Okay - avg human weighs fifty kg (110 lbs). There's waht? five billion of us. So that is 250 billion kg of human. Assume a density of 1 even (if you relax your lungs in the pool, you'll sink) and you come up with 250 billion liters. 250 million cubic meters. That's a quarter of a cubic kilometer, a cube say 630 meters on a side if you squeeze out all the air. If we plate that out a meter thick (shoulder room, but barely) we cover an area of 250 square kilometers. 100 square miles. Manhattan alone would hold most of that. Oh. At 27 liters per cu ft - we arrive at about 2 cu ft per warm body. That would require some Fargo processing however.
