Okay, I'll grab the opportunity while it's here!   :

Once Again, probably is not "General Knowledge," but it's interesting information that applies to each and every one of us!:

What is the ratio of HUMAN CELLS in your body to BACTERIA CELLS in your body?

I'll take either a straight cell count ratio (e.g. 10373 Human/Bacterium), or a weight percentage of bacterium (IN YOUR BODY RIGHT NOW!   ) alone.

[BFM_Kiwi]

I think there are more bacterial cells than human cells.  400% ?

[BFM_Fénix]

1 human cell to 10 bacteria cells.

And while we're waiting,  a guy gets marooned on a remote island in the south pacific.  He hears constant drumming, it drives him crazy.  He finds a native finally, and asks if the drumming will ever stop.  "Very bad when drumming stops" says the native.  The man is terrified and afraid to ask anything further.  The drumming continues the next day, and the next.  He asks again when the drumming will stop, and again is told "very bad when drumming stops".  It is driving him crazy and he really wants to know what will happen.  He grabs another native and asks, what happens when the drumming stops?  The native replies "bass solo".

So unfair...but so funny!

Reminds me of:

How can you tell that there's a singer outside your door?
They don't know what key to use and they don't know when to come in.

And, of course, all the jazz jokes:

What's the difference between a deep-pan pizza and a jazz musician?
A deep-pan pizza can feed a family of four.

What's the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist?
Well, a rock guitarist plays three chords to thousands of people...

OK here is one I heard yesterday.

A person will do this an average 5 times a day?

Forget to have a piece of fruit?

Rickp9 - Eat something? (Snack, meal, etc.)

Mxy - I think it's around 1 human to 15 bacteria.

Other than forget what this thread is about... People talk to themselves, maybe?

[Lucky]

Look at themselves in a mirror?

Surely the best answer is "nobody knows" - but I believe it's roughly 1:100 human:bacteria.

[MrMxyzptlk]

1 human cell to 10 bacteria cells.

On the mark, Fenix!

10:1 bacteria!

(By weight it's only ~2% body weight, tho.)


...And once again, it's going to be hard to figure out what's supposed to happen next in this thread, given all the other stuff....

Yur Up, Fenix!

(And oddly enough, the first study to begin to classify all these bacteria living within us just this past July!  )

[BFM_Fénix]

Hmmm since I don't really know what to ask...

Where are most of the bacteria cells inside the body?
