What is the aerodynamic drag of the average Canadian?

Wikipedia says the average mass\weight for a man in Canada in 2008 is 84.6 kg (187 lb).

I am going to expose myself to ridicule by assuming that Canadians, on average, are comparable to residents of the United States of America, where the average in 2017 was 90.6 kg (199.7 lb).

The lowest is 55.2 kg (121.7 lb) in Bangladesh.

The highest is 99.4 kg (219.1 lb) in Tonga.

The second-highest is 92.1 kg (203.0 lb) in the Czech Republic, which is much closer to the U.S. than to Tonga.

The last time that I weighed myself I was 233, although the hospital said 250, so yay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight

I have wanted to watch this for a few days, but finally took the time: This was awesome!

He doesn't seem like a big guy and definitely does not appear to be overweight, so yay for him, but how does his weight compare with the Barbie Corvette, even if it can compete with actual Corvettes?

How does his wind drag compare?

Walmart says the current one weighs 56.4 lbs, is 52" long, 21" high, and is "is the fastest Power Wheels vehicle in the line going up to 6 mph."

Did they measure that with a racecar driver like this:


Joel never mentioned his top speed.

Speaking of tiny houses (as we weren't)....

There is a solitary figure at the port side bow for scale. The [inoperable] fins are provided with what appear to be two-story detached tiny houses lining a pool. To scale they are two figures high.

But wait...

There's more...

The houses on the turtle back? They are half the size. I'm having a Zoolander Art School moment...

Whaaaat???? That’s too much to build, even for the Saudis. Haha… I visited the website. “Properties on sale now”. And, “If realized, it would become the world’s largest floating structure ever built.” Pretty cool though. Right up the alley of those mega rich middle eastern oil sheiks. Puts they’re man made islands and hotel shaped like a sail to shame.
