Sorry Bieber....

It's old news that "Gangnam Style" by Psy has become the #1 Youtube video ever, ousting Justin Bieber's "Baby". Not only does it warm my heart when a face that's plastered to every other girl's wall is dethroned by an eccentric, slightly chunky Korean "weird al", but the numbers are pretty crazy. Bieber's video has 809,271,898 views, while Gangnam Style has 903,119,259. Because of someone else's creativity, I discovered something very baffling.....let's do some math:

Gangnam Style is a video that's 4:13 minutes long......

(903,119,259 views) x (4.2167 mins.) = 3,808,152,875 minutes spent watching this video.....

3,808,152,875/60 = 63,469,214.59 hours spent watching this video......

63,469,214.59/24 = 2,644,550.608 entire days spent watching this video......

2,644,550.608/365 = 7,245.344131 years spent watching this video.......

So roughly 7,245 years worth of time has been spent watching a video of a man ride an imaginary horse.....

Granted, the math is very inaccurate (many sensible people probably didn't watch the video in its entirety). 

Imagine art history from Renaissance to modern day -- about 1350-2012. It 662 years for art to go from the Renaissance through however many art movements to what we have today. The time spent watching Gangnam style (one piece of "art") is almost enough to repeat the time from the Renaissance to present day 11 times.....

Anyway, this conspiracy arithmetic could be applied to just about any youtube video for practically the same baffling results, but I presume people don't think about it much. If you're still willing to watch it after the above, here it is:
