Weekend joke - Interesting Facts (Part 1)

Okay, well it's not really a joke but interesting none the less.

1. More people live in New York City than in 40 of the 50 states.

2. The word “Pennsylvania” is misspelled on the Liberty Bell. (Oops!!)

3. There is enough water in Lake Superior to cover all of North and South America in one foot of liquid.

4. There's a town in Washington with treetop bridges made specifically to help squirrels cross the street

5. In 1872, Russia sold Alaska to the Unites States for about 2 cents per acre.

6. It would take you more than 400 years to spend a night in all of Las Vegas's hotel rooms. (Total rooms: 146,100 rooms in Las Vegas)

    Quoting  :

NYC (New York City) has highest density people in USA. Trump has at least 11 tall buildings (properties) in New York City mostly has his name, Trump, on them.

1. Trump International Hotel & Tower
2. 1290 Avenue of the Americas
3. Trump Building at 40 Wall St.
4. Trump World Tower
5. Trump Tower (He used to live in this building before moved to White House)
6. Trump SoHo
7. Trump Park Avenue
8. Wollman Rink in Central Park
9. Trump Parc and Trump Parc East
10. Trump Palace
11. 610 Park Ave.

Trump has properties in New Jersey state, Florida, .... The most famous place he owns is "Mar-a-Lago" a resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida, The name of Mar-a-Lago sounds like Trump 2nd wife, Marla Maples, who was born in USA, an American.

BTW, Alaska state is the largest land but population is low due to the cold weather. I think Alaska state population is below NYC. I have been to Alaska on cruise in 2004 (my first trip after filed divorce). Russia sold Alaska state to USA with about 2 cents of nowadays currency value per acre. It was a very good deal for USA.

    Quoting  :

No, New York city is a very crowded state. I just Googled NYC population is 8.538 million of people in 2016. The most density population city of whole USA. I have been to NYC, it is an urban city, full of people.

#1 says NYC a city population more than 40 states population. I have been to 12 U.S. National parks, I know Montana state, Wyoming state, Idaho state, ... are in countryside, so not many people live there. I saw Grizzly bears, buffalo, in Wyoming forest when drove on road. Some people stopped to take pictures. No driving speed limit in Wyoming state, I was driving. Watch for animals than people.

I Googled Wyoming state population in 2016 was 585,501 people. Yellowstone National Park is the largest park in USA which has contained in 3 states boarder. Yellowstone has many geysers, waterfall, forest, ... It is very large. I've been there at least twice. The first time was 1981 when I was single, the 2nd time I brought whole family. Idaho state has 1.683 million population in 2016. Montana state has 1.043 million in population in 2016.

But California has high population for the good weather. California state has 39.25 million of people, more than NYC. California state is the one of 10 states that more people than NYC.

Regarding to 1. More people live in New York City than in 40 of the 50 states

There is no speed limit in Wyoming state. I have been to Yellowstone National Park twice. The land is big, but not many people there. Wyoming has grizzly bears. So, I predict Wyoming state is one of the 40 states that has less population than NYC.

Regarding to #6. It would take you more than 400 years to spend a night in all of Las Vegas's hotel rooms. (Total rooms: 146,100 rooms in Las Vegas)

400 yrs x 365 days = 146,000 days
Every 4 years have a "leap year", so 400 years has 100 days more for Feb 29th.
146,000 days + 100 days = 146,100 days
If you sleep at different room each night in Las Vegas, it will take 146,100 nights for at least 146,100 rooms.
