. In your body, right now.</p> <p>Cooool. Who can we test it on?</p> https://coveredinbees.org.archived.website/node/174#comments gubbins 2 stars cool facts Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:29:04 +0000 dan 174 at https://coveredinbees.org.archived.website
