Shaq is one super-sized gas guzzler
Basketball star Shaquille O'Neal, known for his size 23 feet, is working on a carbon footprint to match. The Detroit Free Press says that the athlete, actor and author has filed a financial statement for his divorce case in which he claims to spend $23,000 a month at gas stations. Now even accounting for the occasional Big Gulp, that's still about 7,000 gallons of gas, which even in a vehicle with utterly dismal mileage should still allow him to drive 112,000 miles a month, or 3700 miles per day. Assuming, therefore, that Shaq doesn't sleep and has no other activities on his agenda, that means his life consists of driving around continuously at an average speed of 154 miles per hour. Hey, what's that blur with the huge feet? Don't worry kids, that's just Shaq, doing his global warming thing...
