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 = 10100 =
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  Shocked

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.
Example of a Hyperplane: a three dimensional plane in the fourth dimension.
RoadRunner advertised = (10Mb?/1Mb?)  Cap at = (10.24Mb/1.024Mb) Best = (9808kb/976kb)  Avg. = (8000+kb/900+kb)
