Distances You've Gone And Don't Even Know It!

#1 How Far You've Traveled So Far In Your Lifetime...

Let it be known, I received a B- in high school calculus, so I'm credible. The following statistics show that math can be fun. Here are some distances you have gone (or will go) in your lifetime.

#2 You will use 112 miles of toilet paper in your life.

Thanks to helpful statistics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the average man uses 20,805 sheets a year. After crunching the numbers we came up with a grand total of 592,942 feet, or 112.3 miles. (One sheet is 4.5 inches in length.)

#3 In other words, every decade your hand travels 3 miles wiping your a$s.

Let's assume it you cover one inch per wipe using only one sheet at a time. That comes to 1,733.75 feet a year. That's a third of a mile.

#4 You will pee 1,313 miles in your life.

Imagining your urine as one long strand, starting from birth to death, we can figure out the length. Science Buzz says the average man will piss 10,957.5 gallons in his life, or 1,464.8 cubic feet. (See Graph)

#5 The Graph.

By using the equation for determining the volume of a cylinder (your pis$ strand, guesstimating the diameter of it is .5 cm), we came up with the distance of 6,930,754 feet, or 1,313 miles.

#6 Through college, your masturbatory emissions will fly 408 feet.

Per Men's Health, the average launch is 8.5 inches. And since undergraduates buff the bishop 12 times a month, we come to our grand total of 408 feet. College is stressful.

Now that we've covered the essentials, let's move on.

#7 In your lifetime you will walk 3 times around the planet.

The average American walks 5,900 steps daily (which sounds way too high). Maintaining that daily average until 76 will bring you to 163,666,000 steps. Summarily, a person will walk 77,493 miles in a lifetime. Which is equivalent to 3.11 times around earth, walking on the equator.

#8 You'll commute to the moon and back, at least, throughout your working life.

The average person drives 25 miles to work and back each day. Retirement age is 66 years, and assuming you begin commuting at 22 and continue for 44 years, you'll go a grand total 550,000 miles in your life. (The moon is 238,900 miles from Earth.)

#9 You'll waste more time rushing around in your life than you do relaxing.

Even though we are required by physicians and scientists to get at least 7 good hours of sleep, we will spend an average of our time doing nothing but rushing from one thing to another. The average person wastes over 49 hours per week just running from one chore or activity to another. This is why rest and relaxation is good for you. Calm down. You'll have a stroke.

#10 Every six years, Americans drink enough bottles of beer to have them reach planet Mercury if they were stacked up on top of each other.

Americans drink around 6.3 billion gallons of beer annually. Converting that into ounces (and bottles), you would have 67.2 billion 12 oz. bottles. Each bottle is roughly 9 inches tall, so that would stretch to 9.54 million miles high every year. Mercury is 57 million miles away.

#11 The average person's fingernails will grow 9 feet in a lifetime.

Human fingernails grow at a rate of 3mm a month, and over the course of a lifetime that adds up to 2,736mm, or approximately 108 inches.

#12 According to a 2006 study, the average dollar bill travels a little over 200 miles a year.

This claim is based on numbers from WheresGeorge.com, a site that allows people to track currency as it moves around the country. So, be sure to wash your hands after handling cash, kids. You never know where that dollar has been... right Candy?

#13 If you lined up all the bananas the average American eats in his lifetime, it'd be 9 football fields long.

Americans eat an average of 62 bananas every year and the average banana is 7.5 inches long. In all, those bananas lined up over 76 years would be 2,945 feet, or 897.6 meters long.

#14 You'll probably spend over 4.5 weeks per year waiting in line.

Yep, that's right. You will spend an average of 4.5 weeks per year just waiting for your number to be called, or for your turn in line. That's 31.5 days just waiting for something. Anything. You will be stuck in a waiting pattern for the same amount of time it takes you could have built the Ark. Yes, though it says 40 days and 40 nights, it actually took 378 days to construct, according to scriptures. So, what are you waiting for, we might need another ark soon

#15 How Far Have YOU Traveled So Far?

You may not have reached all these goals and accomplishments. Yet. But life is young, you've got a long way to go! Enjoy the ride.
