Can someone convert the measurement to bratwurst for the Europeans?
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.
How much is that in beans?
Anything but Metric
Obligatory “Americans will use everything but the metric system” joke aside, I wonder how astronomers can even discover an asteroid this small.
The “size” of 100 hot dogs is misleading. It is not a pile of 100 hot dogs to demonstrate the volume of the asteroid, but a line of 100 hot dogs to demonstrate the diameter, which is 16 meters. So in volume, this is a lot more than 100 hot dogs!
