Here's the weight: one to three OUNCES. That's it. So, how does that change the ratio? Let's say a 5'8" person, weighing 150lbs. What ratio makes it sound the least impressive? Remember, I'm trying to make the point that spiders aren't really all that scary, when you compare us by size.

You guys are the best; thanks for helping me with this.

Here's video:

Well by weight, it would take 800 of them to equal a 150 lb human being, and that's being generous in saying that every single one of them weighs a full three ounces.

So in reality, they are about one tenth of one percent the weight of an "average" human. Not so scary.
