#2 three-foot asteroid

From the people who call 'personnel carriers' and 'self propelled artillery' tanks. 3 foot is a good size meteorite.

#5 ^ Remind us again, are armadillos sold by weight or volume?

#6 Did you know:
In 1958 a litter of Armadillos was born in captivity. One random kit was picked out - a male, named him Spot - and was raised in captivity. At exactly his 2nd birthday, he was measured and weighed, and adhered to a stretch of road which would eventually be call I-10. An off the line, standard model 1960 Ford F-150 Regular Cab Long Bed, driven by Tom 'Pecos' Jamison weighing in at exactly 150lbs, driving at exactly 60mph, struck Spot using the front-passenger tire, and the sound was recorded on magnetic tape? That audio became the standard for a measure of sound called a Dillybel, or dBL, and is still in use today to measure the intensity of an armadillo vehicle strike? Everything used in standardizing this unit of measure can be found in The Lever Museum in Paris, Texas.
