holy shit....

they're right. i saw some commercial that said that people eat ~10 billion donuts a year, and that when lined up, it would be enuff to add a ring to saturn. (sorry, don't recall if that was americans or people in general, but i certainly won't put it past us overweight fast food sucking fat fuck americans. at least i'm trying unlike the lardass at work.)

so i wondered, just how long would 10 billion donuts on end be.

using an average of 3" per donut, that made an easy 30 billion inches.

divide that by 12 (inches in 1 foot) and then again by 5280 (feet in a mile).

i got an approximate length of:

10B donuts =~473484.84 miles

according to this government (which makes it immediately suspect) website containing facts on saturn, the equatorial circumference is 235,298 miles.

which means, we really do eat enuff donuts that create an additional ring around saturn.

and on a semi-related note, for you folks who are working on losing weight, but don't seem to feel as tho you are losing much - goto the supermarket and pick up a 1lb package of hamburger. that's how much you are losing. so if you've lost 3 pounds, find a 3lb package (prolly a family size package) of meat (burger, chicken, pork loin, etc) and that's how much you've lost. it really does put weight loss into perspective to look at it that way.
