I was so curious about this topic that I decided to do some research (Does Googling count as research?) and google searched "How big is a person in comparison to the earth?". One of the things I found was that it would take millions of Mt. Everests to cover the earth. That's pretty impressive! I also discovered that compared to the earth, we are equivalent to a grain of salt. You know the saying, "you take it with a grain of salt"? Well, the saying's actual meaning aside, the earth literally takes human beings with a grain of salt. So, if one grain of salt equals one person, and f there are roughly 7.7 billion people in the world, than there are 7.7 billion grains of salt in the world. Bowkerhouse,com says that 1 billion grains of salt is equivalent to 25 gallons. 7.7 billion times 25 gallons equals 192,500,000,000 gallons. How many grains of salt does that equal? I have no idea. I'll let you do the math. All I know, is that it's a VERY large number.
So by now, you're probably wondering why I bothered blogging about this. What does this all mean? It means two things: Number one, we are all figuratively just grains of salt. And number two: the earth is one giant salt shaker.
