    A morbid calculation I made coming home from work: the amount of bloodshed in Gaza is roughly equivalent to an Olympic sized swimming pool (i.e. 660,000 gallons). The human body holds 10.5 gallons of blood, and over 6,000 Palestinians have died so far. Now I can't stop imagining the Israeli government and its allies drowning in the blood the children they slaughtered.

    edit: Guys, I did the math wrong. Still, a shit ton of Palestinians have died.

      If every person had 10.5 gallons of blood and 6000 people died, that would be 63,000 gallons.

      But actually, a person only has around 1.5 gallons, not 10.5.

      9000 gallons is more like a backyard pool than an Olympic pool.
