Skin.\n\nIf you're talking about raw, physical size, then it's around everything else.  Largest!\n\nIf you're talking about weight, it accounts for about 15% of the total body mass, more than any other organ.  Largest!\n\nIf you're talking about surace area, it's about two square metres in size.  Largest!\n\nThough I should say that's just an AVERAGE human.  I seem to recall a case of a woman in Texas who had a sixty pound tumor in her gut.  Totally benign, but it just kept getting bigger and bigger.  She thought she was just gaining weight...

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body that it could squirt blood 30 feet.\n\nBanging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.\n\nThe strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.\n\nA cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds up to 60 mph.\n\nBy age sixty, most people have lost half of their taste buds.\n\nHumans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5 pounds a year.\n\nIf you fart constantly for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.\n\nIt is impossible for a human to lick their elbow.\n\nYou cannot sneeze with your eyes open.

It is not clear what you are asking.  How can I know which organs you will be removing?\n\nThe largest organ is the skin.  You will cut that, and peel it back, I guess.\n\nThe next largest is the liver; in the abdominal cavity.\n\nThe gut looks big, but AFAIK you do not count its contents, in assessing its actual size.\n\nBut there are many organs!  I have no idea how small you are going, or which sections of the rat.

Heaviest Man\nThe heaviest person in medical history was Jon Brower Minnoch (USA, 1941–83), who had suffered from obesity since childhood. He was 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) tall and weighed 178 kg (28 st) in 1963, 317 kg (50 st) in 1966 and 442 kg (69 st 9 lb) in September 1976.\n\nIn March 1978, Minnoch was admitted to University Hospital, Seattle, where consultant endocrinologist Dr. Robert Schwartz calculated that Minnoch must have weighed more than 635 kg (100 st), a great deal of which was water accumulation due to his congestive heart failure.\n\nIn order to get Minnoch to University Hospital, it took a dozen firemen and an improvized stretcher to move him from his home to a ferry-boat. When he arrived at the hospital, saturated with fluid and suffering from heart and respiratory failure, he was put in two beds lashed together. It took 13 people just to roll him over.\n\nAfter nearly two years on a diet of 1,200 calories per day, he was discharged at 216 kg (34 st) – the greatest weight loss for a human being. In October 1981, though, he had to be readmitted – after putting on over 89 kg (34 st). When he died on September 10, 1983, he weighed more than 362 kg (57 st).

21 grams = weight of your soul ( a cup of your life).

According to the Body Mass Index (BMI) a "normal" weight is between 155-195 lbs. Both below and above that range is considered unhealthy, though there is an exception. Those who have large amounts of muscle can weigh significantly more than that range and still be considered in good health. \n\nThe best thing to do would be to talk to your doctor and figure out what your body fat percentage is, which is a much more accurate measure of health.

I have heard this, but only a few ounces at most.\nCan that claim be substantiated?\nOr, in fact, does the soul/spirit not have any weight since it does not have mass?
