It could be. If you had a desire to check out all of every parallel and the funds to make it happen. Totally probable....

Edit: Btw, another bit of trivia. They aren't parallels of longitude, because they all converge at the top and bottom. They're only running parallel at the equator.

Talking of parallels and useless trivia, did you know that the length of the 60th parallels, both north and south, is only half that of the equator? Something to do with the bulging of the planet supposedly.

 

[Quivorir]

Because gravity is pulling the planets sides out.

The Voyager 1 space probe is the first and only ever man made object to leave the solar system

I was told the other day by a workmate that the daily US consumption of ice cream is equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

Unsure if this is accurate, if so it's impressive.

It's impossible to write out a Googolplex in long form (1,000,000,000...etc.). There simply isn't enough space in the observable universe to do so, even if you could shrink every number to the size of an atom.

Boom! Myth busted.

Can you confirm that whatever you've posted is 1 followed by a Googol of zeroes?

It still never gets old seeing someone try.

Umm...I have no idea. I used google if that counts for something.

The average male member is not 6 inches in length. It is about 4.5, which is the most common length found on surveys. For every 12 inch member, two people have only 3 inches. So two of you reading this......

Better get counting, man. Keeping in mind that to audibly count to one million it will take around 5 days, 18 hours, 53 minutes and to reach one billion will take you 15 years, 308 days, 9 hours, 41 minutes.

Bust that myth, smartarse.

If you stood still at the equator for 24 hours you would have travelled about 40,000 kilometers. If you stood still next North Pole for the same amount of time you would have moved a couple of feet.

You got further than I initially thought a Collingwood supporter could count.

My friend can lick her own elbows.

Not just touch it either, like seriously, she can lick it like an ice-cream cone.

Crap.

No. You really should listen to Monty python's galaxy song. You'll get an idea of how much someone standing still at the north pole for a day actually does move.
