Anything but the metric system

I don't think this is possible. As far as I know, osmium is the densest element. A 355 cc chunk of osmium would only be about eight kilograms. I'm not sure what mass a baby elephant has, but I'm going to assume three of them would be well above eight kilos.

Nah, the drink is just american sized

It contains 300kg of sugar, or for the Americans here, about 3 baby elephants of sugar.

best explanation so far.

The article writer got things confused. The meteor is the size of Dr Hans Pepper, not the soft drink Dr Pepper.

It's probably some stupid way of describing it's inertia

IIRC elephants are born at 100 kg.

That is much larger than a can of Dr. Pepper. The photograph is so clear and it's covered in fucking craters.

Can't believe I'm the first one to mention the "Orbititing".

Damn 3 Baby elephants? That's like 225 ducks!

Now nasa is doing ad placements?

As an American what I don't get is if a foot is roughly 30cm and a kg is 2.2lbs how hard of a conversion is it really?
-
It's extremely hard actually. The problem isn't the math, it's the ability to communicate with other Americans because you'll be speaking a foreign language.
