Dumb People, or Dumb Questions?

Often times, we hear the phrase, "There are no dumb questions".  Or, (the better version in my opinion), "There are no dumb questions. . . just dumb people."  But today I bring before you; (for your viewing pleasure of course) one of the strangest question's you will ever encounter in this lifetime:  "How much does the internet weigh?"
Now, this may seem like one of those "no dumb questions. . . just dumb people"  type of a question, but no, there has been a mathematical examination of this puzzling topic and the results were posted on this website:


In case you don't want to read all that mumbo-jumbo, (because there really is a lot, and it made MY brain fry so. . . ), the final answer of the most random question asked is:

". . . a staggering 40 petabytes, or 40 x 1015 (to the fifteenth power) bytes: a 4 followed by 16 zero's"!!!!!

Man do some people have WAY to much free time on their hands!
