Man, we’ll use any measurement system to avoid using metric…

Yeah I get it 84 orcas but how much in bananas?

An average orca weights 6600 to 8800 pounds. Using 7700 pounds as the weight of our orca to bananafy, at 3 bananas per pound = 23,100 bananas per orca.

So the asteroid is 1,940,400 bananas.

I know orcas aren't whales and don't have tails and asteroids don't wonder if "ground" will be friends, but I had defo Douglas Adams vibes from the title.
