The Number of the Day: 147,117,038
by Jason English - January 3, 2011 - 2:43 PM

In 2010, mentalfloss.com racked up 147,117,038 pageviews. Thanks to everyone who helped us run up the score! We’re aiming for 200,000,000 this year.

Related Fact: The number of people who found us by typing “how to use toilet paper” into a search engine was 482. If 200,000,000 proves to be out of our reach, at least we can work hard to improve the TP metric in 2011.

  1. There are 500 people out there who know how to use the Internet but not how to use toilet paper? That made my day!

  3. I thought the same thing!!
    Interestingly, they can get on a computer and Google “how to use toilet paper” but are a little sketchy on the details of how to clean their bum.
