I am so horrifically bored that I just recorded and calculated that I am capable of wriggling my tongue at 16.6 wps (wriggles per second), or 996 wpm (hypothetically if I could wriggle at a continuous rate).
My wriggle rate is about twice the speed of my 7D's frame rate. So I win. But when I wriggle, I can't take any pictures, so in reality the Canon wins.

Post something mundane about yourself.

Reminds me of when i calculated the approximate combined weight (in ibs) of every human on earth, then the total gallons of water contained in those humans

That is 2.399992531e17 milliliters of water.
If one wriggle could lap up 1 milliliter, then how long would it take me to drink all of the human race?

I know it's easy, but for some reason I just can't grasp how to figure it out.

I fear your snake is having a bad influence on you, all this tongue wriggling.

Something mundane? I got my eyeballs taken out at 4 for eye surgery...I realized that is not the best introductory statement in classes after a while. lol

2.399992531e17 / 996 = 2.40963106e14
^water in mm^ ^wpm^ ^time in minutes^

No conversion is necessary for mm to w, because the ratio is 1:1.

2.40963106e14 minutes is approximately equal to 11 years and 58 days.

Actually, somehow that last calculation isn't right.

I have no idea where I screwed up on that.

Multiply the number of milliliters by the inverse of the wpm.

That gives 2.4096e14 minutes. Divide by 60 minutes in an hour, then by 24 hours in a day, then 365.25 days per year.

That gives 458,139,602.86 years.

Since almost half a billion years =/= 11 years, I think SammichEater's math is wrong, but I'm not sure what the mistake could be.
