Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Marriage Fail FYI: 7 Other Things That Take 72 Days
Just over 1,700 hours, or 103,680 minutes, or 72 days -- that's how long Kim Karadashian's marriage to Kris Humphries lasted. Even their whirlwind three-month-long engagement was longer than their newlywed bliss.We're not judging -- OK, maybe just a little -- but there are so many other monumental things that have happened and happen every day that are a much better use of 72 days' time.
Here, an eclectic list of things that take 72 days to accomplish, just in case these two decide to put things into perspective one day.
1. Sailing around the world
Inspired by Jules Verne, female journalist Nellie Bly sailed around the world in 72 days back in 1889. Around the world! On a sailboat! Kim and Kris just lived in New York for a bit and flew to Vegas and Dubai for quick vacations.
2. Filming 'Schindler's List'
Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning Best Picture from 1993 took only 72 days to shoot. Not that anyone should get any ideas about putting Kim in an Academy Award-worthy film, but you get the point.
3. An epic trip from Cairo to Nairobi
Always wanted to see the pyramids? Ride a donkey? Watch hippos wallowing in a Kenyan lake? This spectacular trip of a lifetime takes only 72 days.
4. Re-living the true story behind 'Alive'
Remember that story about the rugby team from Uruguay that crashed in the Andes and waited what felt like an eternity to be rescued? It got the Hollywood treatment in 'Alive,' starring Ethan Hawke? The survivors made it through 72 days in the cold and snow ... and they only had to eat a few of their fallen friends to stay alive!
5. Making babies!
Well, one of the important steps in that process at least. The development of immature sperm to mature sperm takes 72 days. All it needs is a hot date with a fertile egg and voila! These two didn't even give Kris' swimmers a shot.
6. Art Sims-itating life
Like the Kardashian family, the video and computer game The Sims is pretty popular -- the franchise has sold more than 100 million games worldwide. The average lifespan of an "elder" Sims character: 72 short days.
7. Biking the Tour de France three and a half times
The Tour de France is an average of 21 days of racing each year. Kim and Kris could've gotten in better shape and saved themselves a lot of heartache and headlines by just biking that route a few times.
What else could Kim and Kris have done with the last 72 days of their lives? Share your ideas in the comments.
