Hillary Clinton’s hearing on Benghazi lasted more than 11 hours on Thursday. Here are some things that were shorter:

• The Hobbit trilogy
• Pickett’s Charge
• The administration of Pedro Lascuráin, the 34th president of Mexico
• The lifespan of a female mayfly
• Phish’s set at Big Cypress in 1999
• The Anglo-Zanzibar War
• The Pawtucket Red Sox’s 33-inning victory over the Rochester Red Wings in 1981
• The Goldblum Challenge (in which one watches this 10-hour video of Jeff Goldblum laughing)
