how do you find the how many square inches your body is?

Um, you don't. Finding the exact area of a complex solid is pretty much impossible.

Just do some fermi stuff.

You could get someone to kill you, cut your body into little chunks, blend it up bit by bit, and use one of those thingies to measure how much body goo there is. But I guess by then you wouldn't really care.

Couldn't you also submerge yourself in water and measure how many cubic inches of water is displaced?

Wouldn't that be a measure of volume, and not surfcae area?

It's not surface area he's looking for, anyway..
