Earth DAY?

"All of human history has happened on that tiny pixel, which is our only home."

- Carl Sagan

With today being Earth day and all I figure now would be a good time to raise some important issues. One for instance being why is earth day only one day out of the year?

Do we seriously think one day is enough to raise awareness about all the shit we're doing to our one and only home? Every water bottle, plastic bag, and emissions spoof adds to the fucking we as humans lay upon our living quarters. People say "blah blah blah by the time all this adds up our human race will have already moved to another planet or some shit". How are we suppose to migrate to another planet, let alone space, if we don't invest in the technology that will get us there.

I'll tell you why.

But not right now because it’s nice out. Do our home a favor today and pick up a piece of trash - recycle a bottle or whatever. This place is all we got




(The picture above- This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed ‘Pale Blue Dot’, taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic. From Voyager's great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size..)

Research

So last night, naturally, shits going down at 41 Long. Between watching the end of Ladies Man and The Inbetweeners a debate comes up questioning a random trivial fact I brought up awhile ago. The fact - about if stretched out human blood vessels can expand long enough to wrap around the Earth a couple times or someshit.

This was obviously met with debate - because that just sounds dumb.

 I didn't come up with the trivia - I just read it on the internets - not from Wiki so get off my dick about that. As some basic research will tell you the Earth's Circumference at the Equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km) compare that with the 50,000 - 100,000 miles of veins in the human body.

Is this so hard to believe? Do the math. Veins mean business. Now, take the internets word on these trippy but true* facts. (*-may require individual research if it sounds just toooo dumb)

• Humans have 46 chromosomes, peas have 14 and crayfish have 200.
• Without its lining of mucus your stomach would digest itself.
• There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.
• The low frequency call of the humpback whale is the loudest noise made by a living creature.
• More germs are transferred shaking hands than kissing.
• The fastest speed a falling raindrop can hit you is 18mph.
• At over 2000 kilometers long The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth. 
• A dog's sense of smell is 1,000 times more sensitive than a humans.
• To escape the Earth's gravity a rocket need to travel at 7 miles a second.
• If every star in the Milky Way was a grain of salt they would fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.
• Our oldest radio broadcasts of the 1930s have already traveled past 100,000 stars.
• The silkworm moth has eleven brains.
• Bats always turn left when leaving a cave.
• A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
• A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continually from the bottom of the glass to the top.
• More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes
• If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
