Once in the 70's I went to the Camel Races in Virginia City...
combined height of over 112 dromedary camels. How do you measure height in space? Which way is up?
Well Darn!! the article is posted 9 hours ago, but no information about where to look in the sky so we can count the sheep!!!!! :smash:
5'0'' (153 cm) ; 108# (49 kg) - to save Googling.

wow what will areola Grande do next!!
Yes but when you put the Ariana modifier with the Grande if it the opposite of Mucho Grande!!! Thus Ariana Grande means.....

Ariana Grande stats - hope she does not put on weight as we will have another ever moving additional variant to our measurement system.

I'd neither name her, post picture or embarrass her in any manner what-so-ever; the tenant of my house blows Grande away. Hispanic, near identical age height & weight, proper hair color, polite, very reserved yet good humored, incredible cook, and the most dedicated Mother I've ever met.
Ever.
I certainly meant no disrespect to her. Just making a joke, perhaps a bad one, in regard to size vs name.
FWIW, in case you thought it was only media outlets that pushed these sorts of comparisons, this is straight from a NASA activity quiz for 5-12 year olds, here: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/f...nswerkey-1.pdf

Hello Jon,
You hit the nail on the head when you put 'media outlets' and '5 to 12 year olds' in the same sentence.
This is a good one, below is quoted from this article
"The researchers calculated the mass of New York buildings and determined their downward pressure on the Earth. They also presented satellite-image evidence of gradual sinking caused by the city’s impressive structures.
The buildings in New York weigh 1.68 trillion pounds total, according to the researchers — a mass that The Guardian equated to 140 million elephants (presumably the large African kind)."
End of quote. (bold added to highlight the other measurement system)
They are looking for solutions to help stop the sinking of the buildings. I may have to suggest they fill all of the buildings with HELIUM to make them lighter!!!! :smash:
This explains a lot:

Because of the cost of packaging, I try to base my buying on cost per each or cost per ounce.
With toilet paper it's not worth the effort, so I just pay the bandits what they ask.
Thanks for the laugh.
I use BangYourBuck.com for unit shopping on Amazon. Plus the Keepa plugin to display a historic price line chart, as Amazon constantly claims that everything is on sale.

If asking teenage girls the question needs to be rephrased.
Like if you where driving like 80 miles per hour like how long would it like take you to drive like 80 miles?
I'd have to say responding to anything that includes 'like' is a guess or worse. This video exhibits at least two failures, comprehension of English in a clear statement, literally repeating the question, means they cannot actually listen. Indicates no connection of time-speed-and distance; but I'll bet they know exactly last possible moment to leave and arrive a specific location. The other girl introduces time of acceleration, which is not part of 'driving 80 mph'.
So mallards, canvas back, bufflehead or green wing teal?
Too bad the ducks weren't this big...

And if you were wondering, under that duck is a LARC...

And farther down in the article, we have these two gems.
The previous one, asteroid 2023 CX1, was around the size of two Super Bowl trophies and impacted the Earth near Normandy, France, just seven hours after Sárneczky discovered it.
The first asteroid he discovered right before impact was 2022 EB5, an asteroid around half the size of a giraffe that was spotted just two hours before impacting near Norwegian territory.
So now we can specify lengths to greater precision...
It was X giraffes .Y trophies Z ducks long
