The earth's crust makes up less than 1% of the earth and all the oceans on the planet are in the earth's crust. So water makes up less than 1% of the earth. I remember hearing somewhere that the human body is something like 75% to 90% water but will have to research this more and get back to it.
Edit: Okay, I see the other gentleman has it at 70% for the human body which does sound accurate.
