Knut, the polar bear from Berlin

So there's this famous polar bear cub in Germany. His name is Knut. He's one year old this week. During the year he went from weighing 2 pounds (day 1) to weighing 250 pounds (day 365).

I was a fat baby. I weighed over 9 pounds. Applying the same growth multiple as Knut would have put me at around 1,200 pounds at my first birthday.

Or if I were to start growing at that rate today, I would go from 150 pounds to nearly 19,000 pounds by next December. So I'd need some new clothes for Christmas mom. And I'd also eat a lot.

Something to think about.
