You can calculate how much data is stored in a given amount of Kg of Human tissue here: http://parascientifica.com/humandata.php

The amount of data in one Kg is:
Data in exabytes = 868

To give you an idea, this is equal to:
273,066,666,666,667 mp3′s,
198,581,560,284 dvd’s and
37,333,333,333 Blu-ray disks!

I kinda understand what you mean about the 10 trillion other cells, but I'm wondering why you think that makes it all that less impressive. My bet is that we're going to find out that the dna content in our cells aren't all the 100% same. Through mutations and epigenetic changes that 'same' code can be interpreted much differently.

This does bring the total amount of GB data stored in the human body down. Amazing website also...I have been forwarded to it from the forbes.com blog and like it a lot. Hope to visit it regularly also. Hmmm…Never thought of it, but seems reasonable; although I have to admit that the other 10 trillion cells are just repetitive copies of a single cell.
