62 Lego pieces and somewhere between 143,000 and 17,500,000 ants for each person living on earth

By Jack Brummet, Cooties Ed.

I just saw on Mashable that there are 62 Lego pieces for every person on this sweet green sphere.

This made me wonder.  Not from Mashable: There are 10,000,000,000,000,000 ants alive at any time, or, roughly 143,000 per person.  Insects.com and answer.com say there are at least 1.5 million ants per person, according to various scientists.  Info.com says the number is one million.   Chacha.com says (with no supporting facts) that "For every 700 million ants that come into this world, there are only 40 human beings," or, 700,000,000 / 40 = 17,500,000 a/k/a seven teen million, five hundred thousand.  

Whether it's 143,000 or 17,500,000, that's a buttload of cooties.
