11 days Later

A friend is moving from one of the vowel/fly-over states to sunny southern California in 11 days. That got me thinking; what else can you do in (about) 11 days?

- Orbit the Earth 163 times (10 days, 20 hours - Apollo 7, October, 1968)

- Be Pope (Urban VII (September 15–September 27, 1590): reigned for 13 calendar days, died before consecration.)

- Give birth to a possum (The shortest gestation period known in mammals is approximately 12 days.)

- Be a white blood cell (The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system. )

- Attend an Indian festival (As part of the Ekadasi day, a 11-day Chembai music festival is held annually in Thiruvanathapuram, capital of Kerala state, in September in memory of Chembai Vaidyanath Bhagawathar.)

- See every movie in the San Franciso Film Festival (The 11-day-long program is expected to draw some 9,000 moviegoers.)

- Pack your entire life into a car.
