[QUOTE="Sarbak, post: 2311848, member: 530098"] Well, I thought our organs contained a high water content and... I dunno whether I thought the rest of it was just sloshing around inside us - I guess I've never really given it much thought. But I suppose I didn't really think a piece of steak would be over 60% water. I just googled it... "Up to [B]60%[/B] of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of [B]73%[/B] water, and the lungs are about [B]83%[/B] water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%." Every day's a school day :) [/QUOTE]
