Default-piece-image-0 What can you do in three minutes? If you're Joey Chestnut, last year's winner of Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, you can down 66 dogs in 12 minutes. So in three minutes... SFX: Bell ...you could eat 16 and a half dogs. If you're Yunxia Qu, World Record holder of the 1500 meter at 3 minutes, 50 seconds... SFX: Starter's pistol ...in three minutes even, you could run 1174 meters. Mux: GWTW Theme And if you're anyone else you could watch exactly half of the opening credits of Gone with the Wind. Or you could spend that time on something a little less fleeting, because 3 minutes is all it takes to become a member of this station.
