[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t realize that MPH meant quite literally “miles per hour,” as in you go that many miles in an hour. I thought the number was just a speed computation with no connection to distance. When I was a kid my dad used to estimate road trip time by showing us the map and saying “we’re going 900 miles. We can drive roughly 50 miles in an hour (guess he was a slow driver) so it should take us 18 hours.” I lived a 13 hr drive from college and I guess I thought I rocketed through some time warp of awesome when I made it in 1/3 of the time from my dad’s childhood calculation. Blew my mind junior year when I had my AHA moment at midnight on a long stretch of hwy through Tennessee. I. Am. So dumb. [/quote]
