I like the Stealth T-Rex

ROFL

Hooters in FL. No wonder florida sucks.

I think that map might actually represent the most publicly known corporations by state not size/revenue. theres gotta be a bigger company in florida then hooters right? lol

I don't even know what the Missouri one is.

the King of Beers

Zoomed out.....

This is not even close to accurate.


Dr Pepper bigger then Exxon....right. Dr Pepper is not even in the top 100 I bet.
Oklahoma would also be a energy company LaChapperal, probably.
Kansas would actually be a private company, Koch Industries. If you consider public only, I'm not really sure.

Antarctica has as much ice as the Atlantic Ocean has water? Really? I'm going to need some independent confirmation of that.

exxon wasent originally started in texas though I dont think. Garmin and Sonic are way more publicly known than lachapperal and koch to the average american though.

How the hell is Garmin the biggest one in KS? I thought that honor belonged to Sprint?

Also thought Oklahoma would be Hobby Lobby or Chesapeake Energy.

Is Pizza Hut still headquartered in Kansas? Cessna would be highly recognizable as well, though I'm not sure if it still exists.

Yeah, can't be revenue. There are probably a ton of banks in New York bigger than Verizon. I think this is just someone's top of mind list.

pizza hut started in wichita but its headquarted in plano texas now.

definitely agree with the hobby lobby in oky. thats way bigger than sonic.

cessna was originally started in oklahoma

So on top of fighting in front of kids, you're also gay?

You're kind of an odd duck for a dentist...

Dr. Pepper ranked 45th in Texas last year according to Fortune 500. #1 was Exxon

#1 in Oklahoma, Oneok. Chesapeake Energy was #2

Sprint in Kansas

Missouri is something called Express Scripts Holdings.

Dr. Pepper the biggest in Texas? ROFL no chance.

I believe all those companies were started in that state and are still headquartered there.

exxon was not started in texas.

sprint definitely has garmin beat

also im pretty sure this map is going by brand recognition

I think that's Medco - the online prescription filling company.

FedEx is impressive they run like a machine, screw UPS.

I like the one about the Earth being as smooth as a bowling ball. That's impressive.

Also, how can a human survive for 2 minutes unprotected in space if blood boils at body temperature at an altitude of 12 miles? Can you survive that long with boiling blood?

Wyoming and Taco Johns?

It's wrong. That's a Belgian company.

Drizzling Shits

Bill Gates can buy Starbucks, Garmin and Dr. Pepper and still have about $1B in walking around money.

Yeah and with Android phones and free nav, I am not sure how Garmin car nav division will stay in business, luckily they do aviation..

And why the **** has Samsung/Android not come up with a car head unit I can plug my note2 into? That shit would rock..

Good question? Did it say that it boiled instantly or that it would take 2 minutes to occur?


Either way neat facts.

When I think Saks, I immediately think Alabama.


WTF?

Cool Post!

Look into the new Pioneer AppRadio 3 stereos. I am probably gonna purchase one for my car.

I wonder how they get that tidbit out there that there are as many people alive today that have lived throughout the whole of history. Doesn't look like its even close.

Some of these numbers don't add up. If 200K people are born every day, two people die every second then only 172.8K die. That's almost an additional 10 million people every year. That can't be worldwide. It would mean it takes a century to add a billion people. In 1960 the world population was 3 billion and its now over 7.

I'm probably off here; but I think I remember seeing something like
the nearest star is like 8 light years a way? speed of light is something like 600k MPH.
if you traveled 7miles per second, it would take you 200,000 years to reach it.

can't remember if that 8K light years was the sun, or the next nearest star.

The Sun is 8 light minutes away. I believe that the nearest star is about 4 light years away.
