That’s awesome.
How is she gonna name her dog Kevin, but not Dug?
Squirrel!
Source: a diagnosed schizophrenic and Gnostic on Twitter claims to have found this in a college bathroom. Which one of y’all has been putting these up?
Can’t just say “It weighs about 1000 lbs.”.
It has to weigh something wierd, like as much as a manatee.
Maybe they just knew their readers and knew to translate it into units they would better understand.
They knew their audience?
It’s Texas shouldn’t it read something like “XXXX .556 Nato Rounds”?
Fuckin’ A. The meteor hit with the force of seven kegs?
Putting it in those terms really drives home the awe and wonder of mother nature.
Seven full kegs. You don’t see those every day!
My local news covered this story too, but no mention of the keg forces involved. How am I supposed to know what 8 tons of TNT is?
That’s super dense, though. A lot of strongman natural stones are around that size and no where near 7 kegs of beer.
Or you could use the metric system like normal people, not French livres, body parts nor drinking vessels.
Americans know metric system conversions. We just think it is silly to say that a meteor weighs 0.007 kilokegs.
Yeah!
Using the one that just hit as the standard, college kids can now have parties with like 3 or 5 1/14 meteors of beer.
