  Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.

    I let one cut and the other gets to pick first.

    Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.

    Make sure to get the same number of spots too.

  This is why real scientists use the only reasonable real world measurement - a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum.

    Hmm. Thought they used bananas.

  Even if you think height divided by two, why even describe it that way? Giraffes are tall, but not so unfathomably tall that something half its size is incomprehensible. That’s 7-9ish feet. You couldn’t say the size of Andre the Giant?

    The Youth Today don’t know who that is. Then again, do they know how large a giraffe is? We may never know.

      Just today, I learned a handy way of visualizing the size of a giraffe. If you took that asteroid that struck off the coast of Iceland, and made a copy of it and put the two of them together, that’s about the size of a giraffe.

    People usually measure asteroids by mass (but then, those people are already abnormal, so who knows?), if so, it’s something around the size of a cow.

    Or maybe they could use metric…

  The anatomical answer is sagitally down the midline.

  You divide the giraffe vertically down the center 🤦‍♂️

  Dear gods

  How far will these Americans go to not use the metric system… ffs

  I’m surprised they didn’t use immigrants as the unit.
