Emma wow’ed us with this amazing fact;

Did you know that the body weight of a sunfish increases 60 million times in its lifetime?

This should “Wow You” because that would get extremely heavy. At that rate, a human would grow to weigh as much as four Titanic cruise ships. You wouldn’t be able to move and you would probably die really fast from all that weight and fat.
