Surgical instruments apparently now come in dish sizes.

Heck, even if it was only the size of a saucer thatâs a rather large item to leave behind. Itâs also why checklists are so helpful in these situations.

My understanding is that itâs kind of like an embroidery hoop holding a clear plastic barrier.
The article does say that the count was performed, but this device is supposed to be partially external and âobviousâ, so it wasnât included in the count.
This case caused them to change their procedures and they now include it in their count.

Iâm so glad the helpful description included the word âelegantâ, which prevented me from immediately assuming they were tacky.

I searched off of @Tamsin_Baileyâs image to find what is the source, or at least a source.

The whole site is a remarkable harvest of the purest crop of kitsch Iâve seen in a long time.

Weird. The title in the article is:
An asteroid almost three times as big as a king size bed is scheduled to pass Earth on Wednesday

This is also good:
There is an asteroid so large that a person could easily roam around it as if it was their individual home.

The author of that article is just fucking with us. Or they want to get a mention in BoingBoing.
At the time of this writing, it is projecting that this object is the size of a house, with a diameter of 31 meters or over 100 feet, and will whiz harmlessly by our planet on September 6th.
Meet 2021 JA5, an asteroid that the Jerusalem Post noted was equal in size to â81 bulldogs,â and which also has the diameter of roughly two-and-a-half king size beds.
On Sept. 8th, it will be joined by an airplane-sized asteroid named QC5, which is expected to pass within 2.53 million miles of Earth. In addition it will be joined on that day by a bus-sized asteroid called GE that will pass within 3.56 million miles of Earth.
CORRECTION: In a previous version of this article, the asteroidâs size was compared to king-size mattresses. It has been amended to more accurately reflect its size.
This is ridiculous. Who uses miles anymore?

The joker in question is named Aaron Reich. Jerusalem Post always has ridiculous comparisons in their headlines when an asteroid passes earth
