These stories just show that scientists do have a sense of humor, but the readers are too thick to get it. "We don't just wear these white coats with our names embroidered on the pocket. We know a good joke when we tell it. Imagine how much fun it would be to attend some scientist cocktail parties "Did you hear about the penguin that was the size of 1/100th of an asteroid?"

Worked that out all on your own, did ya?
(Personally, I think the problem is "journalists" that are paid by the column inch padding things. But that's just me.)

My wife is the size of 83 piglets, but don't tell her I said that.
