"textContent": "In the song Missionary Man, Annie Lennox sings\n\n\n Well, I was born an original sinner\n I was born from original sin\n And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done\n There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin, hey!\n\n\nHow much money is that?\n\nAccording to Celebheights.com, she is 172.7cm tall. According to Wikipedia a dollar bill (I’ll assume she meant US dollars) is 0.11mm thick.\n\nHowever, how far down is her chin? According to findanyanswer.com, people tend to be 7 to 8 heads high (including the head), so we’ll plump for 7.5 heads. This leads to\n\n\n Height of chin = Height / 7.5 * 6.5\n = 172.7 / 7.5 * 6.5\n = 149.67\n\n\nSo number of dollars\n\n\n 149.67 / 0.011 = 13,606\n\n\nSo Annie had sinned approximate 13,600 times at the time of writing of the song",
