Strange ... but true?
Quote:
A sperm = 37.5 MB of genetic information. Using basic math, we can compute the bandwidth of human male ejaculation as: (37.5MB x 100M x 2.25)/5 = (37,500,000 bytes/sperm x 100,000,000 sperm/ml x 2.25 ml) / 5 seconds = 1,687,500,000,000,000 bytes/sec = 1,687.5 TerraBytes/sec
Thoughts please, geeks?

a bukkake would probably be a DDoS then, 11 men would give 17 petabytes/sec!

Dunno, but presumably a condom is a null route...
