american football fields or euro football fields? please use the standard cheeseburger 👍
- The football you play with your hands, of course.
But there's a ferry in the middle
- Should reroute it via the Øresund bridge and tunnel.
  
  The bridge is already occupied by the E20.
- Seems there's two, actually, the other one being way at the bottom between mainland Italy and Sicily.
  
  Can still count as the same route even if it's not the same contiguous road, I guess 🤷
  
  I presume you can load your car on both ferries, meaning you can technically “drive” the whole route
  
  I couldn't see it for my finger but you're right. They keep talking about building a bridge though. It's a gap of about 4 km but it's in Italy.
- So does the Pan American Highway, but if we are willing to call that 30,000 km, i am willing to give the Euros their 5,000 km highway to feel important.
  
  The circumference of the planet is 40,000 km. If you made a highway and it's 30,000 km long you fucked up.
But how many swimming pools is that?

Assuming FINA pools, 100940
- 103,800
  
  My comment relied on
Had no idea it was an international thing, must have been on it hundreds of times in Sweden throughout my life. Gone from Gothenburg in the South to Hälsingland, north of Stockholm, about 2000km many times, to where my grandmother's summer house is. I always enjoy the trip almost as much as the vacation there.
- Dude, Sweden is 1600km long, Gothenburg to Hälsingland would be somewhere in the ballpark of 600km.
  
  Other fun fact, all roads starting with E are international (in swedish they are called Europaväg)
5.1 Mm?
- Five point one millimeter of what?
  
  M ≠ m in metric. Example: 1 MB = 1000 kB
Any trains though?
- In Europe? Yes, a few. Would even go so far as to say MANY!
It's also the about distance from San Francisco to Las Vegas.
- Should just move San Francisco to Finnmark and Vegas to Sicily, then. It's just easier that way 🤷
For the French, it's the Eiffel Towers.
But how many Danny DeVitos?
- The length of the E45 route from Finnmark to Sicily is a little under 3.5 million Danny DeVitos...is DEFINITELY a unique sentence 😄
is there a turnoff that leads to gibralter? because that would be so cool.
- I mean, there's probably thousands of places along the route where you can make a turn in order to head towards Gibraltar 🤷
  
  yeah just if there was one interupted road and if they ever got a bridge or tunnel going you could then have such a long theoretical thing.
