    Hi Mighty Meaty. That’s for the praise, but if you’re trying to flatter me into calculating … oh, all right, but this better be worth your vote every day for the next week.

    Let’s say we’ve got African elephants, and shoulder to shoulder they take up about 5 square metres each. Surface area of the moon is 37.8 million square kilometres, or 37.8 million million square metres.

    That’s 7560 billion elephants.
