Brooklyn Bridge

The Brooklyn Bridge is 5,989 feet in length.

It is 71,868 inches long or just over nine furlongs in horse racing lengths.

If you play golf on a hole that is a 500 yard par five, the bridge would equal four of those holes in length.

Washington Monument

The Washington Monument is 555 feet in height.

If you have an eight foot ceiling in your house, it is 69 ceilings tall.

If someone is five feet tall, you would need 111 people to equal the same height.

Internet usage

If you spend four hours a day online for 50 years, you spent 73,000 hours online. This is 3,041 days or 8.3 years of nonstop use.

Get out of bed early

If you can just wake up one minute earlier each day, after 80 years you would have an extra 486 hours to do something else. This will give you 20.27 extra days.

Keep working

If a company makes $16 billion per year in revenue and you make $50,000 per year, you have to work 320,000 years to make $16 billion.

If you make only $25,000 per year, you have to work 640,000 years.

Different car speeds

At 45 mph, you would travel at .75 miles a minute, and get there in 6.666 minutes.

At 35 mph, you would travel at .583 miles a minute, and get there in 8.576 minutes.
