How Big is Texas? Hold Your Stetsons, We're About to Lasso Some Land!
Ever looked at Texas on a map and thought, "dang, that state is humongous!" Well, you ain't wrong, partner. But how humongous are we talking, exactly? Let's wrangle up some facts and put Texas's size into perspective, y'all.
Acres of Acres: Don't Fence Me In (But Maybe You Could Fence in Texas?)
Texas boasts a whopping 695,662 square kilometers (or 268,597 square miles). That's a lot of land, folks. How much land, you ask? Well, enough to:
- Fit two Frances, with room to spare for a friendly game of two-step.
- Slap down three Italys side-by-side, and maybe even throw in a Liechtenstein for good measure. (Those Europeans sure do pack 'em in tight!)
- Corral over 18 Netherlands. Seriously, those Dutch folks must be living life real cozy over there.
Moral of the story? Texas is big. Bigger than your average European country, that's for sure.
So Big, It Needs Its Own Unit of Measurement: The Whataburger
Look, square kilometers and miles are all fine and dandy, but they just don't have the same Texas twang to them, do they? That's why we propose a new unit of measurement specifically for Texan landmass: the Whataburger.
Here's the conversion rate:
- 1 Whataburger = 1 square kilometer of pure Texas goodness (complete with honey butter chicken biscuits and friendly smiles)
By our calculations, Texas clocks in at a mighty 695,662 Whataburgers. Now that's a measurement a Texan can understand!
Don't Mess With Texas (There's Just Too Much of It)
So there you have it, folks. Texas: big, beautiful, and with enough land to make even the most land-hungry cattle rancher blush. Remember, everything's bigger in Texas, including the spirit, the friendliness, and, of course, the size.
Just don't try to mess with it, because wrangling in all that land would be one heck of a chore, even for the most seasoned Texan. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go grab a Whataburger to celebrate this glorious fact!
