  I don’t believe that for second. There’s a lot of fucking stars in the milky way.

  And we’ve cut down a hell of a lot of trees.

    I was curious, so:

    3 trillion trees.

    vs

    100 - 400 billion stars.

      Where are they hiding all these trees? I just looked outside and saw, like, 5 tops.

        Well I’m seeing like 5 over here as well, so we’re up to 10.

    That’s why it’s such a fun fact.
