Probed for animal related trivia due to a bet between Norm and
Coach, Cliff comes up with this little known fact about whales: |
You take your average
whale's intestines and stretch them out.....You're looking at
three miles and change.
Coach wins the bet.
The truth:
This bit of trivia comes up quite short. Three miles measures
15,840 feet and we're not counting the change. The average
whale's intestine is 5 - 6 times the length of it's body and
the longest whale was 110 feet for an estimated 660 feet of
intestines.
Cliff Recommends:
