This is kind of silly, but, I've been playing around with Wolfram Alpha, a computational engine, and remembered something to look up...
Somebody a few weeks ago posted the results to the nutritional value of a cubic lightyear of butter. Got me thinking...
What is the volume of the observable universe?
Turns out it's 4*10^32 light-years cubed.
What if you wanted a universe with... nothing but shrimp?
Well, I took the volume of the universe, and filled it with shrimp. Turns out it would weigh 1.814*10^83 kilograms.
But... just how many shrimp is that, one may ask?
Taking an average weight of 55 grams per shrimp, we get 3.299*10^84 or 3,299,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 shrimp!
How many is that of the jumbo variety, though...? Heck if I know... go play with Wolfram Alpha yourself!

Okay, I have to ask - how much volume would that be, in bunnies? :)

And the fact that these calculations come from a system with "Wolfram" in the name just makes it even more apropos. . .

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

I know, it's wonderful, ain't it?
