Let’s say you wanted to watch the 2003 Academy Award Winner for Best Picture, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. But, because you are a person of culture, you put in the first disc of the extended edition, which clocks in at 2 hours and 7 minutes.
Let’s also say that you decided to do this at 6:40 pm on Monday, April 17, right when the Kansas City Royals started playing against the Texas Rangers. Just a few minutes before watching the orc army of Mordor chant “Grond!” as the people and soldiers of Minas Tirith look in terror at the wolf’s head battering ram moving towards the front gates, the Royals-Rangers game had come to a close: 4-0, in a contest lasting 2 hours and 2 minutes.
