Of course I can’t find it now, but I swear the first article I read about this asteroid said it was half the size of Michael Jordan.

Giraffe, “What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and wet, it needs a big wide sounding name like … whee … eeee … sea! That’s it! That’s a good name – sea!”
“I wonder if it will be friends with me?”
Apologies to other guides to the galaxy.
