1. A 1,200-pound horse eats about seven times it's own weight each year.
If a human ate in proportion to a lion, they would have 50 Cheeseburgers a meal (how many meals does a lion have?).
Americans that consume Coca Cola are likely to ingest 100Lbs of sugar a year.
Over the course of your life you will shed 40Lbs of dead skin cells.
One quarter (or is it 1/3) of the world's population
does not know
how to make a phone call.
The most recognized phrase in the world is "OK".
The second most recognized phrase in the world is "Coca Cola".
trillion = 1 with 12 zeros
Googol = 1 with 100 zeros = 10
100

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
googolplex = 1 with a google of zeros
P.S. When my brother was in kindergarten the teacher said googolplex was not a number.

The fastest path on a race track is one where you turn the least.

RoadRunner advertised = (10Mb?/1Mb?)
Cap at = (10.24Mb/1.024Mb)
Best = (9808kb/976kb)
Avg. = (8000+kb/900+kb)

I just hope it gets better for you and yours. Don't wait till the bow is at sea level now. Or learn to swim. You know you are welcome here. But we do have evil TV's here though. 4 actually. We would be rich in the UK.
And 2 computers, and several gas hog cars.
Plus enough ground to put your whole city block in it. (housing area surrounded by road)
