The most suspect component of your analysis is the mass of ants, and answers.com doesn't strike me as a super reliable source.

Perhaps, but you have about 30 times more ant-mass than human-mass, which is 4890 times more than my analysis. This suggests an average mass per ant of 1.5 grams. That seems a lot for an ant to me. Same as 1.5 cubic centimeters of water. Where did you get your figure?
