Despite losing the faceoff, the Canucks scored the fastest overtime playoff goal in team history on Saturday. Alex Edler created the turnover, Daniel Sedin provided the dish, and Alex Burrows supplied the finish, all in a mere 11 seconds. It all happened so fast that thousands of Canucks fans didn’t even see the goal. 11 seconds is not enough time for a bathroom break or to grab a snack from the fridge. But there are lots of things that can be accomplished in 11 seconds and it might help us understand how incredibly quick this goal truly was.
In 11 seconds…
1. …I can accelerate from 0 to 60 in my beat-down old car. That’s 60 kilometers/hour, not miles.
2. …Twista can pronounce 123.2 syllables.
3. …a person can wash his or her hair (shampoo only, does not include rinsing and repeating, assumes short hair).
4. …Usain Bolt can run 117 meters.
5. …you can watch two films at 5 Second Films and have a bit of free time afterward.
6. …Orville Wright took his first flight in a powered aircraft and still believed he could keep it aloft. 1 second later he discovered he was wrong.
7. …you can listen to 1/15th of the drum solo from “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.”
8. …a pregnant pause in a conversation comes to full term and gives birth to an awkward pause-baby.
9. …light can travel 3,297,717.038 kilometers.
10. …you can create a stupid thread on the Canucks.com forums and have it deleted.
11. …Piotr Alexandrowicz can solve a Rubik’s cube one-handed.

June 6, 2011Did you watch the Rubik’s cube video of the Finnish guy doing it with his feet in a little over 30 seconds?! Holy crap, that is something.
Specifically, something to take my mind off of tonight’s abortion of a hockey game.

June 7, 2011That’s lathering short hair only. No rinsing.
Think of the time you’ll save if you shave your head! Super-fast showers in the morning and it’s always in-style.
