Does not compute.

Supposed to be "weighs". I typed today's fact while on the phone (and I can't do one thing at once much less two things).

You must have just made this up because it's totally wrong. One cubic yard is about 764 liters, and the average person breathes 6 liters per minute, or 8640 liters per day. Thats about 11.3 cubic yards of air.

Got it from my Funk & Wagnals calendar. If you don't believe it, take it up with them. Maybe they were missing a decimal or something.
