    What percentage of the body is water?

    Question #37602. Asked by joey_T2003. (Aug 17 03 3:45 PM)

    		'An average adult body is 50 to 65 percent water -- that's roughly 45 quarts. Men are more watery than women. A man's body is 60 to 65 percent water, compared to 50 to 60 percent for a woman. In infants, the figure is a whopping 70 percent according to statistics compiled by the International Bottled Water Association.'

    What percentage of the water in the human body is inside the cells?

    On this date quite a long time ago, a certain body of water was involved in a famous man's activities and later figured in the historical account and a well-known idiom. We really aren't quite sure which body of water this was, though a Starbucks now exists at the supposedly-relevant site (naturally), and some historians think that they've got a lock on the location. What am I talking about?
