Huh. Maths.

The Toronto Transit Commission has just issued its new campaign. The picture shows four (4) planet Earths happily boarding a TTC bus. The text says something along the lines of: "we've transported four times the population of the Earth".

Baffling concept.

Froglet: Oh, EW!
rainette: ?
Froglet: Look, the EARTH. Earths.
rainette: well, the real Earth is much bigger than than that.
Froglet: I KNOW! It has at least one HUNDRED houses!
rainette: a lot more than that, sweetpea. There are about 6 billion people on Earth, you know.
Froglet *frowns* Wow.
rainette: ...
Froglet *frowns*: ...
rainette: ...
Froglet *still frowning*: so, if the Earth were the size of the Earths in that picture, you would need four of them to accomodate all these people?
rainette: :D

Cos honestly, considering the size of the Earth in that picture, it can only comfortably accomodate one person, and even then, it would have to be a Cirque du Soleil contortionist, mark my words.

:D That was her initial reaction upon seeing these four weirdly coloured balls boarding the bus -- and then she identified the planet Earth, which I thought was actually quite smart.
