Did you know that Eval Kneival has a poem? It starts at 1:52 ish and my favorite bit starts about 2:28
I heard it on a friend’s record in about 1992, and while some amount of drugs might have been involved, it was the funniest thing possible at that moment.

Too “sciency” for those who would (theoretically) benefit from knowing how significantly human activity can affect our small planet. Better off using inches instead; that they can instantly wrap their heads around.

edit: *16oz “pounder” can. PBR: a buck a pound.

Will that be enough for folks really deep in denial?
Let’s hope we won’t need a new scale of measurement reflecting one’s inability to walk upright…
