The small/large intestine combined is just over 7 meters long, and I think the vessels is like 50,000 miles or something.

These statistics are fucking stupid. Did you know if you take something that's very compressed, then estimate it's length uncompressed, it covers more area!?

Isn't it something like: Long enough to orbit Earth three times?

I don't think there's a length requirement needed to orbit a planet.

Exactly something like that.
Believe it or not.
I don't recall the exact amount and if
differed from one person to another but it is something of that envergure.
Weird fact but true.
Thanks REP.

Here's something more impressive.

Take a really really huge sheet of paper, and fold it in half 100 times (assume that the material can be folded this many times)

how thick would the resulting fold be?

it's roughly the size of the universe.

Seen this before. It's insanely thick. 7 was the limit on actually folding a sheet of paper if I remember right.

i believe you'll find it impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 12 times

7 might be the limit for unidirectional folding in half
