Jokes!!!! Walk Around The World Ever get that feeling? No, not the one shortly before your bowels deposit their contents all over your grannies sofa. The one where you think, "i feel like walking around the world today, how long would it take me?" Well no, neither do i, but i thought id work it out anyway. So pay attention. The circumference (distance around the outside for all you foundation paper students out there) of the earth is roughly 41,670 km's. So, lets say your an average fellow of average build with nothing un-average about you, you walk at 4km per hour (about the same speed as an Elephant rambles accross the African Plains coincidentally). Therefore it would take you, Mr/Miss Average 10,417 hours to walk in a straight line from where you are now, right back to your seat again. Thats a lot of hours i hear you grumble. And your right. Its actually 434 days, or even 1.2 years. So there you go, next time you feel the need to show off how completely sad and uninteresting you really are you can bask in the glory that this little fact will undoubtebly bring you. This is of course not taking into account toilet breaks/sleep breaks/food/drink breaks. This is just straight 24 hour non stop hardcore rambling. I was gonna work out how long it would take including those things but by the time girls are finished on the toilet you could have walked around the world anyway. So now you know...1.2 years to walk around the world. |
