A absurd grump for an absurd headline: What toasts my buns about this article is that it uses hot dogs as a unit of “size” when it really means length. The asteroid is actually the size of millions of hotdogs, because asteroids and hotdogs are both three-dimensional.

I actually first assumed that they meant three dimensional volume when I read “size” and wondered how we saw such a tiny comet. Quite confusing (read: bad) choice of title…
