# If you minced them
they wouldn't be living any longer, would they?

Duh.

# It'd depend what bits you minced really.

# Actually I think it would be smaller than that
by a factor of 10 volume wise

6 E +09 population
Average weight 40kg
Total mass of humans = 2.4 E +11 kg
Density of human puree roughly 1kg/l
Number of litres/kg in 1km3 box = 1 E +12

Plenty of room to spare, you could also include pets and possibly all animals.

# The fact as quoted
didn't involve mincing, but first time I posted it we did the volume equations and it seemed a bit wonky, so I just added that as an afterthought this time.

# We make a lot of mess per unit mass really
