The Speed of Toilet Paper

Here's the kind of things you can do to have some fun with math:

Americans use enough toilet paper in one day to wrap around the world nine
times. If it were on one giant roll, we would be unrolling it at the rate of
7,600 miles per hour - roughly mach. 10, ten times the speed of sound.

Do the math, it's physically impossible.

Ass burns?

Hey you jerk, it's:

I think anyone could realize that and the way you wrote it is STILL wrong,
it's http://www.odd-info.com. Question: what good does calling someone a
jerk unwarranted do? Just wondering...

In round numbers Earth's diameter is 13000 km; its circumference is
40000 km or 4E7 m. Population of the US is roughly 300 million. 9 x 4E7
m / 3E8 = 3 x 4E-1 = 1.2 meters per person per day. That's the right
order of magnitude.

Actually wrapping it nine times around the world is, granted,
physically impossible.

It makes it clear what sort of person this "William Elliot" is.
Elegant, refined, tactful, and absolutely not overcompensating for any
physical deficiencies.

 

Hm, about 1 roll per month. Seems within range.

Thank you for your elegantly contorted answer upon my behalf.
By physical deficiencies do you mean inadequate typing skills?

 

well, uh, most of us here type with our fingers, but sure, I guess.

We aim to please, so please aim. <--- funnier over a urinal

I imagine a quick downward glance next time you're in the shower ought
to answer your question.

That would be next Tuesday, right?

"Danked," the past participle of "dank", is used to refer to someone
who replies to his own post on an online forum posing as another person
(see "Internet sock puppet") but forgetting to change his username . . . .
This was an act of stupidity meriting a name of its own, and because the hapless
contributor's username was Danks, the term "dank" or "danked" emerged.

Some chyks have been known to type with their boobies.

Ah shucks, an uncreative plagiarist.

Your banal penis envy insult lacks any inspiration for me to proffer
you a poetic retort. Thus I'll have to resort to the inspiration of
a previous neophyte bad mouther to whom I answered:

White is black
and black is white
and you so lack,
we'll cut you slack.

No, I take baths.

 

You might want to find a dictionary site so you can figure
out what the second big word means. It would be preferable
if you checked your nonsense *before* posting it to the
usenet. I know I always do.

You are Comicbook Guy from the Simpsons, and I claim my Darth Vader
"Empire Strikes Back" action figure in its original box.

 

Look out Darth Vader, you shouldn't hold a death ray in your hand when
you're rolling on the floor with laughter, you might hit yourself ...
Darth Vader? Darth Vader? Oh no, nooo... I shouldn't have told him that
joked. Damn, with his death, Bush will take over Empire and we'll be
longing for the good old days of RayGun Darth Vader.

 

"shucks"
an exclamation of mild disappointment, disgust, etc.

 

He thinks "shucks" is a big word? That's kinda sad, innit?

Did she even bother writing a hefty-kewl burnout post? I'm too lazy to
Google...

 

I think she went quietly, in her sleep.

Lazy is as lazy doesn't.

Well, Billy's busy with his dance classes and his working class family
over there in UKasia, so I suppose "shucks" *is* an awfully big word
to him. I mean, I imagine British dance schools don't emphasize
literacy, do you?

It's more like the difference between YHBT and YHL.

HAND!

It has a high letter to syllable ratio: 6, in fact.

What is the standard for what constitutes a big word?
