If we added it all together

I've watched thousands of movies during my life.  Assuming I have watched an average of 200 movies per year (including repeat viewings) since I was 6 years old (I think this is a conservative estimate . . . probably, I've seen even more because 200 per year is slightly more than one movie every other day, and there are plenty of times when I watch a movie every night of the week, and then 5 to 10 more over the weekend . . . plus, I'm not even counting the movies I watched before age 6), it would add up to nearly 8,000 movies.  Assuming an average of 90 minutes each, that's 720,000 minutes or 12,000 hours or 500 days of movie watching.  I wonder how many lifetimes of movie watching we would get if we added up ALL the movie-watching hours for everyone in this forum.  We could probably start a small nation . . . and can't we find anything more constructive to do, dammit?

Of course we can find things more constructive to do.  The question is do we want to do them?

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.
