Oops; that was supposed to say, "I contain as much information as 165 times my body-mass in ants".

I'm kinda disappointed that your objection was that the math didn't work, and not that I'm smarter than 165 ants. (I admit they are winning the battle over the kitchen counter. But that's gotta be, like, 2000 ants. Don't sell me short.)

If you want to say that you're all the information in your head equally, then you can't ask questions like "What are the odds I would have been an ant?"
