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's "child-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
Can confirm, am American and three baby elephants are way heavier than whatever communist unit a "kilo" is.
Kilopound, of course
Sounds like some made-up British nonsense to me, like the stone. Can you rephrase in slugs?
IIRC elephants are born at 100 kg.
