  • Kim and Kris' marriage: Did it last longer than this cake?
    Start The Slideshow

    A trending hashtag today has been #longerthankimsmarriage, referring to the 72 days during which Kim Kardashian was married to Kris Humpries, as compared to other relatively short occurrences. We went through Twitter and made sure no one was bending the truth on the Internet.

     

     

     

  • Back Forward Kim and Kris' marriage: Did it last longer than this cake?

    A Night Of Style & Glamour To Welcome Newlyweds Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries - Inside

    attends A Night of Style & Glamour to welcome newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries at Capitale on August 31, 2011 in New York City.

  • Back Forward Reggie Bush in bed

    False: Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape with rapper Ray J was over 30 minutes long, but Ms. Kardashian's marriage lasted 1,728 hours. We doubt that her other paramour, Reggie Bush, could last longer.

  • Back Forward The first season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"

    The first season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"

    False: The first season ran from October 14th to December 4, which is less than 60 days, let alone 72.

  • Back Forward African-Americans in scary movies

    African-Americans in scary movies

    False: Even within the reality of the film itself, most horror movies do not span over several months, let alone long enough to have the stereotype of the "black character dying first" be true.

  • Back Forward 140 characters on Twitter

    140 characters on Twitter

    Depends: If we are going to count every character as a "day" in real life, than yes, Twitter counts are longer than the marriage of Kardashian-Humphries by around double the amount.

  • Back Forward Rebecca Black's musical career

    Rebecca Black's musical career

    True!: Ms. Black released her first single in March, 2011. Whether you like her or not, her career is still going strong.

  • Back Forward 'Dora the Explorer'

    'Dora the Explorer'

    False: Dora's half hour segments feature several "pauses," which, even when added up collectively throughout all the shows, would not equal over 1,000 hours of silence.

  • Back Forward Amount of time planning wedding

    Amount of time planning wedding

    True: If you count from her engagement to the wedding (May 25th to August 20th) as being the time she "planned" the wedding, it is over 72 days.

  • Back Forward Han Solo's Kessel Runs

    Han Solo's Kessel Runs

    Unclear: Any nerds out there want to translate Kim's marriage to how time works in hyper-drive?

  • Back The lies of George Bush

    The lies of George Bush

    Depends: Again, we're talking about time versus length or, if you prefer, number of occasions. However, if you were to speak out loud all the lies any human has ever said over the course of their lives, it may take longer than Kim Kardashian's marriage.
