Lie of the Day #498

Humans are like ants and can lift 50 times their body weight and do so regularly.  You don’t realize this because humans actually weight a lot less than they think they do.  Humans actually average about 15 lbs in their total body weight.  Scales are just calibrated off because people don’t understand small numbers.  This is also the same reason that the “stone” weight measurement never really took off.
