This reminds me of a similar factoid.
Did you know that if you took the entire Pacific salmon catch and laid it out nose to tail across the Sahara desert…
…the stench would be overpowering!
Did you know that if you took every elephant on earth and stacked them up to the moon, they would all pretty much die?
Did you know that a blue whales carotid artery is so large that a small child could swim through them, but neither the whale nor the child would enjoy that.
I genuinely did not know that! 😵
If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.
If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.
No, a line is when there are people waiting in front of you, not when they’re beside you holding your hand.
“I’d like to teach the world to swim,
Oh shit, was that a shark?”The Coke commercial was the first thing that came to mind even after all these years. I never knew as a kid I was watching a mass murder/suicide.
Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.
Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.
