  I’m surprised they didn’t use immigrants as the unit.

  Even if you think height divided by two, why even describe it that way? Giraffes are tall, but not so unfathomably tall that something half its size is incomprehensible. That’s 7-9ish feet. You couldn’t say the size of Andre the Giant?

    Or just slice it long ways down the middle. Bilateral symmetry makes this pretty easy.

      Sorry, I don’t get the reference and the Wikipedia page didn’t help!

    People usually measure asteroids by mass (but then, those people are already abnormal, so who knows?), if so, it’s something around the size of a cow.

    Or maybe they could use metric…

      A big rock, maybe this is the appropriate time to use stone

    The Youth Today don’t know who that is. Then again, do they know how large a giraffe is? We may never know.

      Just today, I learned a handy way of visualizing the size of a giraffe. If you took that asteroid that struck off the coast of Iceland, and made a copy of it and put the two of them together, that’s about the size of a giraffe.
