I don't fool with Twitter much, although I do follow a few people. However, reading this article by the SILF Emily, makes me think I should pay more attention:

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.

they also call me "balloon"

The power of Hadfield's moustache is world-spanning. Not even the greatest celebrities can defy it.

So the Meteor buzzing us Friday has a small moon:

Ok, that's all fine and dandy, but….

CAN WE PLEASE STOP USING STUPID SIZE COMPARISONS!!!!!

The main space rock is the size of nine ocean liners, roughly 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) across

:mad:

I understand miles, kilometers, feet, inches, centimeters, microns, light years, etc.

I don't really care how many ocean liners or football fields it equates to.

What next? converting numbers into the number of fingers or hands, or people in a large stadium? "As many people were injured yesterday as would be on the fingers of yourself, your wife and both parent's hands. More on this story before midnight by the same amount of time it would take you to eat dinner, do dishes and then have a nice cup of coffee."

Geez, you're tall. Not really, I'm two Gary Coleman's high.

You're twenty-hands-worth-of-fingers percent right.
