Default Leave your zipper down in case you have to count to eleven

It's really true.
Circumference of Earth:
C=2πr [Circumference equals 2 times pi times radius]
Circumference of track of six foot tall man's head circumnavigating Earth:
C=2π(r+6)
Subtract the former from the latter and you get the further (f):
2π(r+6)-2πr=f
Expand the equation, you get:
2πr +12π -2πr=12π=12(3.1416)=37.7' further

Unclerube: Maybe he hits a timewarp along the way.
