    Actually, in Freedom Units it’s 2,040,000 blue whales per hour

    Length of a blue whale: 30 meters 61,200 km / 0.03 km = 2,040,000

      Nope. You’re off by a power of 10 because 30 meters is 0.03 km.

      So it’s 2,040,000 blue whales per hour. ;)

      But in terms of miles an hour? About 38,000. Or, as the crow flies, LA to New York in 3 minutes and 51 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to listen to the hit Madonna song “4 Minutes.”

        Whoops, good catch. I definitely thought .03 and then just screwed it up anyway

        3 minutes and 51 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to listen to the hit Madonna song “4 Minutes.”

        Unless we’re talking the radio edit, of course. Otherwise, four minutes is also less time than 4 Minutes.

      I really feel like freedom units should be hotdogs per second.

      It’s cheating to use footlongs, btw.

        Hotdogs aren’t standardized though. But I guess we could agree to use Kirkland Signature hotdogs, you know, the ones Costco sells for $1.50 + soda at the food court.

      How many bald eagles, though?

        Depends on your deep frying equipment.

          I hear the secret sauce on Big Macs actually contains some bald eagle (allegedly)
