11,000 miles per second is about 6% of the speed of light so the theory of relativity is probably a factor there. Sure, I agree 73 years still seems off by quite a large margin but I'm convinced you can't just rule of three an answer when dealing with those speeds.
 
I quoted those statistics from a Stephen Hawking program, so I'm pretty sure he of all people would have his facts in order :). And elitedreamer, they said the fuel would be antimatter. The whole program, my mind became more and more blown.

Those shows keep end up making me unable to fall asleep. Just trying to get that stuff into your head is hard. Antimatter? What the 🤬?! I thought that, wait, doesn't make any sense....
 
You don't have to understand all of it. The parts I did understand were absolutely mind blowing, and the parts that I couldn't follow still had amazing picture quality ;).

I've come up with a fantastic way of providing the world's power. What you need is the corpse of an English teacher attached to a dynamo. Then what you do is link the corpse directly to the GameFAQS forums, a selection of teenagers' FaceBook status updates and Pokenmon fansites. Bob's your autie's live-in lover: free electricity.

Is it just me or is the presence of Famine here wanted? He could probably go on for pages about fdacts.
 
Well, Famine is full of actual useful facts.

No doubt there will be a lot of useless facts too. :lol:
 
Siberia contains more than 25% of the world's forests.
 
Horses cannot vomit.
49% of the world population are female.
North Korea is the most secretive country in the world.
 
Famine is the top poster on GTP with 36.860 posts.

But truly is there such thing as a useless fact? A fact that has little or no reference to our daily lives does make us think and even have interest to other things. That's not really useless is it?

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
Nothing rhymes with Orange or Silver.
More people die each year by falling coconuts that shark attacks.

GT5 facts.

GT5 is the only console game where you can have multiple tank cars racing on the same track,at once on earth.

A Full weight ballast Veyron set to max can pin a tank car into a wall.

Dodge SRT4 is the only production car 4 cylinder turbo that can be tuned over 600 hp and reach over 218 mph.

Honda insight is the fastest hybrid in the game.

in a run,(game g force wise) the redbull X1 would kill a driver after the first turn.

Hondas are the most talked about cars online.

Porsche is mentioned in GT5.

The best handling fwd cars are mostly honda.

The rarest car seen online is the Toyota carina ED 2.0 X 4WS

people usually found using a tank car are automatically kicked.

Standard cars are more sought/popular after then premium cars.(based on online community)

Tokyo R246 has Hi detail buildings/roads stretching way beyond the set course.

special stage Route 5 has buildings modeled with desks and potted plants inside.

top gear test track in licence tests has a "wet" track but not in any other mode in the game.
