People now too stupid to create decent analogy.

As heavy as 3 jumbo jets, enough water to fill 4000 Olympic swimming pools, as long as 6 space shuttles end to end. What happened to pounds, kilograms, gallons, litres, feet and metres…or rods and leagues for that matter…what happened to units of measure?

How long is a space shuttle? 149.6 feet. I looked it up. So six of the bastards is about 900 feet. Why not just say that. I know what 900 feet looks like.

I assumed, for their size, jumbo jets would be very light actually, I mean they’re made of thin aluminum and can, you know, fly. If you can’t just say 361,276 lbs, or better yet 180 tons, why not at least use freight trains (diesel-electric engine 80-90 tons) or something else one assumes is heavy? May as well just say 481,230 cans of hairspray or 1/538 of an aircraft carrier for all the good it does you.

Wanted: Joe, Skookum
Height: 28 cane toads, stacked.
Weight: 109 hats full of shit, dog.
Attitude: Poor, not even trying.


That last part’s true.

I'm against arming babies. They have poor judgement and emotional control.

900 f*****g feet. "They" messed with the sat nav at work. I`m working with a moron. We are driving our ambulance at 60mph down the high street. It says "turn left in 900 feet" He slams on the brakes "is it this one?" The young moron is 850 ft out, perhaps turn left in one jumbo would have been better...
