What about if you had one of them new MacBook Proses and fibre broadband?
Er, that might have been the case when we were on dial-up.
Most computational neuroscientists tend to estimate human storage capacity somewhere between 10 terabytes and 100 terabytes.
So that's between 10,000 and 100,000 gigabytes. At our common internet speeds it only take about 2 minutes per gigabyte, so between 14 and 140 days.
Not quite 4.8 quadrillion years then.

Agreed. Those are the amateurs that said Octopodes have two legs and six arms - based on the ‘fact’ that they walk across the ocean floor by pushing along with the rearmost two limbs. When in FACT they have ZERO legs, just a load of arms.
Brighton set their second Premier League record of the season in their 3-1 win against Palace.
It was the first time two substitutes had scored in the first half of a game.
Earlier this season Murray and Bruno set a new Premier League record when they became the oldest pair to combine for a goal in the 1-0 win against Wolves. With Murray 35 years and 32 days and Bruno 38 years and 25 days, their combined age was 73 years and 57 days. They beat the combined record of 72 years and 168 days when Paul Scholes (35y 273d) set up Ryan Giggs (36y 260d) to score for Manchester United against Newcastle in August, 2010.

When Rodney Alcala was the winning contestant on The Dating Game, America's version of Blind Date, nobody realised at the time that he was a serial killer having already murdered at least four women and then continuing his murder spree after winning the show. The young lady on the show who chose him decided in the end not to go on the date with him after meeting him backstage and finding him a little creepy....

Knew that too - was an article on BBC about, amazing isn't it?
They also said that WW2 ended in 1990 or something stupid, and after asking when dinosaurs became extinct they said they haven't as existing birds (with their bipedal gait) have descended from dinosaurs
Stupid program (although sometimes entertaining I grant you), created by an absolute tit of a man.Sadly they'll still bite you if you're fully dry in a dry-suit.
