The Answer is "8,194"

So, Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce, citing irreconciliable differences with her husband, Kris Humphries.  I am shocked.

Here's the press release Kim issued: “After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage.  I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”

Let's take this one sentence at a time:
  • "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage."  As Chad Ochocinco would say, "Child, please."  Careful consideration?  Kim, you were married for 72 days!  I'm pretty sure I gave more careful consideration to whether or not I should break up with my 7th-grade girlfriend.  (For the record, I decided to stick it out.  That paid off in spades.  A few days later, she sent one of her friends over to tell me that she was breaking up with me.)
  • "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision."  Yes, Kim, I understand.  You must be terribly exhausted from all that really hard thinking stuff that you had to do to come to this decision.  Why don't you go take a nap.
  • "I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned."  Kim, I know exactly what you mean.  It's kind of like in "Legally Blonde" when Elle Woods went to Harvard to follow Warner, only to find out that Warner already had a new girlfried.  Poor Elle.  Her dreams were dashed.  Wait -- what's that?  "Legally Blonde" wasn't a true story?  I'm sorry.
  • "We remain friends and wish each other the best."  Let me help you out here, Kim.  Remember that girlfriend I had in 7th-grade?  Guess what?  We're not still friends.
In case you're wondering, the question is "How many more days than Kim Kardashian have I been married?"  May I please get some press coverage?
